Notices
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?

Today, I...

1. Cleaned up the new-to-me 37" tires a bit (I bought them used on CL for the best price I've ever seen -- $500 for seven tires with less than 10k miles!)
2. set the air pressure a little higher (experimenting with 38 psi for the moment)
3. just stood there and admired the new stance for a few minutes...
4. I then went inside my house and spent an hour on the phone with "AK" at Chaos Fab (Winchester, VA) to work out a deal on the following:

-- Re-gear to Yukon 5.13's
-- Artec Industries D44 JK Truss (front)
-- Artec Industries HD Front Tracbar Bracket

Coming soon...

I know, right? I'm going to stuff them this weekend to test, but I'm almost positive it will hit that rear seam if I don't trim it. Kinda weird that we never read about that seam, though...
