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?

New windshield after a stone to the high passenger side... started to spider across the middle.

Just sanded the shit out of it with 120 grit and then cleaned with acetone to remove any grease or wax. I think it will be fine considering the fuel door doesn't exactly get beat up.

Yes, I have manual transmission with the stock gearing. I put 35s on a month or so ago and noticed a decrease in power. My 6th gear is totally useless. Before the intake install, I was driving around town only in first thru third - with the intake installed I have use of 4th again around town – fifth has become my overdrive. Now I'm thinking about changing the exhaust to see if that will also help. Just not ready to pull the trigger on re-gearing yet.

Put a evap canister skid on so it won't get knocked off when we go to Superlift in September.
