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?

Fadeout, would you please consider posting up some pics of the tie rod when you're finished. Did you get Currie to address the draglink issues too, or did you purchase some other company's better design?

When I get the Jeep back I will, I had to ditch it in the shop since I had no other means of bringing it home today since I drove my other car there.

As for the draglink I paid the $170 for the upgraded rod, jam nuts, and new boots. They aren't offering a warranty on it and I hate the clamp system THAT much. They didn't ship at the same time so the DL will be here on Fri and hopefully I can get it in then and snap a few shots.

Thanks! I knew how to remove the vent, but didn't know if you could remove trim ring from the housing after it is removed. Unless I found the wrong video and this is possible. I was trying to avoid taping off even thought it is so little...
