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.

Yeah, I think the 4.88s or 5.13s would be a wise investment although the power 'seems' to be there.

I'm not far from Screamin Lizard Customs. They had like a package deal on gears and EVO gussets installed. I can't remember where on here I read that though.

Soon!! I live only 30 miles from Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area. I have never been, but I have heard good things about it. (http://www.barnwellmountainra.com/description.html)
Not too far from Houston, let me know how it is out there. Might be worth a little road trip.

Wow a lot of clearence room under your rig then. I'm 6'4 so I was curious what it would come up to on me.

Very nice rig dude, love the wheels. Couple of questions because I'm planning on doing pretty much the exact same setup.

I'm assuming you bought the OME kit on sale at northridge.

What shocks, wheel spacers, brake extensions, etc. did you get with the kit?

Are the beeds around the outside of the ream functioning bolts, making this wheel compatable with the ProComp Rings, or are they just for looks. I really like these wheels and you Jeep looks awesome, good job.

Here is what the kit consisted of:

OME HD front and rear coils
OME Long travel Shocks
Teraflex Front and Rear Bumpstops
Currie Rock Jock Sway bar Links Front and Rear
JKS Front and Rear Trackbars
Crown Stainless steel Brake lines
Currie Front Upper control arms
Currie Rear Coil Spring retainers

I opted for the JKS quicker sway bar disconnects up front since I don't have a Rubicon with the factory electronic disconnects.

I just checked the bolts and yes they do work. So I'm guessing that you could use the more aggressive looking rings with these wheels.

Looks good!
How is the ride compared with stock? Does the OME kit handle the 35s well? I am looking at a very similar setup, and some guys say that larger wheels(tires more exactly) make the on-road ride rougher. The OME are supposedly one the softest lifts (on 2-3 inch range) so I am curious...

I'm going to assume this kit does not use cam bolts?
