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.

Sorry little off subject but would a diesel jeep be better for expedition and long travel? Thoughts, pros /cons?

It depends on where you go. Fuel economy better, so longer range. However, Diesel may not be as widely available as gas.

It would be great having one of those flex-fuel type engines that can burn 100% gas to 100% alcohol. ;-)

[QUOTE=Kojack;3195799]why not install air lift 1000 in your rides. I'm doing that for trailer towing and loading down my jeep. No adverse affect on flex either. QUOTE]

That sounds like a great idea. Let me know how that goes.

Will it allow the springs to fully compress when flexing?

Some tablets (as some laptops) have their own GPS chips and are able to get the satellite signals and interact with map software. Since we are going offroad it's better using topo maps.

However, you must be able to download the map software data into your tablet since there will be no wi-fi or cellphone signals where we usually go.

LOVE THAT JEEP.

question, how does the LED light setup compare to the warn? I have been looking at rigid lights at the store, and they seem to be NOT bright at all compared to my 55w HID Hella 500s.
