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?

Chopped bumper looks good Been thinking of doing that myself...

Isn't running fogs with high beam considered illegal??? I didn't think quad beams were legal

Can you share the details of this? In cars of my past all that was necessary was to make the groud on the fogs permanent and not a switched ground. what's the deal here? I like to have fogs on with high beams for dark, clear nights on back roads. (near and far vision together = good)

Installed AFE Cold Air Intake, hitch shackle and D-ring and ordered Spare to match the shoes and socks I put on two weeks ago!!

Just got back in from driving.. wow am I impressed with the $199 AFE CAI. I have owned just about every CAI except the AFE. For the money, this economical investment was worth the research!

Default Eliminated my "death wobble" (sort of)

I had been getting the "death wobble" at 65 mph and higher. Now, I can go 75 mpg before I begin feeling some sort of vibration.

Each of my tires have Staun Internal Bead Locks. They are also balanced with Dynabeads instead of weights. My driver-side rear wheel had a wobble that actually made it gain air on the road at 65 mph or higher (my brother drove behind me and could see it). I'm still not sure what's wrong with that specific tire, so it's become my spare.

I busted my ass on my jeep this past weekend I herculined the entire inside, put on my 33x12.50 Mickey Tom MT'Z, Then I put on my 4in Lift by rough country, and installed my CB. Also I did a cool little thing with bungee chords and one of my MAG lights on my roll bar.

Ill Post Pics Later On Today

I'm not positive, but I think you are mixing your wobble terms. It's my understanding that Death Wobble is not the same has tires vibrating from being out of balance. The death wobble is an after-shake associated wtih the steering (and steering damper). Like hitting a bump at speed and the steering wheel moves A LOT for a few feet afterwards. Whereas, out of balance tires will vibrate at a certain speed (and that speed can vary as the tire wears).
