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 think it would be a bigger difference with 37" tires since you can run 4.88 gears with them for highway economy while still having decent power and acceleration.

Those mileage numbers don't surprise me too much. The big V8 just doesn't have to work as hard as the 3.8.
That's absolutely awesome, I still crave an alum blocked LS2 or LS7, the weight would probably equal or 3.8's and need I say anything else about the rest of the engine?

I'm jealous. Still waiting on someone to a) drop off a free hemi engine in my driveway or b) give me the winning lottery ticket..

NO 7.0L Hemi Yet but Camp you know that should be on the horizon. I hope that everything is going good with your biuld. Good luck at SEMA i will see you in Moab if not sooner.

The biuld takes as long as the list is. Most of the time we are doing more that just a Hemi install. Great time though.

We're a good bit further along. We're putting a 4" Full Traction Ultimate lift under this JK. Here's some more in - progress pics.

Those are the numbers I'm seeing now with the stock gears and rubi tires with the 5.7
