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.

Default My 30th Birthday presents are finally all installed!

Of course I bought all the presents for the Jeep myself, but it still counts as a present, right?

In combination with my birthday I took 2 weeks of leave and I had all the time I needed to install all this stuff I got in. A big thanks to David at Northridge for the lift, trackbar, and light. Wheels and tires I picked up at 4wd Hardware.

First thing I did this week was to put on the IPF 968's on Rugged Ridge mounts:


After I installed a Teraflex 2.5" spring lift with JKS adjustable rear trackbar.

Here is the Jeep before:


And after the lift. I Gained 3.5" in the front and 3 in the rear


The past 2 days I installed my Mopar rear bumper and my new Procomp 8128's. I got them in the 16" form and 315/75/16 for the tires.

Here are the results:






I'm very happy with my choice of wheels and tires too. These 8128's are pretty stout and the rockring is very thick.


Overall I am very pleased with the way it turned out. This is the way the Jeep should have been from the factory.

Yeah when I bought the Jeep used it came with the Mopar front bumper and winch and I couldn't find another rear besides the Warn bumper that looked all that great with the front one. Keep in mind also that I put the PureJeep shackles on the front bumper as well.

I tested the flex out on the lift just now down the road and no rubbing at all even though the rock rails are within a 1/4" of the tires. Too dark for pics though. I'll do that tomorrow.

Oh and a quick shoutout to TOAD for the bracket I have now for my IPhone. It works out great! I do have one suggestion for it if you want to PM me.
