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?

It came that way. There was a company called Moab industries that modified jeeps for the dealers. As far as I can tell its a rough country lift with painted parts and stickers.

finally got around to installing the OBA in the back of the JK. Had a custom hatch made from T&M Metal Works out here in Vegas and I would recommend anything that you need metal wise to go to these guys. I will be returning to them to have a custom under belly skid plate and sliders and steps made. Here are some pics of the final instal and a proper use for the "hidden" storage in the back of the JK

compart looks a little messy so we ended up taking out the pump adding some fatmat and then reinstalling the unit and re routing the wires plus left some cargo space for the air hose and impact gun. WHO NEEDS TO WORK HARD WHEN CHANGING TIRES.... LOL

Both ways look good. The only thing is that you will have to clean the inside often, because all kind of stuff get stuck in there (leaves...).

It did make allot of noise at first but then we took everything out and apply some fatmat to the capartment and the metal hatch and now it sounds solid. There is a little rumble but with the radio on it is not noticeable. But still way quieter then the crapy viar compressor that came with the kit. Also you can run this compressor all day at 200psi and it will not over heat. Has a built in fan. Got some advice from the bus driver that help me pick out this unit. Air zeinth compressor is the way to go. Fills up the 2.5 gallon tank to 160psi in less then 10 mins.
