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.

Man, I cant believe I havnt seen this thread before.

How did you like the Pitbull tires on the LJ? Were they the radials? You went from a fairly extreme tire to a good all terrain.... just curious why. I have been eyeing those Pitbull radials up for a while, but I am too woried that they ride rough as hell on the road... and I do too much road driving with my rubi.

I will be watching your build... keep all of us dreamers posted! Nice to see you AND your wife enjoying Jeepin'!

Loved the pitbull rockers! They were awesome offroad. But on road they were a little loud and rough. Since you do a lot of road driving I wouldn't recommend em in my opinion.

Thanks! I'm enjoying it like crazy! And so is my wife, except now that it's lifted and has big tires, it's a little hard for her to get in cuz she's 5'0 lol(which was the same complaint about the lj, sshhhh ;-))! But I found something that will make it easier to get in it.

Made by Olympic. We'll see how she likes it :-)

By the way, when I got home from 4Wheel Parts with the Gears. I didn't notice til I was taking em out the Jeep that they were 5.38's! They were supposed to be 5.13's. Guessing it was meant to be! :-)

Thanks! Just ordered the Warn Powerplant 9,500 pound winch today. And my brother is buying me a bumper for Christmas that he saw on Craigslist today as well. I don't know who makes it but its bad ass. The guy only wants $350 for it cuz it was the wrong bumper they sent him and they take no returns. It's brand new and only had it for three weeks. Here's a couple pictures of it.
