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 ModAPalooza Done! (for now)

I live on the road, which means I don't have a garage. This puts me doing mods in campgrounds, parking lots, or wherever I can. We recently came to Colorado to see some family and friends, and one of my friends has a massive garage/shop, with every tool imaginable. Enter ModAPalooza.

I had a couple of weeks, so I thought I would take full advantage of the garage. I did a bunch of mods, and finished some that I had started and hadn't finished. It was a great time to spend in the shop with some friends, and get some things done that I wouldn't normally have the opportunity to do.

Here is the list that I was able to get done:
  • Hothead Headliners
  • Evo C2 Gussets
  • Evo LCA Skids
  • Riddler Diff Covers - front and rear
  • Poison Spyder Brawler Rockers
  • Poison Spyder Evap Skid
  • GenRight Aluminum Tire Carrier
  • Completed Viair Compressor and Tank Install
  • RR A-Pillar Hack and Install

Pictures a Plenty:

My buddy Lyle welding up the gussets and skids




Shot with some Rustoleum


Installing NutSerts for the PS armor


Test fitting the rockers


Stuff in the paint booth


Detailed the diff covers with a great matching nail polish my girlfriend found


Painted Brawler Rockers - pre Wing Walk application. Blue stuff is putty that protected the counter-sinks from the grit


Wing Walk Compound applied for traction


The putty pulled out perfectly


GenRight tire carrier hinges


One side of the tire carrier installed


Punkin Covers installed


Poison Spyder Evap Skid installed


Cutting the pinch seam


Pinch seam section


Drilling a hole for the motorhome lights with the most awesome drill ever - electro-magnet that attached to the bumper.


A-Pillar gauge and switches installed


Compressor and manifold installed


A-Pillar installed. The fit for the '11 sucked


Motorhome socket installed


Tank installed on rear rollbar. Ran a 3/8" line from the compressor to the tank


Poser shot on the driveway rocks


Poser shot - the turtle is a stainless steel hunk of awesome cut out by my friend. I have a tattoo of the same on my arm.





Thanks for watching!

Thanks all for the kind words. I have been real happy with the progress. There is something real satisfying about making your knuckles bloody working on your own stuff I am also real happy to report that there are no irritating squeaks or rattles
