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.

Default 'Military' look

Asking for help. I have a 2008 4door JK. It is Jeep Green. I am not going to lift it at all. I want to put rims on it that look as 'military' as I can get and as agressive looking but roadworthy tire as possible (2 young kids). 33's would be ideal as long as they don't rub. Suggestions? Thank you!

I love my Dick Cepek Fun Country II's. Decently aggressive for an all terrain. I have over 40K on em, and they still have a good bit of tread left. I'll go bigger next time with a new lift, but only because I'm ready to go to Stage 2. This has been my daily driver for 3 years, and I've got NO complaints. I spend most of my time on the sand pulling other people out, so these tires have been the perfect fit. Might make it my second career

Default Look at the J8

If you're looking for military, have you seen the J8 MILSPEC? Check out the AEV site with the details:

As mention above, go with the wheels from stockton wheel. They look about as plane jane as you can get (ie: militarish).

Also, ditch the stock front bumper and go with a plane looking stubby, like the J8 shown above. Then get yourself some stars, and put the proper numbers on the hood (plenty of post about what goes there, model, year, etc).

Oh, and as for tires, go stall and skinny. Something like a 255/80R17 or something.

FC IIs are a good tire--not the tall, military looking type, but practical for safe driving on and off road ...

I kind of tried to go that way with my TJ. I really liked it. I still really miss it actually!

I think skinny tires are a good idea!
