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 read a post that the pentastar uses some military grade rolling coding that hasn't been able to be crack yet. Seems like we may be waiting a long time for a tuner.

Not sure if any kits are specific to the 11/12 models.
You actually do need to relocate the evap skid or get an aftermarket one if you get a lift.

Otherwise the rear DS will rub on it

What's the reasoning for these manufactures have for making it so hard to get into the factory programming. Eventually we will get it and then the market wil be flooded with programmers. Doesn't make sense to me.

Yes i have had it on now for about 6 weeks i guess. Love it, knew i would. Loved it on my 2010 too. Not. Sure about exhaust. I had a mbrp cat back off road on my 12. Really loud so i sold it. To me, the sound i get from the banks is much better than what i got from the exhaust.w Growl when you step in it, otherwise quiet. The exhaust was loud all the time and sounded ricey when you stepped in it.

What exhaust are you running now and was there any MPG gains when you added the Banks?

No real mpg gains to speak of. The exhaust seemed ti boost my mpg on the interstate but not round town. The banks may help a little but not much. Butt dyno tells me the banks add a little pep but dont know if that could be supported empirically
