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.

gears, shafts, covers, sleeves...

Your front axle is going to like you.

(I did gussets, sleeves, mini-skids, RCVs, ProSteers and a Krawler tie rod. Some of the best money I've spent on my JK.)

Looking forward to hearing your post-installation report and some photos . . .

Edit: 37s on factory Rubicon 4.10s? I stand corrected lol, your re-ratio is the best money you could have spent on your Unlimited.

Hell fawkin yeah!! That's what I'm talkin about!! Was awesome, then during the break-in ride we drove past some road work at a stoplight and work stopped to look at the Jeep... little do they know what's under it.

And not to brag... but both axles, textbook gear pattern, perfect lash, first shot on each. That little call to G2 really paid dividends! On that note, any JK Rubi who want 5.13 G2 gears installed, make me an offer.
