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.

Sounds like a nice list. If you don't mom me asking, how much did you pay? I keep trying to get my wife interested in one but so far it hasn't worked.

The only things i've done so far are the TrekTop, Grabars, and Headlights. I installed anti flicker harnesses in there as well.

Here is my 14' Dragon Edition.. I peeled off the dragons body but left the head on the hood. Looks much more sleek.
PRO COMP Lift & PRO COMP Xtreme 35's.
Love her Definitely breaks decks down here in South Florida. Bought her June 7th and just hit 4k miles today. Alot of offroading and family trips in Florida.

I am embracing the Dragon edition wheels and interior.. If I do too much aftermarket exterior.. just would look like most other modded JKs IMO.

Thanks for the share! Your Dragon looks sweet! Looks like the one that Jeep was actually advertising with the lift and taller/more aggressive rubber. (I think the advertising also has it outfitted with JW Speaker LED Headlights). I hear ya about moving too far from stock. I debated with myself a long time on this. In the end though, the only things pointing to Dragon Edition will be the decal and the seats.

Default Got the slider steps on and lights in

Originally got JW Speaker TS3000Rs for the bumper lights but the extra wide base on the lights meant some fabrication of the bumper that I didn't have the patience to do. So I sent the lights back and bought a set of PIAA 520s and then got a pair of LED H3 bulbs to put in the PIAAs (also saved myself 800 bucks! lol!). Hopefully this'll keep the voltage low enough that I can use the stock fog light switch without the canbus erroring out...
