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.

The pictures really don't do the transformation justice.

Looks great.
Would look good on my Sahara to.
Do the 15" rims clear the break lines etc... nothing catching ?
What the back spacing ?
Whats the ride like compared to stock.
I like my 18" Sahara rims but also like what you've now got.
Maybe I should run two sets of wheels
12.5 wide whats that in mm 310's ?
That would put them beyond the arches for me, not allowed over here.

Looks great - I have Duratrac's as well and I love them (over 40K miles on them so far - still holding up well). You just need to do something about that front bumper...
