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.

RK does not provide these bolts with their kit. I upgraded from the 2.5 to the 3.5 and just went to Fastenal and picked up several of these self-tapping bolts. Good thing I bought more than two. I had one snap the head off as I was threading it in with cutting oil. Luckily, I had enough exposed thread to get a set of locking pliers and unbolt it out of the hole.
