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.

Any 2 door JKs on 40s ?

I have teraflex front and rear heavy duty shafts

I am not against the dana 60s i already mentioned what i am doing is only temporary ! And i know eventually it gonna breaks
selling my axles here will get me a 1000$ max

What i am getting from the replies that it looks like it impossible to run 40s on a JK
No one ever made it successfully?

My plan is to finish this in one year, not in a hurry

And Possible V8 if the turbo power wasn't sufficient to run the 40s

I am not against anyone advices, if i was, i wouldn't come and ask !
No one became expert without trying

It can be done. Several of us who have posted in this thread have done it.

The recommendations we are making are an attempt to save you money and not leave you broken off road.

Truthfully, if you want to run 40s, swap in a V8, upgrade to Dana 60s, etc., you should just buy this jeep and ship it over to you. It would cost you less overall than building from scratch.

Brent is asking $58k US for it. It has extra tires, a very powerful V8 engine, a suspension that should work well in Dubai, etc.

Job started: I am doing 4 door 4" teraflex lift on my 2 door in order getting more lift, along with 1.25" body lift and 1" spacers Lift includes front and rear lower and upper arms ,track bars and brake lines

As mentioned for now, i am going with ARTEC reinforcements kits for dana 30 dana 44

Since our off-road season is already done, temperatures started to shoot to 35 'C from now By next month it gonna hit 45-50 'C

We wont be doing any off-roading until next year So hoping the reinforcement will hold up the tires until getting the $$$ for dana60s

Drive shafts being changed to tomwood 1310 because this what's available in the market here and cant wait for ordering 1350 from US Again hoping they hold up temporary

So the plan is about 7.25" of lift total?
