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.

You can run the sterling 10.25 with the factory gas tank without any mods to the tank. I pulled a sterling off of a 02 F250 superduty Below is my set up.

Not sure on the 4 doors somewhere awhile back i heard of someone using a longer one on four doors but i cant for the life of me recall who or what it was off of. "Normally" 2 doors can use the ones off a 4 door. Or are you looking just how to hook it up not length issues?

I am trying to find some the 4 door can use. My stock brake cables are definately too short. While I found a company that builds them, I prefer to grab some from a junk yard if I can.

Never thought about this! Great idea.

Anyone have a set off a 4 door they don't need

So I commented on this thread 2 years ago and now I am getting my axles to start building them. For the front would you still going to with solid spindle 4 years later and with what parts are available now? Deciding whether I should spool the front with manual hubs or not.

I personally would not spool the front even on a purely trailered rig. Get an auto locker or selectable. Hubs can blow. Some guys here run slugs and just pop them in and out.
