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?

I did change the passenger ball joints today. It was a pain in the a... to do it.

I finally also did the grill mod to protect my intercooler and cooler and I removed the door hinges to sandblast and powedercoat them tomorrow. They've been bubbling for some time now.
The final installation of the CB radio is next.

Stripped off the soft top to get ready for what will be hurricane Isaac. I'm going to put the hard top on tonight. I might as well enjoy a naked Jeep before the storm gets here.

Default This weekend - hitch

Installed a Quadatrec 2" trailer hitch with wiring harness. Man does Jeep make that easy. Between the rear frame crossbar to bolt up to and the plug and play electrical in the tail light, this is so much quicker than other trucks I've done. The Quadratc kit was great too.

Added 2.5LB fire extinguisher to my rear roll bar and moved my flashlight mount to the side rail of my seat. the extinguisher came with a wall brack that helped secure it in place. Added two bungee straps for extra security. Also added EAuto rear bumper & tire carrier...then chopped the stock brake light mount to fit behind it (not pictured).

Recommend you hard mount that fire extinguisher... It will fly loose like that. Drake makes a really nice quick release model that can be mounted with standard hose/pipe clamps you can get from any hardware store. Nice rig.
