JK Show & TellWhether 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.
Hello all. It’s been a while since I last posted. Actually it’s been a while since I did anything to my Jeep but the mood hit me so I installed Bushwacker flat fenders, a Rugged Ridge HD tire carrier, 35 x 12.50 Goodyear Duratracs and KMC XD Series wheels. Loving it.
Finally got around to replacing all of the beadlock bolts on my KTM Machete wheels. They came with 3/8-16x1 1/2” bolts which stuck almost 1/2” through the backs of the mounting holes. Cleaning the wheels was a nightmare because you’d have to clean around each of the 24 bolts on each wheel. I sourced some stainless 3/8-16x1 1/8” bolts. They grab plenty deep enough, but are only slightly visible from the back sides, so cleaning the wheels is an easy chore now. I did some measuring and the threaded inserts will have a full grab with a 1” bolt.
And, yes.... I have all of the original bolts, as I’m sure that trying to get a good start on the rings with less than the 1 1/2” length will be quite impossible. So next time I need to change tires it’ll be more work, but we’ll worth it for regular maintenance.
Just installed the Star Fabricating Smart Door stops.
Easy install and they really work great. I had a bit of confusion though, as the instructions said that there was a short strap extension which needed to be added to the existing strap, but none were in the box. I shot a message to Star Fabricating and they got back to me pretty quickly. (On a Saturday, no less.). They no longer include the strap extension, as it is unnecessary. Apparently I had an older set of instructions in my kit.
Bottom line is that this is a really great product. The door half of the system attaches to the door frame with a specialty T-50 nut. That’s the same size which holds the door hinges on. So if you want to remove your doors the same wrench unfastens everything. Good thinking on their part.
