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 over 4" of lift from 2.5" lift kit. Great bang for buck. Winch had to wait as they didn't know before that they needed an optional winch box for the existing Olympic BOA bumper. I'll get some photos tomorrow when we get up to the mountains.




Got some photos this weekend. Sorry I didn't get her cleaned up first. Looking forward to playing with the Superchips programmer this week and getting room in the garage for the top so I can install the TrekTop.

Hey, Wingman, how hard was it to get that winch isolator to fit? I just got one for the roller fairlead that came with my Smittbilt winch and it's tighter than a drum. Thought I'd ask before I either send it back or do a little modifying.

Disregard. I just learned that the winch isolator is designed to fit with a minimum 8 3/4 inch roller width. Mine is 8 1/4". Time to customize.

I know it recommends to separate the ball joints and to remove the lower control arm, but we decided that by utilizing stitch welding techniques plus having several wet towels around and going back and forth between the driver and passenger side alternating would allow us to not overheat the effected areas. I hit em up with a couple coats or primer then slapped on some black Rustoleum hammer rattle can paint...And here is the results...needless to say I'm very pleased with the results

I can't wait to get my C2 gussets on. I have been wanting to do this for a while just now getting around to ordering the gussets and beefing up my Dana 30. I only have 33's but serious backspacing with 3.75 so they have leverage and I wheel pretty hard. I think I might need adjustable ball joints. I will try to leave mine in and weld them like you did. Looks good!
