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?

They don't make the greatest step, but the little lady uses them as one. As far as install went after paint was dry it took me and the Misses about an hour forty five to mount!

If outside, how do you keep the lens clean? For what I see on my windshield, headlights, etc the lens would go dirt in no time. I solved this by mounting a normal point-and-shoot on the eDock behind the windshield. But it's not so cool as having the camera outside.
Usually people mount them outside.
I'm probably going to try different spots like the bumper, sliders, etc. It has a fully waterproof case, so I'll probably just check it occasionally to see if it's dirty. I think the WOL videos are all shot with gopro.

Thanks

What do you guys think?

Intakes or aftermarket air filters are definitely worth the upgrade. It is a simple concept - more smooth, colder air in and more, better exhaust out. Better than stock setup.

Your choice and research is best for deciding. I like Airaid.

You will have no issues with an intake, as long as you don't swamp the front end. Run a pre-filter and keep it clean. I only clean my air filter once every 2 to 3 years.
