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 have no known problems with about 20,000 plus miles on the swap. I would do it again for sure. At times I think I can hear gear noise but in a Jeep there is always a noise I guess.

I just picked up my jeep from him in houston and since I don't live far away I just dropped it off and drove back later that day. He is an excellent guy and will not screw you. I totally recommend him to anyone looking for a good gear install for a long drive. I drove home and they did just fine. I got 5.38s in mine because of the 40s and he usually has to special order those. Get the parts from him trust me. Great guy, great service, great performance .

They used Royal Purple in the rear since it is under load and normal oil in the front. The shop guy dropped me off at Whataburger so they'll take care of you if needed. Total install was half a day.
What was your MPG on your trip?
