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 Finished! all except for gear shop fixing the jammed locker.

I'm LOVING how this turned out. I'll get a better pic when I can drive it.

On the very very short test drive to see if the locker would pop off everything seemed really good. ABS light and Traction control light shut off after about 100ft - seems like it just had to sort out the new gearing and tire size, AEV procal must have worked. Tire pressure monitor is disabled (set to zero pounds), there no TPMS in the wheels, that indicator didn't alarm so that must have worked too.

4" Terflex long arm. Looks a lot taller then that with those 37s on, glad I didn't go higher this looks just right to me.

I think you'll be happy with them! This tire/wheel combo seems about perfect ... caveat that I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test it yet. But backspace, etc seems just right. Testing it out and at full turn there's no rubbing with some clearance to spare.
