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.

Chalk line 'em and see what will give you the most even wear. With tires that expensive, you'll want the best PSI for tire wear as opposed to MPG. Most folks run 28-30 psi.

Yes I hope to cut them like the thread my friend "TheonlyRedHeadJK" did. I like the look of them painted and if I may have to replace them anyway I'll risk trimming the fronts especially.

I also will replace the rear bumper with a tire swing and cut or replace the front bumper as well.

Put the 17x9 -12mm and 315-70-17 Duratracs on last night. Bone stock JK just picked up Wed. Def rub the front bumper and air dam they will both be replaced. Beyond that I hammered the pinch seam back just for good measure but there was plenty of room. MPG instantly went down 4 or so lol

Trimmed the front bumper, still had a slight rub at full turn - it was catching the airdam slightly, so removed it. All good for now!

Fenders are clear turn to turn. I've driven over speed bumps, no problems. I mainly drive on the beach for my offroading - so I may eventually do a leveling kit, or maybe nothing for awhile.

On a related note, with the 3.6's increased power, the better gearing of the 5spd auto, and the optional 3.73 - I am happy with the power even with the 35s on. Gets in 5th gear over 60mph on the flats. After driving the 3.8 automatic with 33s feels like a race truck haha
