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?

Pete over at offroad.com did a writeup on these tops a while back. Here's the link for the article. I looked at his and that's what pushed me to the Trektop. He has an Unlimited and has had no problems at all. I know some have but from what I've seen, Bestop has always taken quick care of any problems. I hope to get mine on this week.

Thanks for the info. Thats what i need. I spoke to best top today. They are sending me the new version and said that they dont want the one i have back.

Drilled two holes in the spare tire carrier, threaded the holes, put in two lugs and tightened down the lug nuts to cover up the ugly holes that were there before....

Drove across a 5 acre farm field that was underwater! 6 times! $12 dollars at the power washer, another $15 at the actual car wash! Word of advise, wash the mud off quickly! Don't wait until the next day.[IMG]http:my.project-jk.com/showphoto.php?photo=41008][/url][/IMG]

That's a pretty neat trick. I may have to do that myself.

I posted these up here a while ago (post 4000), they are convex mirrors by Hercules.

I've got a bad neck from 7000hours flying in Hercs, much with a helmet on trying to map read out the window.
Anyway, the mirrors don't look that great, but when my neck is bothering me and I cant do a shoulder check, they sure do come in handy.

I almost wish they were a bit bigger so they would blend in better

Here is a pic showing the extra visibility. That SUV at my rear bumper is in my blind spot but plain as day in the mirror.

Default Rock Krawler in New York

I am Deployed in Iraq so I had my super sweet wife drop my baby off at Rock Krawler. Jeremy hooked me up and took great care of me. He installed a 3.5 inch lift. 35" baha MTZ's, black steel wheels, an Olympic smuggler front bumper w/ super winch and Olympic rock sliders. He is just waiting on my Rear Smuggler and it will be complete for now. So I can enjoy it and spend time with my wife on the trails instead of the driveway when I get back in two weeks.
