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.

Wow, how quickly I forget. I bought it from Quadratec, about $99. I've only had it on for a day. Yes, I like it. That two inches made a big difference with 37's. The pros are obvious, for the cons, the frame is more visible, there is now a gap between the bumper and body. I don't care, it's a 4x4, not a show room car. There is a kit available to fill the gap, as for the frame exposer, rock rails will hide it nicely.

Maybe I'm crazy but the suspension seems less stiff. As for safety, IDK, the center of gravity is now higher, so the wind can easily push me around.

After installing the big wheel and skyjacker lift, I learned there is no real important reason to really speed. 55-60 to 65 mph is safe, better on gas mileage, and since know matter where I go. People always stop and notice it coming, you can't miss it, that being said I don't need the attention from the police.

Yeah I wanna put them on my bumper/grill. I was trying to see if the price difference was worth it. Thanks for the info.

Gil well when I first sprayed it with two heavy coats then let it full dry. Right when I'm about to put the housing in I hold the headlight in the correct location then gently add the housing. It was very tedious to mod but it came out fine. If you feel it peels off all the time. Spray some clear coat outdoor paint. That's what I did to my rims. I plasti-dip them with 3 coats then sprayed 2 coats of clear paint and they came out sweet. Hope that helps brotha

Oh you painted it off the car and off the actual light? I was trying to do the whole thing on the car...that might have been my problem! Thanks for the tips man
