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.

Well slapped these on for the hell of it to do some half ass clearance checks...








Control Arm angle isnt quite what I wanted, but i didnt want to put them on to my tranny crossmember so this may have to do... I will ponder on it for a bit...





Track Bar bracket tacked in








Tested my color matching ability... Im obviously color blind...

Your build is inspiring me. I keep thinking I'm going to sell mine, but every time I get in and drive it...I just can't. So maybe a 14B/D60 with ARB's and a small stretch are in my future.

Keep on keepin on.

i cant say about the 40s but ik the 37s run true so i would assume the 40s do too. The irock 37s look a little bit bigger then my mtr37s

i believe they are bias, id have to look. there my buddies i just stole them to experiment a little and when i measured them i was around 35. I looked at the side and it said 37x14 something. Its not a big deal I was just curious, that seemed pretty small i may investigate more tomorrow.
