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 2017 JKU Granite Crystal with new wheels and tires installed.

I just insatlled my new rims and tires yesterday and went with Level 8 Strike 5 with 4.53 BS mounted with 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and I must say these tires look great and drive great as well. Next week I will be installing a TerraFlex leveling kit.

So far I love the tires. They handled the snow and rain great so far. I have driven 80mph on the highway and they are very smooth.

Whats the road noise like on those Grapplers, ever run Duratracs to compare them too? I really like the Duratracs I put on my daughters JK and was what I plan on running but with the new Ridge Grapplers I may be tempted to try them instead.
