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 Homebuilt Bunper

Looks really good, nice and clean.

Why did you not use the tow hoops you had in the first photos posted?
I was just wondering because I have a set of those for a front bumper that I am going to modify and install.

Looks good dude!!

BTW, your old one is still sitting in my garage. Probabaly gonna just put it on for now and figure out where i want to add/remove stuff after we hit the trails a few more times. Then start cutting it up and adding to it. Already got a few ideas, now i just need time....

I love how the Bushwackers make the Jeep look just like my cat when he says THIS:


Love the bumper and the flares, both are on my wishlist!

It looks good- just curious if there was any reason for mounting it lower versus higher other than personal preference?
