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?

Lol I've seen it happen twice on two different rigs. One backed down the rock he was crawling and the pipes dug into the dirt and it bent them 180 degrees and ripped all of the hangers out to the cat. The other pancaked the tips on both sides. That is if you do some pretty serious wheeling

I did that to mine too, a shop bent it all back into shape for a few hours of labor. The tips are ovalish now, but I think it adds character!

Yea I know lol.... But I beat the hell out of the old exhaust getting if off so now I am stuck with this one. The tips were a lot bigger that I had thought. But I will just take them off when I get the chance to wheel it!

Default Mickey Thompson Classic III's

Hey, after 2 years of waiting for enough rubber to be gone on the original wheels on my 2012, I pulled the trigger on a set of Mickey Thompson Classic III's wrapped in the MT ATZ P3's.

I didn't want to lift, so wanted 285's, the dudes put on 265's and didn't tell me, I didn't check. Now they won't change 'em.

Read all about it here My Tire District Experience | One guy's trip into a consumer experience nightmare. and let everyone know how these guys treat a Jeeper. Thanks.

So would I be better of with the exhaust coming out the rear or sides? I can actually swap this out on amazon. They do have the same exhaust with 4in tips. I will be doing some wheeling in the future ...Thanks !

I run mine underneath with no muffler. I mean its your jeep do what you will. Just get a catback and run it underneath the front of the rear axle. Thats what i would do. That way you wont wreck your new muffler and tips.

Just returned from deployment and installed all the goodies I ordered while away...

- Body Armor tube doors
- Tuffy Rear Security Deck
- Rancho 9000xl shocks
- Synergy ball joints

Replacing the ball joints royally SUCKED! Thought it was going to be a 4 hour job and it ended up taking me twice that, and three runs to autozone as well.

The tube doors, shocks, and the security deck rock!

Hahah It gets easier with practice. I'm on my third set (stock, alloys, and warranty replacement alloys), and I have to replace a passenger lower again because I didn't fix my alignment after the last set . Takes me about 3.5 hours now with full tear down and reassembly at this point
