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?

Kept her under 70 in all my holiday travels and averaged 17mpg with 37's and stock 4.10's with a 6spd. Couldn't be happier!

I enlarged the holes a bit and it's better but I need to do a bit more before they get my final approval.

I had done the zip-tie mod which was fine to control flutter but I want a bit more security.

Thanks for all your help, more than once yesterday I brought up your album to consult for pics. Ever up this way, I'll buy you a few
Jeep looks GOOD!!! Congrats and enjoy!

That's what I did with my antenna; remove the ball, cut at 12", put the ball back on with epoxi and finally 3 coats of black spray paint and after 1.5 still look great. The reception is excellent under the rain, freezing snow and even far from the city.

Welcome to the club, it's not a ding it's a scar

Installed my JKS Quick Disconnects and gave the Jeep a good washing inside and out.
