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 much happier-new wheels and tires

well after waiting almost two months for some KMC Enduros (long story)i ended up with the Pro Comp 7089's and BF Goodrich All Terrains 265/75/16. They only took two weeks to get here. i can't believe how much of a difference wheels and tires make. i know my jeep is too clean right now...just can't test out the tires yet...i got my 3 month old daughter with me and i don't really wanna sling her around in the back...don't think my wife would appreciate it either...gotta wait a little longer for that ...oh i also wanted the place where i ordered them from to install the TPMS sensors but they forgot to...i haven't had any problems with the computer yet...but the place where i ordered them from said they would reimburse me if i do get them installed...and added a couple of lights too
well here are the pics:
before with stock doughnuts:

after with new wheels and tires:

Yeah, looking good! I have the same wheels and it really does make it feel like a Jeep (even have the Jeep Green color--which is the proper color for a Jeep!).

Looks good. It is crazy how much better it looks. I did the same thing recently swapped out my stock steelies. And my wife says it looks like a real jeep now.
