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?

It is soon to be more toy than anything so I wasn't really thinking as much onroad as offroad. there are pros and cons to doing it either way

-Less stress on am already weak d30 compared to a full locker
-Front flexes more and has more weight than the rear keepin the wheels on the ground. so the auto traction will be more usefull up front in my mind . as soon as a tire is off the ground it loses any usefullness
- if the roads are messy in the winter the rear end likes to kick out anyway, locked or not. And its even worse with the true trac (experienced by many in my local club) i usually put it in 4wheel on those days, making use of the front TT. having it in the front pulls the jeep forward(think benefits of front wheel drive in snow)
whether any of that makes sense or not, its some of my reasons anyway. Mostly the less stress on the front axle thing. And having my rear wheels off the ground more often I wanted to be able to fully lock that.

Dont most vehicles that come with an elocker usually put it in the rear? The fj. Some military vehicles



Stay muddy my friends

Spent the weekend doing the biggest mod I've ever done... Installed a Warn Elite bumper on the Rubi. Not too tough, but a lot of wrench cranking!

Small change for some of y'all, but a biggie for me!

Made an ugly but functional tailpipe after I relocated the muffler on my 2 door. I just used leftover exhaust pieces I had laying around.

I tried a turn down after the muffler but it was so loud and a really bad drone. My exhaust sounds good now and is still a little louder than I like but it is tolerable.
