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 Full-Traction 6" LA - Home Build

I started this project having little to no knowledge of JK's. I had a 1951 M38 before this, so the project provided a huge learning curve. In the end, it took me about two months to complete in the evenings and on weekends. I waited nearly 7 months for all the parts to arrive so I could start. I at least have the confidence of knowing how the jeep was put together and that it was done right. I know there are quite a few pics, but wanted to share some of the aspects of the build. So far, I am very satisfied with all the choices of parts and their preformance. This was because all I learned here on this site before I began....thanks.
