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 would have to make a road trip just for the heck of it then. Drive 250 miles to anywhere and then back to the house for some wheeling. Very impressed with your jeep and build.

w00t for video!

But I still think you should put on a rear sway bar. It will help balance out the front sway bar, and add stability on hill climbs. You can also see the rear flexing more than the front in this video. But this is just my opinion.

no sway bars were connected in this video or in any test drives....at worst the front sway bar could be useful...maybe...otherwise it drives incredibly even with no sway bars ...the flex differences you see will be changed by coilover adjustments and have nothing to do with sway bars because they weren't used

Also weighed the Jeep today, went from 3760 lbs stock to 5300 lbs...we were guessing higher so not too bad in our eyes
