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.

But he's got a winch. I'm sure that will take out those pesky overpriced rubicons!

So stock consists of discos, bumper and winch? Yeah our definitions are very different.

Yes, Kills a rubicon. With the stronger axle shafts in there(stronger than rubicons) and ARB Air lockers, plus 4.88 gearing... Sure I don't have the 4.10 transfer case, but in 4LO and lockers, I won't need that at all, this thing creeps slow enough for me as is especially with the gearing. And Don't forget I have a 3.5" lift as well as 35" tires. The rubicon has no lift and 32" tires. That means I instantly also have a clearance advantage of a good amount.

All the rubicon owners can boast all they want about their transfer case; however, I haven't seen a non-rubicon that was upgraded not able to do anything, or more, than a stock rubicon.

Dana 30 will never beat the 44. Your shafts may be stronger than the stock D30 ones but the 44 will still have a leg up on you

And you guys should be nice to me. It's not like I purchased this thing as a mall crawler. I use it as a Jeep should be used! And I've owned many jeeps. 2004 TJ Rubicon, 2001 XJ Limited, 2011 JKU Sport(Upgraded like mad), 2012 XJ Sport(again, upgraded like mad, "Black Ops" dealer package, and 1998 XJ Classic(Upgraded with lift, 31 duratrack tires, and some lighting on roof)
Now Jeep started making 2012 XJ Wrangler. They must be really limited editions

I bet the dealership BANKED on your purchase! Did the red carpet leading to the finance office with a complimentary bottle of wine and crumpets not give it away?

You will never get your money back out of the Jeep. You will definately have to run the wheels off the thing. The VIN will always classify it as a sport and add ons never really help alot.

Dealer packages are always a rip off! Always!

Anyways, have fun with the Jeep, just dont post fake info on a Jeep forum about your ride being something different than what it is. Your just setting yourself up for a epic fail. I would have at least explained that it was a Sport with a dealer installed package.
