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.

Well gave up on the steering for now and went wheeling for a bit.

Couldnt quite reach full flex here, o well should have drove higher up.











A few trench shots.











Ripped this off, but it went right back on. Reverse lights out though...

I'm pretty jealous that you can just pull out of your driveway and hit the rocks.

Ok well decided to sack up and finally start putting my jeep knowledge to the test. I am in the process of getting a set of dana 60s. The front is a High pinion ford and the rear is a d60 from a dodge. I will be ditching my current axles and all that stuff. I will be doing a double triangulated rear and 3 link front. It will be on 40s and stretched somewhere between 105-110" wheelbase.This will be my first decent sized build and a big learning step for me. I just told my buddy I would buy one of his sets of axles so it may be a bit before I get started on this little project. I need to sell my tires,rims,axles and such before I can really go nuts. I probably wont update much more until I can start getting into it. Will keep everyone posted!
