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.

The body off went pretty good.
Looks like your approach to doing the swap with the body off makes the process a lot easier....Cant wait to see the final project...Best of luck and thanks for keeping us posted...What trans are you using? Thanks...
