Notices
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.

Expedition Modded Jeeps - Let's see 'em!!

Just put four new ones on Friday. And added Rancho 9000 XL shocks. I think I'm liking this, but will wait for some off road work to be sure.

New Duratracs are on. What a HUGE difference and so much quieter. It has snowed all around the Hill AFB area, (I live in Clinton) but nothing north of the SLC area so I've only driven on dry pavement but I'm really impressed with the ride so far. Thanks for the heads up on these really nice tire.

You're not fooling me. I lived on Hill for a year. It's a stone throw to the Wasatch Front and some serious elevation--meaning snow. You know you're itching to go. ;-)

Not missing the (Hill) a bit, but the mountains that's another story!

I put 33's on my wife's jk and she loves them. I have 35 km2s and like them for all but snow. Rain, I just adjust how I drive. I wish they made the duras in 15 X 35's :(

That's one of the better comparisons I've seen.
Like he says, one has to be a Defender addict to like it.
I drove 2 friends' Defenders and really disliked the overall feel.
I could never understand why Land Rover didn't evolve/improve it along the decades, like Jeep did.
