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?

I didn't think about it when I made mine as I had some of those RockHard thingies laying around.

I'd say the counter sunk is better than not, but still feel the same issue will crop up eventually. In fact, I had to pull my belly off a couple of weeks ago and two of the eight (??) mounting points I have were pretty jacked to the point of having to weld another bolt to the ground head... and that was with the RockHard thingies.

Thank you my friend .. A lot of credit goes to my friend Shawn.. I wasn't about to pay a $1000 for skids when they can be Fab out for $100 worth of steel..

That's a good idea!!!

i agree its not perfect. weve had to dremel slots in some socket heads to get them out as rocks have completely destroyed the hex portion. They seem to last longer, but still get messed up.

In the end, I decided it just wasn't worth the effort to make it work the way I wanted it to work and bought a set of the evo skids to protect the pans.

Very interested to see what you come up with here.

Installed a ProClip for my phone to keep it from flying all over the place. Let's face it the NAV is ok but cannot compare to Waze.
