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?

Last weekend I changed out the front track bar and lower control bolts. Today I did the six rear.

Driving this week with the front chaged out I thought it felt a little tighter.

We will see with the rear also replaced.

@ 53,000 miles...
Replaced the rear brake pads and discs. E-brake shoes still good.
Replaced the spark plugs. They were still at 0.050", and looked good. Installed new ones, anyway.
The right rear was no harder to get to than the others on that side.

Thanks to forum member Mike Davis for assisting, and providing some useful suggestions. He had recently done the same two tasks.

Yup that teraflex lift also gave me about five inches of lift which is why it's in the top hole...

went back and double checked it's to within an 1/8 of an inch using the parking lot and pole with measuring tape method. Close enough for me.. made me paranoid there for a second.

Ill take a picture of that as well....for now here's a pic of the actual lights
