JK-Forum.com - The top destination for Jeep JK and JL Wrangler news, rumors, and discussion

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?

Switched to New York Raiders hockey pucks in the front ....Not a huge fan of hockey, but these DIY pucks beat the hell outta $80 adjustable bump stops.

Honestly didn't know what a new one cost. Seems that everyone suggests a skid or relocating it. Never read anyone say break it and replace. Skid was $95 I think and now I know I won't break it once or twice or so on.

Pricing seems to vary a little by location unless you shop Q'tec or similar. I've seen online where people have paid anywhere from $60 to as much as a couple of hundred at local shops.

What was the top before? I have been wondering if the troops can be painter to match body. Don't like how they fade to a dull gray.

Really? I've always heard that if you lose the evap canister you still drive home just fine. Either way, as hard as I've wheeled my rig(mostly rock) I've never touched it.

it's not going to stop you from going anywhere if it's broken or missing.

$700 local body shop. I removed all weather stripping, there were a few places they fixed.

It was a dark green before
