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?

Front is a bolt-in, rear is all welded.

Local JK buddy was nice enough to lend some welding skills. We were able to get it welded in, in one night.

Yep, I would be more concerned with the color, its white. Close enough, I bang stuff around plenty and wanted something I can touch up with something from any lowes or what have you.

are those cages real? as in, would they help in a rollover? (do our stock "sport" bars work for that matter?) Just curious.

Dude I love it! Nice way to get the extra protection in the back and IMO the best design front bolt on sport cage.

Absolutely they will help in a rollover. "real roll cage" and what I have are two different animals.

I feel it is as strong as my JK will get, without severely dismembering it and giving too much of my "daily driver" features as with a "Real" roll cage. There are certainly disadvantages to tying to the stock cage, however I feel it is the best I can do with what I'm willing to give up on my daily driver.

It only has to hold up once, Jeep is replaceable, anyone is not. I feel it will be there when/if I need it. It is a many times over improvement over the factory support. Which once you get the Jeep down to bare bones...is pretty disappointing.
