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?

That was the longest part of the install and I cleaned axle tubes and pumpkin and checked seals after I had the carrier out. Locker works amazing and is not as bad as everyone says on road while taking tight turns or u turning. Granted, my rig is not my dd and is trailered to parks when I go wheeling. It does not see a lot of road ever, which someone who drives their jeep daily might think differently about it locking when turning. I am very satisfied with it!

Did you have to buy a nutsert tool for the skins or did it come with one? I was looking at those for awhile then decided to go with or-fab skins cause it came with a tool for the nutserts.
Yes I bought one but you don't need it. You can use a wrench, bolt and nut. The tool just made it quicker. I bought a cheap one from harbor freight. It worked great!

Chopped the front fenders. To anyone who has done this, did you fill the gap between the fender liner and body? If so, with what?

Is it easier to clean bugs off of a plastidipped grill or bedlined? I ask because my jeep is my work truck and drive it 1.5 hours plus daily for my round trip.
