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.

You can't please everyone, I thought it was good. When it warms up (and I get one) we have to go find some deep $h!t to make everyone happy.

Hey Kenny , I never got a sticker. I was only kidding about the 10% off!! I better get some when I make that purchase.

Nice vid!

I wouldn't mind having one of these, but it seems a llittle $$$ to me. Maybe I'm just a tight ass!! It's way cheaper than a new engine!!!


Has anybody tried to come up with an elec. fan disable switch? I don't wanna trash my rad if I get in some deep stuff. I haven't really looked at how it's wired. It's probably simple, but you never know with all the electrical crap on new vehicles.


Riverraider, you guys may want to look into this and sell this as a package deal with the snorkle.

It sure looked deep in person!

if you look at these 2 pics of my jeep the water DOES go over my hood....take a look at the bigger one and you can see the water on top of my fender flare, that is right where the intake is inside the hood, and I didnt have to worry about the water getting in....yes if I went slowww the water wouldnt have been right there, but I knew how deep it was and that I could go faster then a crawl because I had the snorkel....the video doent show the 1st time I went thru that those 2 pics are from...the video is my 2nd time thru it

all I know is there is no way anyone who watched without a snorkel would go through it...

any of you who think you could go through it safely like I did without a snorkel are fooling yourselves....having a snorkel isnt just so you can go thru water that is deeper then your hood....the 1st time I went wheelin with my rubi stock I got mud inside my air box and none of the holes I went thru were deep as that one was...now I dont have to worry about that

Thats right. and we opened Will's air box becouse the snorkel intake was muddy and the filter looked brand new...
