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.

flying jk!!

Doesn't work well with cars unless they have enough torque or better yet a 50/50 distribution, the closer to the balance the higher chance it could work. But for it to make a difference in our Jeep we need a tremendous amount of torque to level out our Jeeps. Like monster truck get away with it because of the amount of power and torque they have. trucks and cars not so much. In this situation there was nothing that could be done to level out the Jeep

True. If you let off gas, and especially if you hit the brakes, you will nose dive. The inertia of the rotating wheels will pull down if you stop the rotation, just enough to shift momentum in gravity's favor. Watch a monster truck event and you can see this illustrated perfectly. You can hear them gas it to keep the front up, and see them stop the wheels when they point too far skyward.

You are supposed to hammer throttle to get the wheel/tire inertia to get front end up, to get front end down u slam brakes.
