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 5.13s installed and loving them!!

Finally got my Yukon 5.13s installed and love the improvement!!

I have 6 speed and 35s. I have to say there is plenty of power left for 37s just as soon as the wife looks the other way.

What made you go with the 5.13 vs. 4.88. I was pulling the trigger this weekend on gear until I saw your post. I use the jeep as DD and do hit some highways from time to time, but then hit fire roads and logging road on weekends. no crawling.

Only reason I didn't go 5.38's, none for the frt D30. I'm planning on 37's as next tire. Probably Supercharger next. Waiting for feedback on a centrifical one. I want boost through the low end and midrange.

Also just got 5:13's and running 37'' tires. So much more driveable and I do a lot of highway driving.

What kind of RPM's are you getting on the highway? They have to be up there with 5.13's and a six speed.
