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.

Default Black on Black Lifted Unlimited 35" Rockstars

Before:



After:





Took some time but I got it to how I want it. Had to trim the front skid plate a little due to rubbing but that fixed the problem. I was going for 33's but I kept reading how everyone that got 33's regrets NOT getting 35's. Didn't want to be one of those.

35" Nitto Mudd Grapplers
18" XD Rockstar Rims
Painted 6" Bushwacker Pocket Fender Flares

I wanted to lift it enough to clear 35's. Doesn't rub unless I take the bumps fast which I dont. With the stock fenders they rubbed a lot. Once I got the bushwackers installed (which was NOT a walk in the park) there was no rubbing. I don't like a lot of space in the wells.
