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.

Sorry, best picture right now--we had to mod the MBRP rack extension to work with the AEV snorkel and this was mid-mod.



Only pic post-mod ...


Oh, if you haven't noticed, check out my headlights in the top pic. I never liked the bug-eye look of the stock headlights. These, from Northridge, are much more classic looking.

They came with130 watt, autozone has 150 watt Sylvania bulbs that actually fit, also sell 100 watt ones. I keep spares in my tool box, will take a look to verify (The fog lens comes with 100 watt bulbs)
The long distance, driving, and fog lights are all the same aside from lens and wattage I believe.

I like those, they look like the lens is flat, are they?

Great looking rig Mark!

The square and rectangular lighting arrangements may be the better lighting option, but they just look odd on a Jeep. Maybe it's the next generation poking up its head. Maybe square headlights will make a comeback on the Jeep. But, until then, I'd say you can get plenty of lumens with round lights.

This ... was an opinion. :-)
Mark, I hear what you are saying about the round/square thing. I am still debating switching to some Rigid bars; think I will let things sit as they are for now. Thanks for the input!

Mark-

I just went with the same trailgator table that you have and boy-oh-boy is it awesome. Super happy. I'm planning to get a rack up top so I can put an awning on the side, a must have in my opinion, although I could be swayed. Just curious, when it comes to rain, what do you do about using the back tailgate table? Have you thought up a clever way to stay dry or do you just deal?

'Heavily Lumened' LED lights can be round... check the ARB 'Intensity'.
Very well made and very round, but for a price...

You're welcome.
I've learned to trust Ausi offroad products too. They seem to know what they're doing.
