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.

Yes, it started life as an X. Now, I don't know what to call it. XXX maybe?

It was that kind of logic that got me to a 6.1 hemi instead of the 5.7!

yes, but it'll be worth it in the end.

A transfer case swap is something that can wait really. Plus atlas has a wait time right now anyhow. (if things havent changed)

i like the crawl ratio in my green JK with 5.13's and the stock X case.

Now with the 4:1 its really low

Christ, who needs to crawl when you can Launch! With the suspension and the 6.1, just hammer down!

You'll be fine, drive it as is, see what (if any problems you encounter) then decide what else you would need to do. Probably not much, that's one sick JK!
