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.

Just picked up a new truck. 2007 3500 with the 6.7 Cummins. I am thinking of a leveling kit in front and the Alcoa big rig wheels and tires. What do you think.

Very nice truck! I am glad I don't have to feed one here in SoCal though. Diesel fuel is over $1 per gallon more expensive than gas. I filled up this morning and saw the price on the diesel was $4.99 per gallon! I do know there are advantages to diesel if you need the power.....

I am getting 22mpg hwy and 17city. My chevy gas 2500hd got 11 miles per gallon hwy an 6-7 city. So it still save me $$ to pay 4.45 a gallon.

Thats awesome! My Ford powerjoke got 12 mpg on a good day, so there was not much benefit other than the pulling power, which I was pleased with.

Yup. I got better mileage towing my built TJ and 18" trailer (7K lbs) with my 2004 CTD, than I get with my JK.

Go for it man, that would be awesome, when my SD got stolen I was gonna get another dually, and was looking at getting Megacab 3500, but just didnt want to start over with 600 dollar payment, and kinda glad I didnt diesel has spiked from a .25 difference to almost a dollar, and seeing your getting that mileage on your 6.7 means they must have dont some serious ecm work, when I was looking at buying alot of people were complaining of the poor mileage. If you do go with Big rig wheels post pics, heres my brothers SD, doing a big wheel kit but going to run super singles in the front instead
