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?

Well nothing phiscal, but ordered an Aussie locker for my front with spicer upgraded u-joints. Will be installing Saturday morning and will post pics when I'm done.

-Does anyone have this locker with factory axle shafts? I upgraded the u-joints bc they will fail first, but not able to order axle shafts until later on. I plan to so some crawling in the next 2 weeks and don't want to break the factory shafts in the meantime...

I'm running 33's and 35's BTW.

Not all states allow true bead locks for highway/road use.

Certainly ridiculous as far as I know, because that is exactly what the bead lock is there for!

I seriously doubt their making it up because five ATX Slabs is a pretty decent sale $ wise

They're not allowed in PA either. It's because they are not DoT approved from what I understand. That doesn't mean they are dangerous or worse. it just means they're for off road use and have never been DoT tested. From what I've heard they're better than that anyhow and most mechanics ignore this problem.

Both times there was substantial damage to the other persons car

My JK bumpers had big dimples from minor bumping into things out on the trails

Here is my new front bumper...

Here is the back bumper/tire carrier

Both are from Ace Manufacturing the front is the mid width and the back is the pro line.
Those are nice choices!
