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.

Default Outback Challenge JK

Earlier this year we completed work on a JK built to compete in the Australian Outback Challenge.

Well the vehicle completed the race and is now back at our shop for a full race prep, EVOLever install and possible Hemi swap.

This was one of our R&D vehicles for our JK Front Coilover system with airbumps. We used this vehicle to test the system in the roughest conditions and high speed events.

We will update this thread as the project progresses.

Here are some photos as it is now and some of it competing.

Default Let there be light

Many interesting items on that JK. What about that top lightbar system. Is that a protype of yours or an off-the-shelf setup? That thing should help fight back the darkness.

I know I was looking at doing something similar. I spoke with KMA to see about modifying their lightbar to be used with the Baja Designs modular lightbar and that would be really similar to what they are running. It looks like ORE used the front of the Wild Boar rack.

Great looking Jeep. I sure would like to know more about those aftermarket parts that I've never seen before. Any chance of getting a list?

I saw another write up on this vehicle at JPFreek, and that thing is bada$$! I believe the custom soft top is by Viking.
