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.

i just downloaded the wayalife app... i havent really posted anything yet, but im a member of a few different jeep forums so that i can be as informed as possible when questions arise.. hell, until about a year ago i was a member here and didn't post anything other than my intro... now that i am off my phone i can finally see how you got your rig hooked up.. looks good... im still mostly stock, as in i only have different rails and a bestop trektop.. lol.. i have a 2.5 in lift, but wont put it on until i go to bigger tires... i guess i could do things like sell or trade my rubi rails for something, or get rid of one of my soft tops.. etc...

I just read some of the threads on that other forum. Wow. Sad to say, they are not alone. I've seen some interesting stuff in my short time as a JK owner on a couple other forums as well. I just don't get it. Funny, though, is I doubt 10% of any of that would be said if there wasn't a keyboard and the internet to hide behind. I quit visiting them, and I am inclined to NOT buy anything from their sponsors.

I'm glad I haven't seen that kind of behavior on this site. I hope I never do. I like it here.

Don't feel bad about budget wheeling. There is a certain satisfaction that goes with wheeling the same trails that the big boys do but without the big budget. Sure their rides may be a little more comfy on the hard stuff, or they can take the baller lines, but if you get to the top of the same trail as they did. You win. I did rubicon last year with no lockers and a budget boost (and a crap load of armor).

Yeah or just get rid if your jeep and kiss eddies ass then you can fit in as well! At least that's what Sharkey did!

Yeah that us very true! Lol
Yessamskates ran the rubicon on a 2.5 with 35 and only had to get pulled out 2 times I think,
If you ask anyone I have wheeled with they will tell you I always follow the bigger jeeps on 37's I do tend to get stuck once in a while because of the ground clearance but I do try to wheel my jeep as hard as I can, I think that's why my cross member is bent lol!

Thanks man!

This week IMA make some home made quick disconnects and hopefully front wheel spacers and a on board air this month or the next, and after I'm going wheeling and when i feel i need the 35's then i will get 35's and sleeves and gussets (unless I find a really good deal on some used ones before)

Yeah I only issue is that I rub on the sway bar links when full flexed so I need the from spacers or I have to take the whole link off. Oh yeah big plans but for now that's what I'm doing,

I'm getting the jeepswag for 260
