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?

Driving down through some WV mountains my front left brakes started smoking like a crack den. Limped it into a shop. New pads, rotors and calipers for the front. Best bit was when they told me my brake cylinder was shot and I needed a new one as they couldn't bleed the brakes. I did a little digging on the forum and found that could be an option so I asked to have a look for myself. Looking under the hood the first thing I noticed was a now bone dry brake fluid reservoir. Saved me $140 plus two hours labor.

Jeep is good as new again and I have some JKS quick disconnects sat at home waiting to be put on thanks to a forum member.

I'm thinking of doing this to my white one too and was wondering how it would look, so thanks for providing the answer! 👍

Smittybilt SRC classic. Was lucky enough to get it half off from 4 wheel parts last winter. It was a display so I jumped on it

35" Trail Grapplers, 2" lift with trektop NX. To finish it off I blacked out all my emblems. I think it is stayed to look like a real jeep... Lol

Got my Smittybilt SRC bumper, Smittybilt X2O Gen 2 Comp 12000 lb winch, some D rings, and Skyjacker sway bar disconnects this morning and got it all installed.





They had 2 of the same bumpers that were displays for $300 each, so I grabbed both! I'll give one to my buddy for his 2013 JKU.

Oh, I also got a set of KC 55 watt fogs, but screwed up and didn't mount them prior to the winch. I have to remove the winch to get them installed.

I'm going to cut the KC plug from the supplied harness and solder it to the factory harness so that the factory switch controls them. What a pain in the rear, I was stupid.

BTW, did you put the longer rope sheath on the drum end of the rope? I didn't the first time I wound the winch and when I needed it, well, it didn't turn out so good.
