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.

Default Full Traction & AEV build on 2012 Rubicon

I just finished installing The AEV front and rear bumper with tire carrier and Warn 9500 cti this morning. Full traction did the installation or their 3' Premium Plus lift with Bilstein 5100's. They also installed the Hanson Rocksliders, Engine skid and a JR Reel driveshaft. They Also installed thei CRC Link (Watts Link) which works great!!

I come from an automotive background and am pretty picky with things and all I can say is this is way nicer than I hoped for. The ride and handling is off the hook, smooth, very quiet, corners dead flat and the back end stays in line in under every road going situation I have put it to. My drive back home from Full Traction facility took me over Pacheco Pass which has high speed bends over an undulating road surface. The Jeep tracked perfectly!!

Chris helped me get started, Steve Kramer, the owner of Full Traction spent all the time with me to choose, and Orin their shop foreman did over the top work.

I guess you could say I am a Very happy camper!!
