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?

The rear Rubi shocks have an inch longer travel than the Sport shocks.
They are considerably harder to compress by hand too.
Haven't had a chance to try them out yet on the road/trail.

I want to do my front lights this week but I have some ????

This is what I have now, original headlights (with Sylvania super white bulbs?!?) and original fog lights (in the bumper). What's important to me is the $$$...

Set up #1)
- I change my head lights for Trucklite (500$)
- I change my fog lights for Vision X fog replacement kit (400$) or Rigid Industry Duallys fog replacement kit (250$)


Set up #2)
- I keep my original head lights (Sylvania bulb)
- I change my fog lights for Vision X fog replacement kit (400$) or Rigid Industry Duallys fog replacement kit (250$)

* And count on the Vision X or Duallys light (I would chose driving light patern) to do the job to compensate for the poor head lights.


Set up #3)
- I change the head lights for Trucklite (500$)
- I change the bulb of the original bumper fog light from PSX24 watts (yellow light) for the PSX24 watts LED (white light) bulbs (30$ on eBay)

What do you think?

If your willing to spend the cash i'd go trucklite and vision x fogs because it's like any mod if you do the cheap and easy and your still not satisfied, and you probably won't because bulb replacements are barely an upgrade, then you inevitably will spend more money and more time trying to please yourself. If you go the trucklite/vision x then you know what youve done is about as good as it's gonna get.

My own personal opinion: factory headlights and fog lights do what they are supposed to do and don't blind on coming vehicles. Invest ur $$$ in 2 sets of rigid dually d2s. One flood set for bumper height and spot set for "A" pillar mount at base of windshield. Then you be set up for driving and off-roaring. Down the road when you again can splurge look at headlight or fog light upgrades if you think you must.

I disagree. I have a bone-stock lighting setup (2007), and I get flashed as if I had my high beams on by oncoming traffic all the time. With low beams on and without fogs, I can't see a damn thing in front of my jeep. If I turn my fogs on, I can see immediately in front of jeep, but oncoming traffic would be blinded (I get flashed twice as much). And yes, I have re-aimed my headlights, they just have a really poor beam pattern.

This is the worst factory lighting I have ever seen in a vehicle. I will be looking into headlight upgrades asap.
