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, Winch and Bumper

X2 on the looks!! I am still running stock, but personally I think they are the first and maybe the best mods to get. Hope to have similar mod soon. Gi

I need to take mine off to put the purejeep shackle mounts this weekend and i can't seem to find any other way to get to the inner bumper bolts unless you unbolt the winch and take off the grill to slide back the winch
When I put the Winch on I did remove the grill. I ran into clearance problems on the driver side frame tabs (flat piece on end of rail) I had to bend it out of the way because the winch was hitting. Also you need some tapered head bolts to mount the failead or you will have to grind the heads down. Other than that it was ok. As for the shackle mounts, you are right. There is no way to get to them. Send pics when you finish, that's my next mod other than lights.

Yeah that's what I thought that you would have to take off the grill, but I just didn't know if the clearance was enough to take it off with the winch installed. I think if I remove the winch mount bolts i'll have enough room to shimmy the grill off and then i'll have access to the bumper bolts.

I'll probably do the shackle mounts next weekend and will take pics when they're on.
