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 figure I will be at 100K in another 2 years. I have had to replace the thermostat and temp sensor, but that is it for the engine. I anticipate this will be a low problem engine, which is good, because I plan on keeping my Jeep a while.

Nice to hear that my jeep will last long I only have 4k miles on it lol at first I was comparing the Jeep to the FJ because I didn't know anything about wheelin haha the salesman told me the JK was junk and it would last more than 75K without major problems. I'm completely more satisfied with the JK I don't think I will buy any other high platform vehicle.

Thanks for posting. It seems all to often that on many truck/car forums, folk come out only to vent on what a POS their this or that is. It really bugs me and at times you do start to second guess quality when all you read are these posts. I think we should have a sticky post your "mileage milestones" thread where people can post hitting 100, 150, 200K on thier odometers and list what minor issues they may have had up to that point.

KEEP IT AT 100K plus. We don't want to pan through 10,000,000 pages of "I hit 25,000 miles and no issues"!
