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.

so today I lowered my jeep...

Default so today I lowered my jeep...

and got rid of the factory rake...









...with 1200lbs of paver stones and an 80lb bag of sand

I went to the lumber yard and picked up some pavers and sand for a small project and didn't realize until after loading it up that it was sitting so low in the back. Home was only a few mins away and I made sure to drive extra slow and avoid any bumps, got home and noticed some slight rubbing on the fenders/tires :(

I quickly unloaded then calculated the weight of the pavers and sand, 1280lbs. It didn't take too long to load up the pavers so I didn't realize it was that heavy lol.
