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.

You really need to factor in the cost of what you want to do to save on the gas mileage vs. what you will actually save. Spending $2 grand to try and squeeze another MPG is just burning your cash...there is no return on investment for a long time.

Aside from that, if your spending the money on mods because it's what you want to do...have fun with it. Like one of the other posts said, it's all downhill once you break out of stock.

3.21's on 33's and 2" spacer lift on my '12 manual, average between 18.8-20.5mpg depending on how I'm driving. Obviously trail tanks are down to about 15.3-16.9

How are the 4:88's with 37's? I'm on the fence with 5:13 or 4:88. I have the 3.8 with auto trans.

This was meant to be a private message to txboggers, sorry to hijack.
