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?

ID:	600505 Added 3/4" spacers to the front. I did the 18/59 spring swap a while back but it wasn't level. I'd say it's leveled out now. Now I just need to install my quick disconnects for the sway bar

Fixed my winch line after second use.. it broke off the thimble. And then proceeded to melt the rope from being used. So i added parker ( hose protector ) from our hose shop. 3 ft on the end and then inside where the thimble is another 3ft.

Just a few simple but very noticeable and needed changes. All were bought on Amazon.

Much needed Smittybilt SRC oversize tire carrier $130.00 to handle my 34" Nittos on stock 18" wheel. Stock carrier with spacer was no bueno.

Nice build, Rubi-josh. What lift do you have, and what tires/wheels are you running? Very sharp looking Sahara.

Rotate tires and changed brake pads. Don't have the shakes between 45-50 anymore. Lazy me waited too long so can only do 4 tire instead of 5 tire rotation.

Bought and installed a brand new premium soft top! Got a decent deal on Craigslist considering it was only two weeks old.
