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.

It was like xmas the last 2 days!

Default It was like xmas the last 2 days!

Christmas came early this year.

If you buy a RR short base bumper make sure you have some deep sockets and a air conditioned garage.

Per fedex, winch 80lbs/ bumper I believe 65-70lbs. If the cable was synthetic it would be 20lbs lighter. Per my call to Warn, 8000lbs no problem for the jeep.

The factory bumper was garbage. It weighed about 30lbs.

And my ac garage was about 95 deg. Its really hot in south florida.

Its cheaper than taking it to a 4wd shop. lol

We just deal with it. If you waiting tell the evening hours the bugs get ya, so its better to do as much as possible before 1800
