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?

Update on what I did this week to my JKU. I broke it!

Took me all of 48 hours to break something. Got her back on Thursday and kept her in the garage all Friday. Our Jeep club did the monthly group run on Saturday in Richmond, NH (great turnout, 19 Jeeps!). Within 4 hours, I apparently did something to my brake line in the left rear wheel well. One of the other guys noticed that the line appeared to have been caught on something (my new spring??) and snagged it. Our club president did "field triage" with some zip ties to lock it into place until I can get it replaced at Elias 4x4. Been told that it was only minor field damage. I am two for two getting trail damage. Last month, ripped off the rubber boot on front driveshaft and replaced it with a new Tom Woods DS. This month, brake line. They say things come in threes so what does next month hold?

Laid underneath with the hose for almost 30 minutes spraying everything.

what kind of half ass workmanship is this on jeeps part? and half ass work on a 25k vehicle. hell, fords cheapest model is at least made correctly

worried about what else they missed when painting it.

They do put the hinges on and then paint them, all the JK's I'ver ever taken the hinges off or have helped with have been bare metal or primer. It's pathetic.

another bad spot is the inside of the doors close to the hinges and behind the spare tire carrier.

Bed-Lined my rusty seat brackets. Hopefully this will last for a while...at least longer than the one winter the factory paint did.

Wow, what a difference. I have noticed that mine are starting to get rusty as well. I guess all of the road salt in the winter takes it's toll. I might have to do the same
