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.

NEWBIE :) My 07 Green Wrangler X on 38's

had to bump this to the top, as soon as i get rims, mine will be sitting this same way. Except with mickey thompson baja claws. Black 2 dr rubi.

Did you have to upgrade anything else such as drive shafts? etc? Also what backspacing on those rims?

HOLY CHIT!

IMO even 37s look a little big and out of place on a 2 door. 37= more pure badass though.

Looks pretty cool! I'm surprised those tires don't rub.

Hahaha 38's with 3.21 gearing. There is no way that thing could even get out of its own way offroad.

i've always heard that the stock d30 would be extremely stressed to handle 37's or bigger. how's everything holding up so far? any noticeable issue's going that large on the stock drive and axle shafts?

You guys make me laugh. You know that he does not wheel it. He has a stock spare, 3.21 gears and HUGE meats on stock axles. PO-SER

But its his ride to do with as he pleases. Just stop sucking his cyber cock and telling him that it is bad ass. It is ghey as fuck, but if thats what blows his skirt up, good for him.

I realize that not everyone wheels, nor wants to wheel, but telling someone that that truck will go over just about anything is just not true. Those tires will self clearence the fenders, the axle joints will pop under not too much strain, and when a flat happens, what will the plan then be... Use the stock spare?

IMHO If you cant affford the 5th wheel and tire, save your money till you can, then at least as you are posing all over God's green acre, you wont look like a tool doing it.
