Notices
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?

I haven't posted lately, so here is what I've been up to. On Saturday, April 30th, my Sahara Unlimited burned to the ground . I will post some pics eventually. Later the following week, I placed a deposit on a 2008 Rubicon Unlimited. It is pretty much stock, so I have a long list of things to do... I'm currently cleaning up the front bumper from my old jeep (ARB slightly modified) to reinstall it on my new Rubicon. I have to take it to be re-line-x'd, hopefully on Thursday or Friday. I also removed the rear bumper from my old jeep (Rampage slightly modified) and it is waiting to be installed. I removed the window visors, and door entry guards too. They are also ready and waiting to be installed. The HID FX-R retrofit I had on the old jeep was a complete loss (over $500 dollars down the hole). So today, UPS will be delivering my new HID Morimoto H1 retrofit kit. I fly to Baltimore on Wednesday to pick up the Rubicon, so I will probably be spending the next few weekends getting my new ride back to the place where my old ride left off. Oh yeah, I also ordered a 2.5" RC suspension lift and some new slush mats. They should be here next week sometime. And I'm adding LED turn signals and side markers. I also plan to paint the wheels and add some stickers as well. I've got a lot going on thanks to an untimely fire and the generosity of my insurance company!

I remember you talking about the fire... At least you were able to a Rubi and keep some of the old mods (already paid for)... Looking forward to pics of the new project Rubi.....

Well, sorry for your loss but it at least sounds like you're going to make out pretty good. Congrats on the new Rubi!!
