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.

Just curious if that was with a 2012, wondering how my 12 will do with 35 and 4.10s towing?

I'm pretty sure he's got a 2011. But I imagine you'd be fine, too.

Yup 2011

If I did it more often I would regear for sure, I could do 100km/h 62mph) in 5th gear with abit of headwind but had a hard time maintaining speed in 6th. RPMs were around 2500.

We estimated the sumarai as it sits is about 2500lbs, 2000 stock.

Sounds good, I had an 08 that I used to tow an offroad trailer that came in about 2000 pounds fully loaded even regeared she was a dog when towing. Havnt hooked the railer up to the 12 yet but I'm hopeful still have to get the 7 pin wired in and the brake controller.
