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.

No damage part of the natural evolution of the jeep if you can't afford to do everything at once!

We've actually formed a good relationship with Tera Flex having run their short arms for a couple years now...the after sales service is top notch and so are their products. The EVO LCA is a great design with some outstanding clearance and as you know jeeps are almost always in a state of evolution so who knows what the future might bring. As for a rear bumper we bought a Poison Spyder BFH rear bumper and planned running it even had Mel powder coat it and prepare to fab up the new cross member it would have taken to install it but in the 11th hour decided we still want the option to tow (we have a Willis trailer we are building up) and so I decided to cap the frame rails with the EVO D-Rings they just came out with and wait for the rear EVO bumper to be released!

right on.. well said. yea Tera makes good products. I've had one of their very first LA kits on my JK. I was really happy with it. until I started to notice how those lower rear control arm mounts started to almost stop the Jeep from going and sometimes stoping it from moving on brake over obstacles. It did bother me. I'm installing the EVO LA as we speak at ORE so I'm pretty excited to test that out.

I do like how they are out of the way and are very very sturdy.

you can't go wrong with either company to be honest!

nice on the bumper BTW!! post some pics when it's done

Default very nice

I'm sure it'll be awesome. I drool over these set-ups all the time on this forum and keep asking myself the same question. "What the hell do these people do for a living to afford this?"
Please post the after pic, I'm sure it will be great. Have fun.

Thanks hope we get it back in time to do some of the mods we had planned to install but if not it's still going to be a blast to get dialed in at Moab!
