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 for all the questions but my 2010 has nearly all the same mods and I have to convince myself on a daily basis not to trade up to a 2012 immediately, it is inevitable though.
No I have not driven a 3.8. All I can say is it drives great! It's has quick acceleration from a stop and to pass on the highway. Zero issue in the hills, I have run it up to 95 with it still pulling briskly. The CRC link really tightened up the handling, not that it was made for this, but I can pitch it into a corner hard enough to get the wheels squealing, stays flat, little or no body roll and full control.

I could not be happier with the outcome. Next is to upgrade the headlights and possibly driving light to the bumper.
