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.

The reason it took so long is that I am leasing the Jeep. And I figured I likely shouldn't mod a leased Jeep. But after seeing all the bad ass modified Jeeps on this site, I decided to just do it. I may have to return it to stock in another 20 months, or I may just keep it.

$100 for 1.5'' back spacers, i didn't get thrm on the front

I got that stuff from Northridge 4x4, free shipping.

I got the tires free. They are used and don't have much life left in them. The spare is brand new though. It cost $80 to mount and balance the five tires.

I installed the lift myself. I'm not that tool savy, and it lkely took me longer than most, but it was alright. A good beginner project.

yes 39 months would be a long time to have a stock jeep. I have owned my jeep for seven months, and I have changed a lot of things, I don't know if I'm still going to have it for the next 32 months. my point is you at least know how long you'll have yours. so why not make it your own

Technically I signed a paper with my lease that says I will only install Mopar parts and only have service by authorized Mopar service centers. I guess I'm past that now.

I only have 7500 miles on the JK. I travel alot for work and haven't got to drive it as much as I'd like to.

Why no spacers for the front?

The Teraflex write-up on Project JK said that I need the spacers for the back with the TFlex lift. I don't need them on the front.
