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?

By the windshield wipers, there are 2 torx screws on each side of the middle cowl.

Default Doorless Mirror Mod under $20

I mounted a $15 mountain bike mirror on a 3/8" threaded rod.

Here are pics.

You can see the joint that I removed with Allen Wrench. Simply increased the pre-drilled hole with 5/16th drill bit. Inserted 3/8" threaded rod into the drilled holes. Used 4 nuts at the top and 2 in the door hinge hole. This mirror is specifically designed for mountain biking so it does not move at highway speeds or on heavy bumps. Had it at 70mph and it didn't move. Works very well.

Finally got my rims back from the powder coating shop and finished up the grab handles. Woo hoo! Just glad to be able to go for a drive again even though it's too damn hot.

Finished my Atlas install, installed a dash mounted CO2 pressure gauge, mounted my pneumatic toggle switches, and plumbs all of my new lines for my ARB's.

Default 2 mods, 1 weekend

Did two easy mods!
Found the ball cock shank washers and fixed my d-rings. Fresh paint and now they hang straight and don't bang

Did the grill mod and it looks fantastic. Used the plastic gutter guard. Turned out great!
