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 a picture of Gekko on the right Tigger in the middle, and T-Rex on the left. This pic is at one of the playgrounds near St George. Gekko did well wheeling at winter on the rocks.

My son still hasn't seen the Gekko yet. Tomorrow he will! Gekko is being delivered then!

That is an awesome rig. I don't see a recessed area in the rear bumper to accommodate the spare. Does the TF carrier just hold the tire out far enough so the bumper doesn't interfere?

Curious as well. Was looking at a very similar setup with the TF and JCR dagger but couldnt tell if my 37 would clear the bumper

The TnT "guardian" bumper isn't notched because it isn't "thick" and the TF carrier sticks out just a bit. 37's are no problem.

Love the Jeep, the renegade throwback is a fantastic idea, I'm especially interested the rear bumper. I assume it requires some frame trimming? Any idea when TnT is planning on releasing it?

Thanks. It actually is a "package" that they offer. The renegade package includes things like adjustable short arms, sliders, guardian bumpers, tire carrier, winch, TR beadlocks, tires (usually 35" but I did 37") They also do a package called "Trail Boss", which is mega built. One their Facebook page this stuff shows up. I

The bumper is cool. I think they will launch it at EJS. I was at their shop last week and know they were busy building them for inventory.

To mount the rear bumper, trimming does need to be done:
Here is the cutting guide:
