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.

Interesting conversion, JK "pickup?"

Here's a guy that lives in my area. I don't know him personally, but thought this was kind of interesting.

Cant really get a feel based on those pics, but is that an exhaust stack coming up through the floor?

I don't really know about it. Can't really get a good look at the "whole" thing. It looks interesting, but it also looks like the thing was just chopped and welded together. But then again, JKs are about expression, so if he likes it, then its good enough for me!


But if I were gonna get a truck like JK, I'd go for the AEV Brute Conversion. Sweetness.

Hopefully some of the fit and finish issues are on his to do list. I can't image doing this to mine, If you get one on a salvage title it might be fun to tinker around with something like this.

Then you haven't read all of my posts. I praise good work, but this ain't it.
