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 know this is a stupid question but is that a drain hole?

sure is, those mirrors can hold a decent ammount of water, lots of people drill them to let them drain out.

Yup. I haven't gotten mine wet in a while so nothing came out when I drilled them, but every time it rains, or I wash the Jeep, those things are full of water, and I get the dribbles and drips down the doors for days, and it only takes like 2 seconds to do, so I figured "why not?" Just now had both the Jeep and the cordless drill in the same location, so I went for it.

I used a 3/32nds bit if anyone is curious.

Teraflex is famous for that. I don't know one single person who runs a Teraflex lift that hasn't had serious coil sag. They make great stuff, but their springs are not up to par....
