JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Though most of my mods were designed and created in my garage, my desire to create was not the only motivator. Costs play a major part in it as well.
I thank everyone for the suggestions, but its not in the realm of reasonable acquisition at this time.



If engine replacement was an option, it would have taken place long ago...though Im not even sure the engine is the problem.

I was just sayin that since you had the sunday, sunday, sunday post, lol. Remember the hemi commercial when that engine first came out? Your at home mods look pretty cool imo. I like the rivet decals. Good luck on gettin it running again.

Anyone know how to crack into the column?
I'm sure now it's full of mud.
Chunks fall out when I move it up and down.
On the bright side, it did finally let go of my keys.

Ive decided that instead of going inside when I need a break from the disappointment of my inability to fix the jeep, Im gonna do other mods.
I know its good to walk away from things for a little bit when they arent going your way. First backup mod will be a rear 1.75" lift....but hopefully I wont ever get to it...I hope to be able to focus on the task at hand.
