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.

I've mostly lurked but have learned a ton while being on this site. Wanted to give thanks to all those who have helped. Here's a bit of my progress since November when I bought my JKU.

So I've heard! Still needing to get new shocks, adjustable front track bar and new drag link.

For the drag link, I would recommend the Moog ends. They don't cost much more than stock and they are way better.

I've seen OEM drag links and tie rods bend several times while wheeling. It's a small nuisance when your steering wheel is off-center and you keep getting ESP/TCS lights and having the Jeep shut down the gas pedal and activate brakes because it thinks you're skidding. Recommend replacing with something a bit stronger. Synergy has worked well for me and others I know.

Yup, going with the Synergy drag link and Rock Krawler adjustable front track bar. Then I'll probably spring for the Synergy tie rod.
