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.

Love your build! I headed in a very similar direction. How are the "37" ko2s with the 4.10 gears? Any problem turning them with the stock steering? Thanks!

No. None. Drives and handles perfect with these tires. Please remember these tires are 35.5" tall @ 33 PSI. They are smooth, quiet, and do AWESOME in the snow.

Today I finished installing the Crawler Concept body mounted tire carrier. This piece is in the center body section so instead of powdercoating like the bumpers and fenders I painted it to match. I used Mopar rattle can body match paint. Sand, prime, sand paint, sand paint, clear. WARNING. if your running factory wheels this tire carrier will not extend enough to hold it with a 37x12.5x17 tire. I had to go to the hardware store and use 2.5" grade 8 bolts with sleeves to extend the mounting plate enough to mount the spare. However for the price of around $550 this carrier will hold up to a 40" tire, opens in one with the rear door, and comes with a lic plate relocate plate. Crawlers packaging is sub-par but it's something I called Shad about and he's a nice guy to deal with and builds a great product. Click image for larger version

Great! Thanks for the reply. I like the smallish 37s and light weight for what I have planned. Your Jeep looks great, keep up the good work!
