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?

Oh jeez, saw the video. That sucks. Thanks for the greatly needed advice on not to buy that bumper!

Lol soo, scratch that Bestop Bumper off my list. Guess I'm sticking with the Fab Fours Front Bumper, all 140 pounds of it plus 90 pounds for the winch.

Or unless someone can give me a recommendation on other bumpers that look good and work well.

Can you post more pics of the doors from a farther distance?

Thanks, I made them in about an hour. Bought a sunshade tarp off ebay, wife got the border from some fabric store, and got the grommets and velcro straps from Home Depot. I'm gonna attempt to make a mesh safari top next!

I still need to touch it up the cuts when I get home. I think I need to re-paint the entire bumper since our last trail ride at ONF took off a lot of the paint already (some tight trails out there)


Before:






and AFTER












I think I got the cut bug.. fenders are definately next

I also need to get another Teraflex sticker from Joe.
Nicely done.
