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?

For ride, I was actually quite surprised; I wasn't expecting it to be any different, but it really has a noticeable improvement. Steering and ride feels very, very, solid. Barring of course that perhaps I was just due for some alignment and adjustments beforehand though. For the trackbar mount, was a weld on bracket, I believe synergy. For the hub, still essentially stock setup, though used a set of new timken hub/bearings as they were readily available.

Sprang forward. My signal to put the hardtop to bed and put the Trektop back on. Also reinstalled my Tuffy security enclosure for when I take off the back windows.

Checked the fluids and added some hose clamps to my rear axles to retain the bottom of my coils in correlation with my teraflex spring retainer kit that's being shipped.

Yep, I also did the Home Depot grill mod. Looks just as good as the $200 grills for a fraction of the cost.

Default Grille insert

Just installed grille insert on my '12 rubicon. Went with the Metalcrafters black chrome inserts. A little pricey but very good quality.
