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.

Trimming!! Haha especially if your not running much lift. Other then that I would recommend a d44 up front and chromo shafts in rear. Most of that is reassurance in my opinion.

Those douche bag stickers on the windshield and rear corner ruin it.

no but some adjustable control arms would make it a bit easier. I'd like to push my axle back an inch, but everything works well right now so its not a priority.

My tire guy's tellin me that the 37x12.5" MT/R+K isn't a good match with the stock 17" Rubicon wheel width-wise. I told him that guys are running them with 30-32 psi in them and being fine. Also allows to hold the bead a little better when aired down. Am I wrong? i really wanna use the stock wheels and just space them out.

If you know that you need wheel spacers for them then they are ok, everyone is gonna have there own opinion on wheel spacers, get the hub centric ones the spidertrax ones and you will be ok as long as you check the tightness of them every tire rotation (3k)
My personal opinion is they are fine but I'm going down to 15s with 3.75 back spacing because it's cheaper to buy new rims and tires for a 15 inch rim then to get tires and wheel spacers for the stock 17s.

That's what I thought, thanks. Now just gotta' find how wide of a spacer I actually want to run with those 37's to still allow an acceptable turning radius without nubbin' out on my swaybar/LCA/frame with a washer or two under the steering stops without heving them stick too far out from the flare. Was planning on a hub-centric anyway, somewhere between 1.5" and 2.5"...

I was also going to go with a cheap pair of 15x10" steelies when I do the swap but they don't make the MT/R+K in 37x12.50R15 anymore, and that's the tire I'd like to run—everything else is too heavy or doesn't have the characterics I'm looking for.

Just finished up the build for the most part. A few more finishing touches and it'll be good to. Can't wait to wheel it...
