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.

Lets see em, 2 doors only!!!

I'm at 2.5", 35's, and not really 2 doors at all. The Bestop cover seems legit so far.

It looks good. I keep changing parts (coils, wheels, tires, flares, etc.) going for a "look" in addition to function and I just can't nail it. I've got function but the "look" isn't there yet. Sounds like I need a touch more lift and back to full flares.

You don't like your fender mod? Yours are probably 1 of the cleaner cut one's I've seen. I'm actually somewhat in the same boat. I cut my driver's flare in a similar style and still debating if I like it enough to do the other 3.


It's not a problem for me to lift higher though if needed since I'm running coilovers but I really want to keep everything LCG and not go over 3.5" of lift. Decisions.

Thank you, but no- I'm not crazy about my cut. I've got a friend and we just cut her flares but left more lip on them and I'm deadly envious. I've got probably 1/2"- 3/4" of lip all around whereas she's got probably 1.5". I'm looking for another set of flares to cut. It seems that I acquire a set and then someone needs them before I get around to cutting.

Her flares vv

The ones on the silver Jeep are Mopar hi-line full coverage fenders, they sit higher up and give clearance while maintaining that OEM look

Yes, Mopar Highline Flares would be on my shortlist but the price is astronomical and I'm not happy with how they fit the gas tank opening. I like the functionality of the extra clearance with slick looks I'm my opinion.

Hopefully I'll be able to get out on the trails soon....hopefully.
