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.

What was done to your JK this week?

I need help with some numbers:

I will buy the Open Country AT2 but don't know between 265/70R17 or 285/70R17 (my stock tires are 255/75R17 with Moab original wheels).

1) the 265 will turn more every miles/Km to do the same distance, so does that make any good or bad, do I need some calibration or is it fine?

2) same question about the 285, they will turn less every miles/Km so is there a lost of power or anything bad about that size? New calibration or fine?

3) do anybody know for sure if 285/70R17 with stock Moab (unlimited sport) and no wheel spacers and .75" coil spacers will rub??

4) how much mpg can I loose with the 285 (more or less)? I guess the 265/70R17 doesn't make any difference on mpg?

Thanks a lot guys

Wrong place to ask this question dude! I see you've already posted it in a tire tread, that should do just fine.

Used a set of Hi Lift tube mounts to mount my hi lift jack on the my tire carrier vertically. Very solid and super satisfied.

Installed new shocks and put 2.5 coils in the front with my spacers was going to do the rear but it was rather level.. And rough country coils are just so soft and didn't want the rear to sag. Teraflex shocks lasted 3 months and they all blew up.. Grr but this is what came out as you can see in the one picture it was just so low in the front it looked ridiculous
