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.

Can anyone identify this part?

Default Can anyone identify this part?

In the middle of doing a valve cover swap on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler JKU and after completing the Left side and moving the the right I looked under the jeep and saw this sitting on the floor. It wasn't anything I removed. It must have broke off somewhere. Anybody know what it is?

Thank you for that. Hope it is from the old and not the new - I will inspect before buttoning up. Appreciate the help.!

If you got that new one on really easily then I'd think the pins are in that cuz it would have lined up quick and simple. There is a pin towards the rear on the lower side and i believe towards to front on the upper side. Changing those VC's on this vehicle is a fun job isn't it?

You were 100% correct.! I broke one off of each of the old covers wrestling to get them off. The new ones have plastic pins molded in the covers and are half as deep. I am just happy to be done because you are right 2 days of more fun than I can handle. But no more leaks. THANK YOU for answering my post. It is appreciated.!
