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?

Wow, I can't believe what this has turned into...

I work my ass off for everything I have. I grew up a poor white trash kid that didn't have shit. So am I a little jealous of some of these cats...sure. Do I want to be able to do for my little dude what their dads are for them...sure. Am I going to be a dick to them because their lives ended up a little better than mine? Absolutely not. Get a effin life you pricks. Appreciate what you gave and work hard for what you don't, but don't take out your insecurity on people that happen to enjoy what they can afford.

Love your ride Ludski...keep it real and remember that the $$ is nice, but people will hate or try to use you. Eff em...

Oh, and I hate you...lmao...wtf?

After all of that I went up almost 4" in the front and about 4" in the back. It sits level now and looks a lot better. Ill try to upload a couple of photos. It was getting dark so the other photos didn't come out and it's starting rain. More next weekend.
I love the stance! I just ordered the same lift and was wondering if you had any issues with the install I should be aware of?

That's a marine gps receiver... About $2,500-$2,800 depending on the site you choose. (google)

In the kit instructions they give you self tapping hardware, torque to 30 Foot pounds, to retain the front bump stops. I never got to 30 before one stripped out. So I just put through hardware with locknuts and it torqued better and I think it will last longer as well. There were a couple of minor hardware sizing/missing issues but nothing major, just check your kit really well when you get it, especially the hardware for the rear bump stops. Make sure you remove the brake line brackets when you drop the axles, it'll give you the drop you need to install the spacers, then put them back of course. On the rear they must have new improved the parts because the spacers now have the groove for the coil spring already in them, so I didn't reinstall the original rubber piece back in, if you doyou'll probably get another half inch of lift. I did it by myself at home in the garage and it took about five hours. Let me know if you have any other questions.

It seems cheaper to run the maps on a UMPC. Right now I am doing a research on this. It seems the National Geographic maps would work, according to them.

Got the Teraflex 1.5 leveling kit installed!
It's amazing what just a few inches does to the ride. I actually felt like I was leaning forward with the rake, now it feels so much better. Now I just gotta decide on which 33's to get, the BFG all terrains or the DuraTracs?.........
