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.

Great jeep. I've been thinking of a black/red theme myself, but don't think I would have thought of all you did: red grill inserts, red stickers, red rock lights, etc. Well thought out. Damn good job man!

Looks Awesome dude! Keep posting on how it drives with 3.73 gears and that dana 30 up front. I want to put 35's or 37's on mine as well but I am scared of the dana 30!!!! lol.

Thanks Camp -- I've had so many compliments on the Nack it's retarded. Without your product it probably wouldn't get near as many looks as it does.

lets trade.
Ludski -- I don't mind, I felt so much like a copycat as I was building this thing because I'd see one rig I liked, and take one thing from each one I saw....I'm happy with the way it all came together....so as of now, I can't trade

Ok so to all the guys that posted a comment about the 37's on the d30 and 3.73....

37's took my MGP from 18 to 14....now THIS is a hit I'm willing to take because I was actually expecting much lower (more around the 11-12 area)...so 4 MPG for the bigger tire that I would have regretted not getting? I'll take it.

The 37" Toyo's ride nice, so if you are considering a 37", I'd full recommend them due to their quality, not much road noise, and how smooth they ride. As far as power loss, yes there is a noticeable loss of power off the start of the line as well as progressing into higher speeds on the highway. However, I'm willing to deal with that as well because I have a light foot and didn't drive my JK fast prior to the 37's, so I don't care.

I will keep everyone updated as to how things last as things go along -- we shall see how the 37's impact the d30 over time, but as of now -- no negative comments to make here.

Lud -- about forgot to answer this one....I haven't measured the exact length with the stinger on, but I would eyeball it at maybe 2 feet or a little more out from the tip of the stinger from the hood....I fit in my garage just fine with about 2 feet to spare....
