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?

Love that Linex but man does it cost. The rear tire carrier has two Rotopax cans mounted to it, seems like the perfect place for them. The stock rock rails were showing wear and a little corrosion so I took them off and had them coated with Linex while they were doing the bumpers. My final addition was to install a Warn Powerplant HD winch and replaced the wire cable with a 3/8 x 100' synthetic line. I want to add a lift, that's just gonna have to wait.
Love the upgrades. That rear bumper is sweet. Going to try to get a good price on it.

Painted, couldn't find anyone with close enough powder coat match, so I just went with a pint of mopar paint.

I just got my sleeves and gussets in. It looks like a really tight fit between the c and spring. Has anyone had problems with the springs hitting the gussets?
