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?

What got you the most mpg's - the intake or the exhaust? Looking to get a few more miles out of my new JK so I can start putting some money into mods.

Did you notice a difference? I did, more in throttle response than horsepower. I also added the AEV snorkel at the same time, so I got ram air along with the spacer.

Made my own rock sliders, only costed me $36 for a 20ft stick of the square tubing. I had the welder and the tools, I also got the 1/4" plates I used for the gussets on the factory brackets from my work. Measured, cut, welded it, then painted myself using rustoleum satin black textured. I kno my welds will hold so if the slider folds at least I have the psc rocker skins to help protect the body. What do you all think about them.

Thank you very much. It was some hard work to put the square tubing onto the rounded, curved rubi rail but its not too bad. If u have the.money to get a welder, it really isn't that hard to weld. There are plenty of instructional videos on YouTube on how to weld. The welder I used is a Hobart 140 from northern tool for $499 and bought a tank of 75%argon 25% co2 from my local welding shop for $175 and its only $30 to refill it and lasts a long time. I welded my sleeves and gussets and lower ca skids and my rock sliders and still have 1/4 of a tank of gas left
