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.

Default Proud owner of a new 08 JK

I just bought a 08 Jeep JK. I use to have a 76 CJ7 but my brother killed it while I was away. So I ventured out to the JK. I hope I can turn this into a beast like my CJ was. I am currently in Iraq but I am adding several mods. I am open to suggestions for mods for this JK. Below is my list. Thanks!

4 inch Rough Country Suspension Lift
35 in Toyo Tires
17x9 KMC XD series SPY Wheels
Front Diff. Locker
488 Gears
KC winshield and bumper lights
Warn Winch with the Mopar BUMPERS (Came on the JEEP)
SRC Rock Sliders
Light guards and exterior accessories.

UPDATE The parts are getting Ordered and installed over next few weeks. I will post pics as i recieve them.

Congrats man! Welcome to the forum

The list is looking good. Did you get a Rubi, Sahara, or X? Just curious because of the 35's. You may want to consider beefing up that 30 in the front if you have the Sahara or the X. If it's a Rubi the 44 will be good.

For either the 30 or 44 though, you may want to pick up the axle C gussets from Offroad Evolution.

Great start though and stay safe over there!

I bought the X. HAd to stay in budget for the mods I wanted and I was not sure if the Rubi was the way to go with what I wanted to do with the JK. Are you talking about the dana?
