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?

I can't tell what shock he is running but some are made that can run this way up. Usually they are the higher end shocks and this is the preferred way of installing them to help keep crud (sand mud water) from collecting under the boot around the end of the shock.

I think all shocks 'can' be mounted the other way up though and most that you see are.

Installed Rough Country disconnects. I still need to add the holding mounts to the frame (arrow in pic)

My RC 2.2 rear shock can only be installed this way. So I can't say its upside down; it looks just fine to me

Let's see some updated pics.

It looks a lot better than when they are silver but still I like the rims they look great but the center caps just dont do it for me no matter what... what do they look like running without them... or a while back I saw someone use like a tuna can painted black or some sort of can haha it actually looked from the factory.

Finally got around to making some brackets for my rear brake lines. I know, I am lame! I had meant to do it when I lifted it a couple of weeks ago, but forgot.

Anyway, I noticed that the lines were REALLY tight... like, holding the axle up tight when I was disconnected, so I checked on line and saw some cheap steel brackets (cheap design/quality) that cost $29.99!! Screw that.

I had some 1/8th inch Aluminum plate laying around, and just cut a couple of 1.75"x4" strips. Actual drop is about 3"

This week I've put 2000mi on it driving across the country...

I picked up the Bestop Tinted Windows for the soft top, which are awesome, but the passengerside window is missing velcro--so bestop is sending a new window my way.

I also removed some decals and decided to completely redo the decals all together in a different color, I'm gonna go flat/matte black vinyl on the black jeep.

That's about it this week...

This may be a dumb question but, where do you get the labels for the switches?

Just finished installing my Aussie Locker in the front. No pictures because it really doesn't look different.
