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.

Talking Re 5.5" Long Arm Installed - Pics

Just picked up my jeep from the shop. I had the Rubicon Express 5.5" long arm kit, 5.13 gears, new driveshafts, Pro-Comp 35" Xtreem MT's and 7005's, and a hypertech installed. I was doubting myself if the 35's would look too small, but i am really at how it turned out (having the LOD front and rear bumpers with winch lowered it a bit im sure). I took my jeep to the 4 wheel parts store in Riverside to have the work done. I know some people have had good and bad experiences with them, but they gave me an awesome deal and i had a very good experience dealing with John in customer service. They are very JK friendly and were interested in making the whole package work than trying to sell you somthing you dont need. Here's a before picture and a lot of after pictures

Heres a few more pictures of the rear and a close up of the tires/rims. I really love the black on black on black look the rims gave the JK.

what sliders will work? those are the ones i was going to buy and i was also looking at the re 5.5 kit. but it seems like most sliders would have a mount in that same area unless the bolt to the body. and i would rather them bolt to the frame then the body
