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?

It's a built Dana 30 front and 44 rear factory axles. I also have an Aussie locker in the front with ten chromoly axle shafts front and rear. With how frequently I use my rig (rock krawl about once a month), I decided to build the Dana 30 and not swap to a pro rock or g2. Basically, I was very fortunate to get the 07 X with the tow package, which is why I have 4.10 gearing and no one else does with newer models. I do not want to re gear what-so-ever, so this is why I'm torn between 35's and 37's. Even with my diablosport tuner, it would be best to re gear with 37's for throttle purposes. I'm just trying to get others opinions and what they have done with similiar builds on their 2 doors. If I decide on 37's, I will still run the 4.10 gearing.
This is my auto with 4:10s and 40s... Don't really mind the minor lag.. It's only minor compared to 4:88s and I wouldn't even go that low, I would rather run 4:53s but it's not even worth the money..

Why wouldn't you go to 4.88s?

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?!?!?!
Nice setup! If you can afford it, go 37's! With the wheeling I do, 4:10's wasn't low enough gearing for me with 35's so I'm going to 5:13's. I have the fantastic 3.8 engine like yours so that's the only place I can get good low end torque. Once I am rich and famous ill get a hemi in it but gears are a little cheaper!

Today Serenity got XHD Hood Catches by Rugged ridge.

Easy to put on. They look great and they hold the hood down quite securely. No more hood futter at highway speeds.
