Had I not come to the Off Road Impact Show, I would have missed seeing some great new entires into the Jeep JK Wrangler marketplace including a basic 3″ lift kit by RevTech, a 3″ lift kit by Cage Off-Road, the very first viable roof rack system by Offroad Logic/Landrunner, and a very complete leveling kit as well as great new flat tow bar system and exhaust kit by Currie Enterprises.

Last week, Off Road Evolution decided to put their brand new 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Sahara to the test by driving it over 1,700 miles to visit family in Missouri, play hard at Disney, Oklahoma, and then drive it all the way back to their home in sunny southern California.
Now, just so that we’re all on the same page here, we’re talking about driving a JK Unlimited automatic that’s been lifted with a Full Traction 4″ Ultimate short arm kit, is sitting on top of 37″ Toyo Open Country A/T’s and is running J.E. Reel Drivelines but is otherwise stock when it comes to its drivetrain. It’s still running a stock Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles, stock gears, no lockers and it only has a 2.72:1 Command Track transfer case. And, aside from the over-drive being rendered completely useless due to the 37’s and being pulled over by a cop once just so he could get a better look at this awesome JK, Mel tells me that it drove great, rode great and even performed way better than he thought it would on and off the trail.
For SEMA 2006, Full Traction had a total of five different lift kits available for the 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler including a 2″ ECONO Lift, 3″ Economy Suspension System, 3″ PREMIUM Suspension System, 3″ ULTIMATE Suspension System and a 4″ ULTIMATE Suspension System. And, with a total of seven Jeep JK Wranglers sitting on top of one of these suspension systems, Full Traction was able to grab the title for having the most products on display at the show.
Even though Rancho only had one Jeep JK Wrangler on display at SEMA 2006, it was without question the one Jeep JK Wrangler that everyone was talking about.
Seeing Donahoe Racing at SEMA 2006 wasn’t so much of a surprise but seeing them there with a 5″ lifted Stone White Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited definitely was. Make no mistake, Donahoe Racing is no rookie when it comes to developing high end off-road suspension products, but this JK was most certainly the first time that they’ve made a stab at the Jeep industry in quite some time. However, after looking at what they came up with, you’d never know it.
I just got word today that Bestop now has a majority of their 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler parts and accessories available for sale. Granted, most of these products are pretty much what you’d expect to see from Bestop, such as a Bikini Top and a Sailcloth Replace-a-Top but there are a couple new things I thought would be worth mentioning.
If you’re planning to lift your Jeep at all, I would highly recommended that you budget in the cost of new front and rear drive lines. And, to date, the only company that I am aware of that manufactuers and sells aftermarket drive lines for the Jeep JK Wrangler is J.E.Reel Drive Lines.
If you’re one of the many people who just love the new PUREJEEP Crawler front and rear bumpers but think they’re going to be out of the reach of your wallet, think again!
Over the past week and a half, I had been getting a lot of people asking if I could get my hands on some real world flex shots of a hooked up Jeep JK Wrangler and if at all possible, flex shots on the trail. No more photochopped JK’s and no more JK’s looking pretty on the pavement – they wanted to see the real thing.
If you haven’t seen them already, I just uploaded a bunch of Jeep JK Wrangler pics from the 2006 Off Road Expo and they can now be seen in the Project-JK photo gallery. Unfortunately, I’m sorry to say there weren’t nearly as many Jeep JK Wranglers at the show as I was expecting to see, especially in lieu of the fact that several manufacturers on display there had already released products for it.
