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.

Any problems with the ESP light or bump-steer?

There might be some problems with the ESP but we didn't have enough time to get the steering wheel dead on center yet. Hopefully we will by today. As far as bumpsteer goes, I don't think so but I haven't driven it so I don't know for sure. Again, I hope to get a better look at things today.

Me too.

I really want to do a 2-2.5" lift, some decent rims/tires, and a basic winch on for playing in the woods. If i could find some Rubicon take-offs i would even settle for those. But alas, too many kids, i need to be happy i got a Jeep at all.

So, i will just have to live vicariously through people with more play $ than me!

Which Full traction lift did you buy? Econo? Premium? Ultimate?


Which shocks did you select?


Very interested in the ESP issues if any!

Rubimon bought the 3" Econo Lift with the M-Force Shocks. And, if you don't get the steering wheel dead center, you will experience ESP issues.

Sorry Rubimon if I was speaking for ya but I thought I might be able to answer a few simple questions until you got back behind your computre

so the alignment of the steering wheel causes the esp malfunction?


Would the premium lift help that issue?

Shock wise, I assume the M-force are the way to go....

Thanks ordering next week, make all my answers easy!
