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 just did it..

Default I just did it..

I finally ordered some 315/75R16 Duratracs. I've heard nothing but good things about these tires and I think they look great. After putting on my TF 2.5 lift, the old 265/65R16 M/T's just weren't cutting it anymore! They should be shipping to our 4 Wheel Parts store in Sacramento pretty soon, if they're in stock. I only ordered 4 for now, because I don't have an aftermarket tire carrier yet, but the deal was so good, I couldn't say no. I'll post pictures as soon as I get them mounted! Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy the time you have with your families, some of us couldn't make it home this year :/ Take care!

Bump. I called 4 Wheel Parts in Sacramento today (that's where the tires are being shipped), and the guy told me that my tires are backordered for 3 months...anyone know if there's a place with these tires that aren't backordered for so long? I'm going crazy waiting for these things...

I ran into a similar situation when I ordered mine last Spring. It seems that everyone likes these tires. They are worth the wait though. I've been very pleased with them and will certainly get them again. Good call

Thanks everyone for the responses! I don't mind a little bit of a wait but 3 months?! The only reason I went through 4 Wheel Parts over anyone else is because they ship to their stores for free. If you guys see any in stock anywhere, I'd appreciate it if you let me know!

And Scooby glad to see that you're okay brother!

My Duratracs finally shipped! I'm not quite sure what in the world took so long, but they'll be here on Monday. They should look good with the new Pro Comp 7032's I ordered, the tint I just had done, and my KC Windshield Bracket and Long range driving lights. I'll post pictures when I have everything together!

Sweet! I've had my 315 Duratracs for around 4k miles and love them. I will be doing my first tire rotation this weekend too.

Finally got them installed! These pictures seriously don't do it justice, but it's exactly what I've been shooting for. An aggressive tire with Daily Driving street manners. I also recently got the windows tinted and added some KC lights, what do you guys think?
