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.

where to start?

Default where to start?

Thanks for reading-

I have an 07 steel blue unlimited. I am new to the forum and new to the jeep world as well. As my tires near the end of their life i feel it is finally time to begin upgrading my jeep and give it that aggressive look i've always wanted it to have. I basically have $1600 to spend on wheels,tires, lift and other mods. (for now of course haha)

After seeing all of your great jeeps I don't know where to begin

Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks!

Look on the billboard and see if anyone is parting out a jeep, it may help you find some good stuff cheap!

For now it's only going to be my DD. I was thinking 33" because after that I feel like there is too many modifications to be done to go any bigger for my price range

since you mentioned its a unlimited, is it a x, sahara, or rubicon? You can pick up stock rubi springs and shocks for cheap. Also a set of stock rubi wheels and tires (32").

Or search diffrent vendors for a wheel and tire combo you like and less than 1k, then get a 2.5bb from TF and be under budget.

Always remember once the bug bites, the itch wont stop!

Sorry forgot to mention that it is an x. I have been looking wheel/tire packages mainly at discount tire direct. What is the best place to look?
