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.

What was done to your JK this week?

Changed my diff fluid front and rear...put in Royal Purple. Damn that stuff is expensive. Was super easy and glad I didn't let the dealership rip me off to have them do it. The only this is that the rear diff seems to be very slowly leaking at what appears to be where the cover seals to the diff housing. It never leaked before, and I did the simple fluid change by just draining and re-filling...not the full change where the covers are removed. So, I really don't know why it would be leaking now. Is the Royal Purple a thinner gear oil than the factory oil? The only other possible thing I can think of is that it's excess break cleaner mixed with the oil that got caught in the diff skid, which I wasn't able to get completely clean. I can tell is't not leaking out of the drain or fill plugs as they're totally dry and I torqued each to 25 ft lb.

Any ideas?

Installed the hood mounts for the Hi-Lift Jack. Sorry no pics, it's dark out now. True thoughts from the project...

Rather easy and simple to do, Instructions were pretty good considering you have a whole 6 bolts that can not be put in the wrong place. First mounted jack with base to the left, didn't like it so went back and mounted to the right and it doesn't bother me. With the base on the left it covers the small car area for parking lots. When mounted to the right side it makes no difference due to the angle you look out. Besides if i run over a Honda with that side I will blame the wife, she was on that side spotting.

So, I already posted what I did this week (TF 2.5 BB and spidertrax 1.5 spacers) but here is a picture... it's getting there.

My futile attempt to stop a spare tire rattle. (I have a feeling it's the hinges and not just the tire movement)
