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?

Added the Mopar fuel door and the Hidden Hitch wiring kit. As I was adding the wiring kit, I noticed that I had corked the hitch with mud so I started digging it out. There was a lot more than I expected!

Fuel door:



And the mud cork:

Default Put on the JK & Midwest decals today

It got up to almost 60 degrees in Wichita today - it was as good a time as any to get the "X" decal removed and put in place the new JK and Midwest decals.
Thought I'd post a few pics of the end result....

Well, I just got mine and did the following:

- Mopar Steel Bumper upon arrival to dealership
- ALLGIG (installed 60 minutes after ownership) with mic
- Removed Decals: "Wrangler" "Unlimited"
- Removed: Trail Rated (felt it was redundant!)
- Waxed it while watching a movie on MYGIG
(went to bed at 1am)
- Installed Mag Light to seat side
- Installed Fire Extinguisher
- Installed cargo net from KJ
- Drilled outside mirrors
- Warn shackle in receiver
- Tinted front windows
- Installed garage door opener in A pilar
- Installed rear grab handles (from Project KJ forum write up - VERY NICE MOD!)
- Test fitted Thule racks
- Removed roof panels, roof, and convertible top (during snow storm)
- Drove in back yard in snow testing lockers and 4:1 transfer case!

Ran back inside and posted pics!

Pics:







I'll have to post pics of the A pillar mod.

You know I would not even put a decal on my JK like that because of damage that could occur. Do you know what I mean?

What I did today? Removed a perfectly good Rough Country 2.5" progressive spring lift with the 2.2 shocks and installed a Rough Country 2.5" budget boost with shock extenders. Some peoples children.

Thanks guys. It took me about 3 hours, but I'm mechanically challenged sometimes. Should be a rather easy mod...
