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.

Thanks for the comments guys!

The next step in my Jeep's evolution was a front drive shaft. The stock CV was pretty much maxed out with the 5.5" lift height gain. It started to howl after 8 days of just street driving ;-)

Here's a quick time lapse of the drive shaft install. Getting the damn 8 stock bolts at the transfer case flange off was interesting.

It's nice having friends around! I think I even saw Jesse James in there somewhere with a beanie on!

Picked up some new shoes!

17x8 Ion Alloys wrapped in 285 75 R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers...





And... it fits in the garage ;-) I was worried...



Going wheeling this weekend!

Cheers! ~ Paul.

Great job with your rig, Paul! I have to say... I've been seeing more and more Nitto Trail Grapplers... how do you like them? I was thinking about getting some Toyo MTs but these look wicked awesome. Great wheel/tire combo! Actually, great everything so far!

Awesome videos man! I am now thinking about a Go Pro knowing it has that time lapse feature.

Have you thought about tweaking the length on your front upper CAs to get a better pinion angle on your front DS? From the shots on the DS replacement it looks pretty flat to me. Just asking.
