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?

Default New Coils

I got a set of takeoff coils from a great fellow forum member Mako159.

I had 14's and 55's. Mako159 sold me his 16 and 57 coils off his 4dr for almost nothing. (big thanks).

It gave me an inch of lift front and back (I am already running a 3/4 inch spacer/leveler in the front).

I painted them red because everyone knows red springs increase your fuel mileage by 10% !

That's true, but yellow gives you 5% more HP.

So orange is obviously the best possible colour!

Replaced the rear brakes at 32000. The front still looked like new.

I asked my JK to carrier more than it should. The cargo area was to the roof as well.

Painted my axles, control arms, sway and trackbars, and driveshafts today with Rustoleum Hammered paint. Turned out pretty good...

I cut mine off to make it flow with the body a little better. I thought about buying the stubby ends but I'm happy I cut it. Saved myself 60 bucks too
