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?

thanks for the tips. Time to shop the yards!!

So on Saturday my brother and I installed an AEV 2" spacer lift on 2015 4 door Willy's. It went rather well. Took about 5 hours in the driveway with hand tools.

Its a direct swap, didn't have to change anything other than program the new low range in since I have a 12+ auto. And yeah, rubi has a 4:1 low range which is much better for crawling.

Any idea of the maximum load you can put on it? I didn't find anything about that...

cool. How did you change the program? Can you do it with a superchips programmer? Might have to do this to my 08' in the future

I want to say I read some where max load was 300lb. But don't quote me on that. The mounting brackets are solid and about a 1/4" thick.
