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?

Huge improvement bolsak... that looks so much better.

Well, it hit 60 degrees this weekend in Mass so washed the Jeep and drove around all weekend with the freedom panels off. So nice. Oil change today on Tuesday... Happy Jeep for sure.

Looking into what is involved with installing an electric brake controller as we are about ready to buy a camper that has electric brakes.

This is what it looked like before...







Here are some hubs he gave me...

And, vwah-lah!






Instant improvement! My very second mod (the 1st was removing the big fat X symbol
Where can I get those hubs? I have the same wheels with hubcentric rings so I can't use the center caps.

They came off of stock stealies. Most people are giving them away. I'd keep checking the freebies section.

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS! Once you go locked, you won't go back. OK, so it doesn't rhyme. But just do it!

I would say to get the locker now. If you want one later they will have to open the axle all over again and charge you a ton of labor again. When I went to re-gear I had them throw my front locker in too (on my XJ) as I already had the rear one in.

Plus you'll love where the locker will let you go compared to where you can go now
