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.

Finally got and built my jeep

So here she is.

http://gallery.mac.com/cody.hess#100...or=black&sel=0

I don't have offroad pictures yet, but I will be going to tellico this weekend.

Shrockworks stubby w/hoop black powdercoat
Warn Dual Force HP w/100' 3/8 X-line (shouldn't ever break)
2.5" teraflex BB
Spydertracks wheelspacers.
and IPF Driving lights w/100w bulbs.

And she drives like a dream on the road, I just drove here to Asheville NC (8 hour drive) and I was set on 78 the whole way. I was getting 17mpg average. And it was just as quiet if not more than my Grand Cherokee.

So far the little 4 wheeling I did while in Florida was a joke for her. I did all the work by myself and it took me a day for the lift and half day for the rest, so anybody can do this.

Default haha no

I have been overseas, and picked the jeep up in Florida a couple weeks ago. I'm headed to Tucson but I'm visiting family first in Asheville.

And thanks, I wanted a capable jeep that I could still travel across country with. So I may have spent more time on some things, but I wanted things like wires well hidden.

Wink looks good! !

I finally get to see a 2 Door Rubicon with stock tires and 1.5'' Spidertrax wheel spacers and some lift.

Looks like it should have come from the dealer like that!

Nice looking rig..
is it on a hill?
it looks like you need another 3/4in spacer for the front to level it off.
with the extra weight from the bumper

very nice rig

Default tellico

Really, that sucks, the maps and info I have says tellico is open all year. Another trail that we were going to do said it was closed until April. Bummer

Well, anybody have any other ideas?? I'm in Asheville until Monday, and my brother and I want to take her (the jeep) out and stretch her legs.

oh, and thanks for moving it, i should have put it under show & tell myself but was browsing under modified and didn't even think about it.
