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.

35" Duratracs on procomp 8179's... I'm in love... 3.21 gears and a 6spd.. Thought the power would be much worse.. It ain't bad at all!!

Nice looking rig, I ran 33's with 3.21's for a couple of years, it is not good, but it is not nearly as bad as others think.

I have been running my 6spd with 3.21's for quite some time now. It's not racecar and I am fine with it

Looks great! I'm glad to hear that there is others out there with 3.21s. I'm still with 33s but just because you're a jeep-er, I'll take your word for it about the power.... Now just got to convince the wife!

Looks great by the way

Jeep looks good, man. When you re-gear you'll say it was the best thing you've ever done, just like the rest of us!

Here's a better pic... I just had it on the highway and could easily keep it over 70 staying in 5th gear... I hardly felt a power loss with these tires.. Almost feels like stock. I am so happy.. I'm sure I will regear eventually, especially after I hit some trails. But until then I won't be loosing any sleep over it!

Looks good all blacked out!

I drove with 3.21s and 35 for a while and it wasnt much worse than the stock 32s. I usually took the spare off and the back seat out for added performace
