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?

Depending on the time of the year, and how busy I am with my own projects, I do do corrections on other people's vehicles. But with my own fleet being so stupid, 10 vehicles.... I don't have much time to sell to others. In that 10, I include my oldest boy's 2 cars that he left with me while he deployed with the USMC. I keep them cleaned up and waiting with the batteries removed for his safe return. I also have a 16 year old daughter who drives her/my 2004 Grand Prix GT that I try hard to keep up with. And the then there is the wife..... Don't get me started on her and her cars.

I wheel about once a month, the 3 weekends are spent cleaning, buffing, painting, coating, dressing, sealing..... my other passion! I start at the bottom and make the frame, brackets, engine, axles and all look new. Then I go up and get the paint back, then I spend a day or 2 inside. Once you can't tell it's been off road (aside from bent steel under it!).... it's about time to take it back into the rocks and start again!
Now that is passion. Good for you!

It was a VERY easy install and the directions were very good. They do say you have to enlarge some of the holes on the frame for the bumper studs to go through but we tried to fit it anyways and it went on straight and easily so we opted not to do that. The only other thing is we had to extend the passenger side fog light wiring so it would reach. Total install time I would say was 45 mins - 1 hour

You also say (and they look like!) you have 37" tires, then you say a bit lower that you have 295/70/17 tires. If you have the 295/70/17, you would have approximately a 33.25" tall by 11.6" wide tire. You have me so confused! Or... am I looking at an out of date signature line and I am confusing it with the upper line sayng what is actually in the photo? I wanted to here what rear bump extension your running and how dramatic the cutting was on the rear most pinch seam. I'm about to travel down that same road. I hope my Willys looks like yours. That's a big and bad look!
Thank you. That signature you're looking at is outdated that was my jku which I traded in. I have old man emu springs and 5100 bilsteins the ride is super comfortable and have 2" lift all around, after the hardware I lost about 1/4" but considering either a body lift or HD old man emu springs. I trimmed my fenders and took a lot off the pinch seams because my 37s are huge. I also gained an extra 1" overall with tires but to be safe I want to lift the body another 1-1.25"
