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.

Default Stock shocks ?

Curious, I like how your JK sits with 33" rather than mine. I replaced my stock shocks with Bilstein 5100's (afterthought/overkill). Now I have too much space. Was your Daystar 1 3/4" all around also? Or was it with a 3/4" spacer in the rear ? Nevertheless I like your stance better.

Very nice, that's one clean Sahara.

And that might be the slipperiest spare tire I've seen in my life. Did you rub that baby down with extra virgin olive oil or what?

Thanks! Im not noticing any increase in noise if there is its very slight. They ride real nice I thought when I first got in this is how is should have been instead of the stock tires.

Thanks! I believe the daystar is 1 3/4" all around, I had the shop install it but I picked it out. I do want 35" later and better lift but still undecided which way I want to go. I had 48K on my stock tires and needed something bad this will tie me over for a while so I can save for a proper suspension lift, 35" tires and regear to 5.10.

I couldn't agree more. Aside from the sorry excuse for a tire that came on my 16" stock steel rims, the Sahara Duelers are a joke (I "upgraded" to a set of Sahara wheels and tires as soon as I could -- shoulda waited for a set of Rubicons)

The DuraTrac has a rugged tread pattern that makes any stock X or Sahara look much more purposeful. A great choice, but I too would back off on the tire gel
