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?

Default Installed my IPF lights inside grill guard














I have the Mopar front light bar and had just installed pair of IPF lights. I've seen most auxiliary lights are wired outside and through the front grill. Its the easiest way but I find it rather ugly with the wires exposed. So, I've decided to route mine inside the bar with a cleaner look. Its an extra step and be troublesome but it looks more OEM. First by drilling holes on the bottom of the bar where the lights be located. The trick to get the wires through the exit is by tying a rope on the end of the wire and use a vacuum cleaner to suck it out.

This is Not done on a stock vehicle, I'm at somewhere between 2.5-3" lift depending on my load
When lifted, the roll center isn't adjusted when the axle is centered by an adjustable trac bar. It looks like the new JL has a higher trac bar mount which would lead me to believe that you could raise the stock mount on a stock Jk but it probably isn't needed and you May run into components hitting eachother when the suspension compresses. The axle may be centered but the geo not corrected with this.

This bracket brings the roll center back closer to the vehicles center of gravity making it generally more stable and predictable in corners with less body roll

I asked because i never lifted my 2 door and wasnt sure if yours was stock , it looked like stock springs and bumpstops that made me wonder if it would benefit mine in that fashion being stock height

Yup, raise it too much and it will start to tap the bottom of the exhaust pipe. Not sure what that would take on a stock vehicle, but that would happen at some point. I have the TF D60 TB bracket on my rear rubi44 axle....and the sucker is big (tall). I can raise my rear TB to the 2nd highest hole. the highest hole allows the TB to start tapping on the exhaust which is annoying.
