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.

Very impressive how it came together...have to say the kit looked a lot easier than it actually turned out to be from the build. Do you have the spec list of parts that when into this build that you can share. See some pretty interested components which I'm sure are mostly your products but wanted to see the overall list of mfg parts that went into your build. Nice seeing how Jeeps can evolve into trucks!

I will try and remember all involved in this build. Most of this has been done and redone at Off Road Evolution.
Starting on the front our RockGEAR bumper and a Warn Powerplant, before using a Powerplant I really didn't have an opinion one way or another, because on my personal Jeep ( a built YJ) I had access to an air tank, ARB, and a little compact compressor that I used. But now I have winch envy.

The hood is from AEV and the fenders are from Bushwacker.
The front axle is a Pro Rock 44 with 5.13's ARB and RCV's. It originally had chromo's but we snapped them. It has our diff cover and our LCA skids. just an FYI the Dynatrac housing is different from the stock and our LCA skids work optimally on the stock axle housing.
We are also using the PSC steering assist, I don't know which one the DD or the "Extreme" one. We got bound up on a trail and trying to turn the tires snapped the sector shaft. That sucks.
We use our JK!

Stock transfer case, I am used to lower gears in the t-case.
Our oil pan, on since 2007 and hasn't fallen off.

On the inside pretty straight forward, but we are using MasterCraft Baja RS seats, these seats are awesome. I have driven 5+ hours on the highway with them and I really love them. Some people complain about getting in/out because they have a nice hip bolster, but again these seats are great.

Under it we are using our Long Arm system, great on the rode, amazing off road. Not squeaky either on/off road.
We originally were running our RS9000XL front/rear but just switched to our RS7000MT, our new mono tube. It took about a day to get used the the RS7000 compared to the RS9000XL, because we always had the 9000's on a real soft setting. The RS7000 is a firmer ride, and amazing on the highway in curves and great off road.
We are using our sister company DynoMax "rock crawler" exhaust that relocates the muffler under the driver seat because of the rear suspension try link design. No need to relocate the EVAP skid.
Our rockGEAR sliders too and our new rear tire cover.

The rear axle is a stock 44 stuffed with Superior shafts, 5.13's and an ARB. Our diff cover again.
Rear bumper is ours as well.
The tires were BFG Krawler, the competition mold. STICKY and awesome off road. A bit loud on road. They were on 37/12.50/17" on Raceline headlocks. I am not too sure now though. They look to be the same tire/wheel combo.

I think that covers it. Thanks for letting us brag a bit.

Default Hey truck boy

Matt, after two JK Experiences wheeling with you I still can't believe the company allows you to hit trails in that rig without a guidance from a superior. Just kidding, you are the man and have an even cooler rig than before. Happy for you brother
