Notices
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?

Installed my new RoughCountry 9500 winch and Hybrid Stubby Bumper last night. It took me just at five hours. The hardest part was cutting off the evap canister bracket; tight quarters. I tested it out this morning on a tree that I dropped a while back that landed in another tree. It pulled it down like a charm.
The only complaint I have is that the washers that came with the D-rings are too small to fit on the shaft, and are totally unusable. I'll have to give them a call to see if they can remedy the situation. Other than that I am pleased.
I suppose I'll have to go get stuck in the mud now so that I can give it a real test.

ACE Rear Bumper

1.5" Spidertrax wheel spacers, ACE Wide tubular fenders w/stock GY MTR's (I'm going to install 35's and a FT 3" lift later this summer)

Hand-jamming isn't so bad with the proper tools (breaker bar, torque wrench etc).

Thanks to WOL for the write-up, ACE Engineering for the change (Gen2) on the tire carrier, and also to Northridge 4x4 for the decals!
So are you happy with the rear bumper? Is it bulky or does it fit nice and clean? Looks good from the pics . Heard it was super heavy though ? Notice any sag in the rear end?

Relocated my vacuum canister from the front bumper to right next to the brake reservoir. Had it next to the windshield washer reservoir, but had to move it to make room for The Source

Removed the silver bumper applique from both the front and rear bumpers. Last weekend I added the Smittybilt G.E.A.R. front seat covers and tailgate cover.
