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.

So I was pretty excited about putting 40s on but I never considered how the hell I would mount the spare (I'm a weak pussy). However after looking at the retaing wall in the front yard I got and idea. A floor jack, some lumber and the wall made the whole process rather simple.

American ingenuity at its finest. Great looking Jeep you've got.

Thanks, Your rig is looking pretty sweet as well. Those shafts should be a pretty easy swap and give you some piece of mind. I think the only person to break cromoly shafts is heat treater and he is running a jku on 42's. I see lots of guys breaking factory rubi axle shafts when running 37's.
