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 HEMI swap into my '07 Sahara...

And it was there that he laid down for the last time in his life. So when my wife decided to throw the rug out, of course I said no way and so that is how the rug ended up in my Shop, where hopefully it will always remain… So that is the rest of the story.
Ben, that is an awesome memorial to Romeo, I hope your rug is around for many years to come. I have a yellow lab and two boxers (one named Romeo). You've got a great start to your Hemi, good luck on the rest of it.

Gerry,
Yes I got a packaged today and UPS says that they have more for me on Friday. Right now, we are kinda on hold because we will be at the Rolex 24 Hour Race this weekend here in Daytona but once the rest of the parts get here, next week we should be able to make lots of headway... Thanks for all of your support and advice. This is going to be sooooooooooooo cool!!!
