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.

I think I converted the Wifey

Default I think I converted the Wifey

so we went grocery shopping on Saturday morning and after a year+ of her pissing and moaning and complaining about how much time/money/ research I spend on the Jeep. Low and behold there is a stock X on the ugly ass wheels and 28" tires parked in the HEB parking lot, I saddle up next to my Jeeps brother from a different mother, and get out and my wife starts laughing, I ask her whats so funny and she was laughing at how little the other Jeep was. She then told me to take a picture! Then she asked if I hoped the other Jeep owner would come out while we were inside shopping? She has never showed any interest before, but now I think she is starting to understand. Mines on the left on BFG MT 32" and a OME 2" lift, nothing excessive but enough to matter. Much more to come "the light is green"

Man theres a huge difference. I may just have to do a two inch lift and get a rougher tire. Mine came with stock 32s. Looks good

Same over here..... Wife crackin jokes, talking sh@t. THEN........

The other day we pulled up to a brand new bare bones stock unlimited jeep pulling a trailer full of camping gear and ohv's, (we were in her car) she looks over at it and says I wish we were in our jeep. I didn't comment....... I just smiled and gave him the jeep wave.

Ever since then I think she has a change of heart and actually starts looking at other jeeps and knit picks them apart and compares them to ours......

If anything I would say I have a green light as well! ( nothing verbal but from her actions I would say YES

You're only running 32"s? Those look a lot bigger to me for some reason.

The wife never 'complained' about the time and money, but did not really understand .... until I took her up to Uwharrie and run some trails. I was wondering how to ask her, if she liked it, as I got back in after air'ing up the tires - but before I said a word she said "I think you need this lifted and bigger tires" I pumped my fist and said ohhhh yeah Baby!

So now a lift and 35's are in my near future!
