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?

Yea I know. Spoke to David before getting anything. He said I pay 189$ plus shipping and they send me a new bar.. Get a 189$ refund once currie get it back.. My issue was the joints were bad, and I would've had to buy a new tie rod clamp for my ram, and I still needed new ends, and those expensive washers to prevent rotation. Couldn't see wasting all that money when all I need was the end cartridges and the 17$ washers, which are a piece.
I've lost all hope in currie after dealing with these issues more than once. If I did it again I WOULD NOT buy this currie setup.
Did u see the whole setup is now over 1000$!
And those big foam disks I can't see lasting to long rubbing on the knuckle as steering is cycled.

The setup I have is made by currie. It's not stock at all. Totally different.. U can get heavier duty Moog ends to use on the stock ends, but two ends are part of the bar and not serviceable.
Rock krawler makes a great setup! after all the issues I've had with my currie stuff, I would not recommend them.

Quick questions, if someone could help me it would be great:

1) when you put 2 driving lights (Hella 700FF 55 watts / 7.5" diameter) on the front bumper, to have the best lightning is there a specific space needed between them?

2) does someone have a picture of a deep water blue wrangler with a roof light bar??

Thanks

Ripped off my crappy OEM plastic rear bumper. Can't believe how light that thing was. What a joke. I cleaned up the frame rails.... Looks great IMHO.

Yup left one Hell of a bad taste in my mouth. I have the discs and they've actually held up better than I thought. And that setup is worth maybe a 1/4 of that price. They burnt people on this system and no one that bought it is gonna forget. Makes me wonder how good there RockJocks really are....

Yes, that's what I was thinking about.....except for the height, my wife would kill me.

Thanks a lot.

Any idea about my first question?
