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.

My '10 JKU Rubicon w/ lots of AEV stuff & 20's for the haters, lol

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. I really do like the Silver Rigs too, but I am glad I got the Charcoal. I think I've only seen one on the road and 2 at different dealerships. One was a 2 Door Sport and the other was a 4 Door Sahara. I like the Sahara one because of the painted flares.

love the color and the job ya did building it. I think 18's or 20's actually end up looking alot better proportionately when you have 35 or bigger tires. That is of course if its not a pure rock crawler, then ya need all the side wall you can get......anyway, great looking JK.

Thank you. I don't think 20's and 33's would have looked as good, IMO. But, then again if I did 33's I probably wouldn't have done a lift or possibly done less of a lift. I wasn't trying to built a rock crawler but something like an expedition vehicle. Plus, it's my daily driver. Thanks again!

Nice build. I need some sort of reverse light solution. Does the IPF unit have a wide light pattern? Or another way to ask...does one light work just fine?

Hard to answer considering how high and angled the IPF light is sitting. Part of it hits the top of the tire. It does have a hotspot that is probably a little wider then the spare (observation from inside using rearview), but it does cast to the sides pretty good too. I can't imagine not having it now, especially with that big tire blocking even more of my view from the back. I'm sure two would be better than one, but where to put it?

AEV is very tight lipped about new products intil they are actually released. I have heard they have both a High Lift and Jerry can mounting attachments coming out. The only thing I have seen myself is the Rear Mud Guards. I'll be getting them when available. Springtime I'll probably do the Hood/Snorkel & Corner Guards. And, thanks for the compliment!

I'm digging your rig! I think for me it's one of the few exceptions where 20"s look awesome on the JK.

Thanks, and no problem. I'm happy to share (and be able to share). Don't be jealous, have a beer!

Thanks, and yes you're right. I probably just jump in it and drive 500 miles but I'd have to make a lot of stops at gas stations because that Yakima rack has reduced my mileage to like 12-13 city/highway. I could just as easily remove the Yakima rack when not in use to get that mileage back up.
