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?

Got flashcal and reset for the large tires, what a difference it made with the automatic transmission shift points let alone the speedometer is right now. Should have done this a long time ago.

They seem good. I hung on them good and did not move!

I have the same handles. They were easy to install if you start the vertical bolts and then alternate between the horizontal and vertical. The one thing I learned is that the horizontal bolt does not tighten at the angle you might think it would. It is more down than you might expect. I suspect that is why people have had issues with cross threading.

Got my Metalcloak skid plate system installed today. It took about 2 hours not including installing the cross member yesterday. It went a lot easier and quicker than I had expected. Didn't even have to put the Jeep up on jack stands. Left it on the ground. Did it 100% by myself too.

Thanks to a sweet deal I got from another forum member, got an Expedition One front bumper. Sprayed it with Rustoleum Bed Liner and it came out perfect.

Installed the Metalcloak front and rear adjustable track bars along with the front end correction brackets.

Tomorrow I think will be the new Rocksport shocks and brake line extensions if the weather holds out long enough and doesn't rain.
