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?

...and I guess while I'm posting, pics of the air horn I added awhile back and the freshly installed Genesis Dual Battery kit with 2 Odyssey batteries....

Finished color sanding & buffing the bumper insert after painting several days ago. We are using our Jeep for very mild offroading so I'll be keeping the stock bumpers. Later I'll pull the bumpers off, paint the rear insert & 4 tow hooks as well.

I wasnt aware the solid cover would hit any components up front . Id rather have a solid cover up front and rear, but i dont want to have to modify things just to add that solid cover up front. So either of these type skids would be a alternative . Im looking to add diff covers that wont hit anything front and rear on my stock jk
Gotcha! I missed the post before about the skid plate. The solid cover rubs center of the logo at the "L". It might be hard to see in the pic but you can see where it has rubbed the ss bracket. I don't think you would have an issue with the skid plate bc it only covers half of the diff cover. I'm not sure how far the skid plate sticks out from the cover, but the solid covers are much larger than factory. Hope this helps

I have the same. No issues with my rear, but I'm on a RK 3.5 lift, 3-linked with an adj rear trac bar. I haven't heard of anyone having issues in the rear with any size lift but not sure how much bump stop they are running.

Thanks! The cover is RTV'd, pressed on by a floor jack and wire tied in two places to the bolts that attach the oil pan. It's been hit several times and never moved an inch . Honestly, I would go with solid covers regardless. Rubbing them will not hurt anything, especially the cover. Eventually it will ware like mine and won't rub anymore. Just my opinion over the skid plate option.
