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.

Here is one small stream crossing I did the other day while we were out with a group, no need for a snorkel in it but it's just an example.

It's tough building and getting everything you need put all together into one vehicle, we hope to take a short trip or something this summer to see how it all works out. I don't have a ton more money to put into it, I've put a lot into it already this year. It's a slow process.
Same for me. I've been building mine since 2009. When you have a full-time job and a full-time family it all too often has to take a back seat. Still, it's a fun project and every so often I have a season of doing things and ordering new stuff. Always something to look forward to. I mostly have larger stuff left to do now. The rear bumper, replacement roof rack... Problem for me is these things need to be ordered from the US. They end up costing me 2.5 times what they would cost me if I lived in the States.

Assuming you mean my Jeep, that is a Shrockworks rear bumper with tire carrier, and optional jerry can and trail racks. It is not very common because they are a low volume outfit that produces upon demand and payment. It can take months to receive the product. Worth the wait if you have the time and patience.

That's basically how I do it. A build season. Then a break to save more money.
I have friends in Canada. It's horrible that there is such a price difference from them getting stuff and myself getting the same thing. It's the shipping that is the worst part.

Yep. Case in point: my LOD mid-width bumper cost $995 shipped in the US when I bought mine. Mine cost me $995 plus exactly $995 in shipping. When it arrived in the UK they charged me 20% tax on the entire sum, shipping included plus another $20 bucks to process the tax bill. My total bill? $2400. For a front bumper....

Someone living in the US could have bought both the front AND the rear bumper plus the winch for that and had change left over for a brewsky.

It is. I had just finished church and decided to get out and shoot some photos of nearby Lake Stanley Draper after the pretty good ice storm. I stopped actually just around the corner from my house, when just by coincidence caught a friend, James and Brandy, headed home from their church. James and Brandy drive the white Jeep JK and LR D90 you see in some of my videos. And are also into photography. Anyway, they tagged along and Brandy caught that as they were driving behind me. Truly an amazing shot. To give you an idea of the ice we had, here are a couple images I got that day ...
