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.

I forgot what it's like to have a solid front axle. These tires would not fit my Ram (IFS) without different backspaced rims, otherwise they would rub on the upper control arm.

I'm pretty sure you will be okay with the fix. I ran 285-70-17 with the fix and it was fine. Your tires are a little bit bigger, so I'm 100% for sure. Maybe someone with 295s will chime in. But yeah full lock will be the main issue.

Cool... Thank you

it's killing me that my new Jeep is at the dealer and not in my driveway... Can't wait until tomorrow. I feel like a little kid at Christmas.

just got home from the dealer... rainy, crappy night... but, she's home.

sorry for the crappy pics... I'll get better pics this week.

I'm planning to put these tires on next month (not the rims -they're from the dodge).

Can't wait to get a lift...
