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.

I had 15x10's on my 2007 and 17x9's on my 2011 ... I preferred the 15x10s to the 17's all day. I am looking at a 2012 if I can sell my ram. Does anyone know if they changed the brakes on the 2012?

The smaller jeep is my 11 and the bigger one is my 07 and yes they were both silver... Does anyone know if they changed the brakes on the 2012? Click image for larger version

Here are a few more angles showing the difference between 15's and 17's The downside to 17's wheel is IFS based offsets or backspacing vs. the old school look of 15's...
The TOYO's I ran on my 2007 were the 37x14.50x15s and they are nominally cheaper than the 37x12.50x17 version Toyo muds... If I do it again, I'll do 37's on 17x9 with custom back spacing for wheel choices in the future. The Toyo's are by far the best tires I've ever actually put on the street. Off road no complaints; I prefere Toyo Muds to any other all terrains I ever ran. Quiet and they last...

Like them. Nice and low profile. I see you made your own bumper, so figuring you fab'd the rails as well.

Nice Job... I am looking to do the same. I was going to use PSC Rico Steps with the Rubi rails.. Did you cut and bend or was that a kit?
