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?

Yeah, I guess I picked the wrong pic I just looked at the bend in the stock arm and matched up what way looked best. Does make more sense that the swivel end be on the axle. I begining to wonder if I'll ever put something on right the first time It doesn't seem like the way I have them will hurt anything except maybe a little flex. I have every thing dialed in right now at +6 degrees of caster and the arms are at 23 1/4 inches. My toe is perfect and wheel centered, no esp on clover leafs anymore. I don't wanna mess that up by switching them right now I dunno, will call northridge tomorrow and see if it makes a safety or strength difference.

Same here I have everything dialed in perfect and centered. Its a lot of work to continually go under there unbolt and rebolt everything to get it where you want. Let us know what you come up with because it may not be a bad way to mount them. Reply when you find out. Thnaks.

Will do Loadmaster! Congrats on the new arms. Seems like your kinda like me, only changing the minimal amount of parts to get your rig to function better. Or as my wife would say " as the money comes along". Course, I kinda just like the idea of spending time working on and improving my JK, kinda like meditating I guess.

I agree, I just didnt do the fenders. Our suspensions are very similar. I will be using some spacers up front to eventually level it. I have been watching your build as well while working on mine.
