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 Riddlers installed Props to Northridge, added capacity

after getting my 5.38's installed it was suggested to get a new set of covers with the fill plug a lil higher than the stock covers. Contacted Dave at Northride and he sent out a set of Riddlers. Just got them installed. The rear took 3 1/2 quarts and the front took 2 1/2. That should keep the gears nice and lubed.

Watch for "puking" out the vent hoses...I installed Riddlers on front and rear and the next day...I had blowby puking out the vents..the front was worse than the rear...just a little FYI. I took a suction gun and pulled the levels down just a little....PROBLEM SOLVED!

Yes that was to the fill hole on both. I will see if I get any overflow out of the breather tubes. After doing a bit more research, it appears I have overfilled them. I am going to remove a little from the front and rear, test drive it and see if it pukes or not.
