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?

How much smoother are the 2.0's did it make your ride a lot nicer? I am debating switching my 5100's for these or elkas

Very much so. Smoother ride all around, especially over hard/rough bumps. I live on a long washboard dirt road in the woods, I can fly smooth now with the fox 2.0 res. The biggest noticeable improvement is hitting the hard jolting terrain/ pot holes. Not a huge noticeable difference on avg road light bumps. The Elkas are even nicer though, I'd go with those if I could afford em.

Poison Spyder evap skid. Great skid... Install is a pieceofcake except for the drivers side front frame bolt... What a pita to get in, as the skid access is narrow... But persistance pays off! Now, with theevap andmy oil pad skid on, the ole rubi is finally fully protected.

Looking good! It's amazing what 2" can do to a factory jeep.

Thank you. The lift, the larger tires, the aggressive looking stance it now has. This is what a Wrangler should look like right out of the factory.
I just hope to add to the inspiration I've gotten here since I joined. All the pics, advice and stories helped me decide on how to proceed with my "upgrades".

Here in Maine, we just had a new Off Road Truck Park open up since the summer. I am dying to get out there and have some fun. If interested it's called "Wicked Hills Park" near China, ME. Wicked Hills - Off Road Truck Park, 4x4 Off Roading Trails in Maine I'm not affiliated, I just want them to have lots of business so they'll stay in business. See you there
