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?

I have 4in superlift. The rear springs kinda sagged too much for me because with a 35 on the taigate and the 200+ pounds of tools in the back, when I went on vacation or camping, it was seriously nose high. I added a 1 3/4 in spacer to the rear which gives me some rake, but evens out and still squats in the rear when loaded. I have a smitty xrc in my garage to put my 37in spare on. I also have 4in tera coils and 1in spacers in my computer room waiting for install, I may leave the spacers out of the front until I get a winch and heavy bumper on the front, but I think the rear height will be about the same.

Just installed 3" fabtech basic lift and 35's on 15" soft 8's. Next, a buddy's wanting to sell me a bulldog stubby winch bumper for $250... think I might take it if I can get him down to $200.

I made (will a lot of help from my neighbour) custom rock rails
I wanted to keep the Rubi sliders which hide the pinch seam really well so I reinforced the sliders by welding the 6 tabs that go thru the pinch seam to the back of them (building up the gap as required). This should help take some of the flex out of them.
I don’t plan on using them as steps but for the 8 year old, they should help her out quite a bit.

Well I had ordered a Smittybilt XRC10HD winch/air compressor back in March when they first came out but it has never made it into production. They were now saying that it will be 1010 before they start shipping so I decided to go ahead and pay the extra money for the Warn PowerPlant HP. Just got it yesterday mid morning and had it installed by mid afternoon.

This coming week I will be re-gearing and maybe an exhaust relocation.
