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 Supercharger Update

I have had my Supercharger for about month now. I have put about 2000 kms on her so far. The mileage has dropped since the install. I was getting about 13.5L/100kms doing 120 km/hr. Now I get 14.5 - 15 L/100kms doing 120 km/hr. If you want more power you got to add more fuel. I am still amazed at how quiet the charger is. You can't hear it in the cab. The other thing that surprised me was how you can drive the jeep at a lower RPM and still have torque to climb hills. Before the install if the RPM's were below 2500 and I stepped on the gas, the jeep barely moved. I had to drop a gear get the RPM's up before she really started moving. After install the I have had the RPM's down around 2000 - 2200 and she still accelerates. The main reason I installed the supercharger was for the torque increase to help with towing my sled trailer in the mountains. i put her in cruise control and she just climbs, but the gas drops pretty quickly as well. hahahaha Well this install was to tie me over until I purchase a truck to do my pulling. $3000 for supercharger and $1000 install is a lot cheaper then $50000 truck. If anyone has questions just ask.
