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.

Installed late last night before heading out for spring break. Glad I went with 34. 5 instead of 35's. Will likely go to taller axles later.

No mods to the wheels. Ive had them down to 11/12 pounds and havent had any problems with the beads letting go.

Running 1 1/2 Spidertrax spacers. 1 3/4" or 2" would have been better. Looking to get wheels with 4ish backspacing in the future but these work for now. Running 4" bumpstops which I hope to shorten when I get wheels with better backspacing. It rubs on the frame at full lock in the front, I havent had a chance to dial in the steering bumps but its not really a big deal. No rubbing in the rear.

Its a work in progress, but its been on the Rubicon and a lot of other trails as it is and I havent had any problems with it.

Yep. Steal them off the F/C Mopar build. Taller gears I guess would be closer to what I meant.
