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?

I've been curious as to how these perform. It's an easy upgrade if it pans out in the end. Keep us posted on how well it does. I wish I could get some Dyno info off of so e of these. Mid like to put a RIPP supercharger into though. Cheaper than a HEMI

Yes and the sleeves are still good!!


Well new years eve offroading with a pack of my fellow jeepers playing around on the dry lake bed at night all my lights where on but somehow doing 40 mph and hitting huge rivet and getting airborne roughly two feet. My seat belt came undone and when I landed lost steering due to the stabilizer being smashed. I was thankfully able to drive it home about 20 miles. When I got home I got up under neath my rig and took that picture. I was able to get a more beefed up from a fellow jeeper that just so happen to have his old one in the back yard with 4.88 in it so I took him up on the offer for $800.00 and just got my dual steering stabilizer from eBay $120.00. Plus I figure a couple of twelve packs and some good friends should be done by tomorrow evening. Dealer wanted $2800.00 for a replacement if all work out right I'll be out $1400.00 for better gears installed and a newer axle.

Oh wow thats crazy. Glad you made it out safely. I have evo sleeves that I welded in myself but I have been lucky so far not to break the tubes. In fact last weekend I was with mel from evo in Johnson valley, driving 70mph through the desert lol
