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.

New pair of Riddlers!

Default New pair of Riddlers!

UPS stopped by today and dropped off my new Riddlers! Some primer and paint and they are ready for install.



I hope to get them installed this weekend.

Been looking at these pretty hard my self. Can't wait for tax time to get next round of mods ordered. Post installed pics when done.

Half way done. Pretty straight forward on the front. Took some time to touch up the scrapes and gouges in the front bumper and skids.
One observation - HOLY COW the diff oil stinks!!! It's factory with only 1500 miles but WOW! The new oil smelled no where near that bad.
I'll post some after pics in a bit

And done.

I went with the write up elsewhere on here and used 2.3 quarts rear and 1.7 in the front. That worked out to right about at the eyes in the skull on the cover. The guy at the parts store told me to fill them to the fill hole but Im thinking he was just trying to ring up another bottle of oil.

Seems weird not filling it and the "users guide" doesnt specify a capacity (thanks Chrysler) but judging from what I drained, the amounts above seem about right.





It's a shame these wont be seen most of the time, but then again they are for protection. Some day a couple inches of lift will help show them off.

Side note, that mud just wont wash off!!! Zbart undercoated it and now the mud sticks terribly!!! What you see is after a power washing, and a run through a car wash with underbody wash.... not overly concerned but dang!
