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 Foward axle
I've noticed that and thats an area of concern. Someone else stated that the axle needs to be moved back. If I get new control arms will that take care of the problem? Will I have to do anything with the driveshaft??

It's a balance between how far you can move it and pinion angle. New uppers and lower control arms will help this. How is your ride/handling/steering. Do you have any dartiness or wandering on the freeway?

Looks great! Some new control arms will help with the axle and will better position for the new meats. I would go with a smaller 37" on the 3.5" it will be a tight fit with the 3.5".

What rails/sliders are you running?

Looks good I wanted that color but couldn't find one with the dual top option. Next pic needs some 35s

Phat Steve - Canyon Red!? What the hell is that color!? It is Red Rock or Sedona Red! Those are the ONLY options unless you had it repainted already!

It actually looks better than stock IMO like this. Even some meaty 33" tires would make it nice.
