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 My lifted red rock soft top





I went with the superlift 4 inch and Nitto mud grapplers 35 12.5 on the stock 18 inch wheels. It sits up pretty good as you can see with Jess standing next to it she is about 5'7". The ride is so so a little rough and the tires make some noise but I have had worse. I was going to go with 37's but i do a ton of highway miles for work and figured the 35's would be more suited for the task. I have only had the Jeep for 4 weeks and I love it. It has about 1500 miles on it and already its getting torn apart and made better. I still have some gauges to put in a dash pod and once those are in I will get pics up. I'm not new to off roading however this is my first Jeep. I have been drag race'n for years and also have a turbo'd 95 mustang with 306 inchs that go's 10's on pump gas so getting some more power out of the 3.8 is going to be fun as well!

Nice looking Jeep. Lets see some pictures of the mustang also. I am making a switch from a mustang to a jeep as the mustang is not capable of handling the winter roads. I agree it should be fun trying to make the jeep a little faster.

the turbo is 70mm and the rest of the kit I fabricated! The car has gone 10.9's at 127mph on drag radials and pump gas at only 11psi with 306 inches and iron world products heads. I currently have 16 psi and 116 octane in it and in the spring will take it back to the track and see if we can get in the 9's with it! Might need to go to a full slick but I want to do it on a true street tire. The car has a c4 and trans brake with the 2 step. Hangs both wheels on drag radials and cuts 1.48 sixty foot as a best so far however the pass was blown as the car was to lean and i had to back out. I run Accel DFI and a PLX wideband o2 setup to tune the DFI. I am basically teaching myslef to tune this DFI and its a long process. Hopefully this summer I'll get it really figured out. So far two sets of blown head gaskets because of timeing issues with pump gas but I now run copper and stay conservative. The car has a full aereomotive fuel system with A1000 pump and 72lb an hour MSD injectors that will support over 1000 hp. On the dyno with 11psi and pump gas the car put down about 500 rear wheel hp but it is very conservative as far as boost timeing and fuel go's. I welded in a 10 point cage with RCI platinum harness's to stay legal for the e.t. The car also still has the stock leather interior with the mach 460 sound system, in dash dvd player, power windows locks and seats etc. however I had to remove the rear seat for the cage!
