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.

hey man it's looking really nice. Im building some rock sliders right now but my next build is going to be a bumber for sure and i'm really liking your design. I was going to co-sign on it if you don't mind. The only two things I don't understand is how you are going to mount the bumper to the frame and th other is the tubing... what angle do you have on yours how did you notch it to fit onto the front there.

Wow that looks good. How do you plan on mounting that to your frame? And is that 3/16" top plate strong enough for that winch or did you reinforce it?
