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 picked this up friday from the shop and drive straight to the mountains for 2 hours and it road great.

I didn't program it when I drove to the mountains and it held onto gears for a long time and would shift at like 5500-6000. It was a little crazy, I started driving in tiptronic so I could shift. While I was in the mountains I put the aev procal on and it was much better than the drive up. The shifts are a lot better, still holds onto 3rd for a while. I will def get regeared soon. I will admit I thought the AEV was a bit of hoax because I have used many handheld tuners, but it did improve the driveability of my jeep.
I think we got the meaning if "program" mixed up. I meant like did you go into the computer and put the tire size and gear ratio in. I've heard if you don't do so that you can't use the jeep but I was wondering If you had done it

I "programmed" it with the AEV procal. Put in tire size, didn't have to change gear bc I have not swapped gears yet.

Love your build! The Jeep is looking great. I read your comments about the MBRP exhaust and had to smile as I made the same mistake. Just too loud for me and sounded like some teenager in a Honda going down the road. Neighbors loved it when I lost that thing. I am now considering an AFE high tuck cat back exhaust. If you're interested I'll let you know how it goes. I want just a little low rumble overstock and stainless underneath for longer life. Great job with the jeep and love the color by the way

Haha yeah I am hoping it dies down a little. I would def be interested in what the AFE sounds like. I kept my stock exhaust in case I give up on the MBRP. Thanks for the compliments!
