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.

I would love to see a turbo matched to the 3.8L, does anyone make a kit currently or will you do all of the plumbing from scratch? Maybe get one of those new BMW twin turbos for it.

finished welding up the rear 1/4 and put on the not so dented new used hood.
and i think i may go with some narrow tube fenders, it looks way to tuff without fenders.

they act like offroad skis slide up and down rocks pretty well ... they can take a real beating ... very very easy to put on any full frame truck making putting these beast axles in possible without too much hassle ... and the number one reason is ! you can call it the rambo truck afterwards cause any time and every time you drive it, it is rambo time ! even a small set of train tracks is a adventure to the passengers why i love my YJ ... i need a bumper sticker that says "its rambo time"

this thing is looking great! nice work on the leaf spring mounts. they look great.

as for the motor drop a CUMMINGS in that rig. with some 5" exhaust it would be even more of a monster than it is now.

can't wait to see some more pics.
