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?

Did you remove them before spraying or just tape off in place? Also, did you scuff or prime them before spraying? Thx

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I should have been clearer in my original post. My rig is fully built to run tires up to 40's. I just have not decided how big I want to go. It is not my daily driver and I trailer it when we go on trips.

Build:
07 JK X with 4.10 gears/automatic
-diablosport predator tuning system
-artec front axle truss and gussets
-front and rear adams's driveshafts
-rock crawler 3.5 x factor lift with 1" front level kit
-rugged ridge flat fender flares
-American racing punisher 17x9 rims with 4.5" backspacing

I am currently running 33's which I had with my prior 2" lift. Now I'm stuck between going to 35's or 37's bc of the small price difference and looks. Basically, I want to be able to purchase this last set of tires and never touch this rig again (I'm going to start building a buggy for my fiancé).

My dilemma is: most of all my friends and forum members tell me to go to 35's instead of 37's as I have a 2 door and I do not like the stuffed tire look. I use the jeep for rock krawling only and it sees minimal hwy miles on the weekends or local shows.

Here is a pic of it currently with the build stated above and 33's. so now I need your help! 35's or 37's?!?!?!
