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?

Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know how much the ARB bumper weighs?

That ARB looks AWESOME. I feel your pain with the hard top. Mine has not been off yet. I can't wait to take it off next spring. I mounted my fairlead. Discovered that I don't have all of the mounting hardware for my 9.5XP. Don't ever transfer winches between vehicles. Just buy a new winch with the new vehicle. Pics will follow when I'm done.

Not sure wasnt overly heavy could be lifted by one person.

I switched to my soft top for the first time as well & loving it!! As you guys in the US are putting away your soft tops we down here are getting them out.

You sell your stock Aussie bumper? I bet you could sell it quick over here, although shipping would be crazy. I think the stock one looks better then ours. The ARB looks awesome too. You get better prices for ARB stuff down there?

The main reason I got the ARB is because our stock bumper IMO sucks!! Its a long and ugly blob of plastic!! Not sure what Ill do with the stock bumper if anyone wants it send me a PM.

Nah we pay more for ARB stuff here.. Go figure I buy direct from the manufacturer in the country its made and I pay $1400AUD you guys can get it for $1000AUD !!!! Its very unAustralian I got angry to ARB on the phone they didn't seem to care. Almost worth shipping from the US but too many hassles for the sake of $400.

Easily over a grand. I would say 5-6 hours of labor to take it all out/put it all in.
