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?

Because most of us would take it off and throw it away anyway.

I am sure if you had the part number you could order it from your local dealer.

Its funny we want the parts we dont have and hate the parts we do. You know if it were switched around as to where we had the euro stuff we would want the american stuff. JEEP = NEVER SATISFIED WITH STOCK.

Funny though that everyone thought the bumpers were aftermarket. Look at the location of the poster, should give you a heads up for asking funny questions.

EDIT: Oh yeah the plates kind of give it away as well.

Welded on the ORE C2 gussets and the LCA skids/braces. Looks like both mods are well worthwhile. The axles C's are certainly well braced.

Used my New Hobart Handler 210 MIG welder. I did the easy ones but a buddy with 24 years as a commercial welder did the vertical welds. He liked the welder so much he bought one on his way home for his garage. He said it welded better than the big Lincoln MIG machines at his employers.

As much as i kinda like the look, and the light location would make pretty awesome reverse lights, I would have blown those lenses out of there 3 or 4 times already.

DON'T !!!

Our Euro bumpers suck big time! Front eats up a lot of your approach angle and rear has the stinky 'lip' for the license plate hanging down and scrapes on the obstacles !!!

For Happy... those are rear fog lights and reflectors. Not sure 'bout making reverse lights there as they're slightly pointed outwards...
