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.

Would the gas savings from 35 to 33 really be all that much. I mean considering you'll now have to buy new tires.

I used to have 33" terragraplers. They were actually 325/60R18 so they were just over 33" tall (like 33.4) and like 13.3" wide. Those tires were the worst hydroplaning tires I have ever owned. What gear ratio do you have? I had those 33s and 4.10s and got about 16mpg mixed. I now have 35s (nitto mudgrapplers) and 5.13s and get 13mpg mixed. I think mich of the MPG drop is because the 35s are E rated so I run them at like 26 PSI. Also, they are very heavy.

Here is is back when I had a 2" superlift and 33's:

You'll gain more MPG by reprogramming the ECU with the Superchips Flashpaq...

And it's only $308 (free shipping) total from Northride4x4 that's the smarter way to go..
