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.

studed km2 !

Default studed mud terrain's

i decided to keep my stock tires and wheels for winter instead of waisting money on witer tires i rater spend that money on 35 '' so i decided to improve them a little bit all it took was a couple of beer's a box of 1000 1/2inch studs a 1/8 drill bit and of course the stud gun that i borrowed from a friend

aprox 200 studs per tire !

Looks good. How do those work in the ice and snow? Never driven studded tires.

Default studs...

i had the studs on for a month now and its nite and day difference on ice ... 100% improuvment. the tires were good in snow but on ice they were hard as plastic .... so i corected this issue with the studs . i was afraid that studs would reduce my braking power on dry pavement but a friend of mine who is in the tire buisnes for more than 30 years convinced me to do this he told me that the studs wont fall of ... and that it will not be slipery ...

all i can say is so far so good i havent lost a single stud and they are not that noizy i actualy like the sound when i take of at a light ....
and they are not slipery on dry pavment ...
