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.

What was done to your JK this week?

Wiped them down with a baby wipe and taped off didn't sand or anything. Turned out as good as new!

Finally took the hard top off after owning her for two years. Ready for this good Austin weather.

I installed my Teraflex 2.5" BB, love the ay it looks with the 33" tires. Now I just need to find a trail to test it out on.

Build:
07 JK X with 4.10 gears/automatic
-diablosport predator tuning system
-artec front axle truss and gussets
-front and rear adams's driveshafts
-rock crawler 3.5 x factor lift with 1" front level kit
-rugged ridge flat fender flares
-American racing punisher 17x9 rims with 4.5" backspacing

I am currently running 33's which I had with my prior 2" lift. Now I'm stuck between going to 35's or 37's bc of the small price difference and looks. Basically, I want to be able to purchase this last set of tires and never touch this rig again (I'm going to start building a buggy for my fiancé).

My dilemma is: most of all my friends and forum members tell me to go to 35's instead of 37's as I have a 2 door and I do not like the stuffed tire look. I use the jeep for rock krawling only and it sees minimal hwy miles on the weekends or local shows.

Here is a pic of it currently with the build stated above and 33's. so now I need your help! 35's or 37's?!?!?!
Built for 40's? Auto with 4.10's? What axles are you running?

I was missing all the rear hardware and had to ratchet strap the soft top to my roll at in the back until parts came

Yes, with the lift and setup I've built, I can run up to 40's. I do not want to go that big, but I built this way so in the future, I can go that route if I decide with no issues or worries. It's a built Dana 30 front and 44 rear factory axles. I also have an Aussie locker in the front with ten chromoly axle shafts front and rear. With how frequently I use my rig (rock krawl about once a month), I decided to build the Dana 30 and not swap to a pro rock or g2. Basically, I was very fortunate to get the 07 X with the tow package, which is why I have 4.10 gearing and no one else does with newer models. I do not want to re gear what-so-ever, so this is why I'm torn between 35's and 37's. Even with my diablosport tuner, it would be best to re gear with 37's for throttle purposes. I'm just trying to get others opinions and what they have done with similiar builds on their 2 doors. If I decide on 37's, I will still run the 4.10 gearing.

I broke my 30 twice, on easy stuff, with 35s, and at that time I was wheeling only about 4x a year, and i wasnt locked. A 30 locked is more prone to breaking. Might not be a bad idea to consider upgrading that axle if you plan to go up to a 37.
