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?

Or just turn that into a reason to buy headers.

Look what the UPS guy brought me today!!!





Of course, it was only after I installed and torqued all 5 wheels that I realized that I had forgotten to install the center caps!

I used bolts in the transmission crossmember on the inside front part of the skid plate

i see that, but thats still a decent distance between bolts. the other crossmember protects it a little, but ud hate to have that slowly peel down from constantly hitting rocks seen as thats the front.

Love the home made skids...

And an idea for the guy that wants to make some as well... if you can make a full skid across, you'll get the benefit of being able to move the bolts to the sides of the frame rails, thus protecting them.

thats a good point. On some weve made we use a countersink and flat head screws also. weve also used square tube on the side and drilled a 1" hole to allow a socket in and used hex heads inside the tube.

Yep I agree.. The oil/trans plate is going to tie into the transfer case skid so is to avoid that.
