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.

Any suggestions on wheel size to go with 40's? Also, had bad is power when running a stock engine and 5.38's? I know people recommend 5.38's with 37's and an auto trans.

Besides pinch seam trimming. What other trimming are you guys having to do to fit 40's?

I am running 17" Spyderlocks - 9.5" wide. AWESOME rims.

I have 5.13 gearing with an Auto, and am fine with it. It runs very much like stock again - 2200 rpm at 75 mph / 11-12 city and 13-15 hwy.

6.5" lift, probably settled to approx 5 - 5.5" with time and weight; have only trimmed front and rear of rear wheel well for full clearance. Increased steering stop in front by approx 1" for full clearance lock to lock.

Dang them are some big meats! My puny little 3.8L and 3.73 gears can barely move my 315/70R17's. I can't imagine trying to turn something that massive.


Those rigs sure look awesome though. Great job to all you guys.

Why don't you do a quick list of your build, would love to know what's under the sheet metal. What tires are you running, axles, suspension, lift, engine, etc.

Just the basics......
