Notices
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.

Cool or what

This one has been lost a long time ago. It’s not even a mall parking lot Jeep it’s a beach cruiser. I don’t even think it’s ever touched sand. On Miami Beach you are not allowed to drive on the beach.

But I still think it's pretty cool. not for me but for me to look at.

I'm thinking this guy knew enough about Jeeps to want to make his look like a Jeepster. And if he is in to moding his Jeep that much, he probably takes it off road, or at least did in the past.

The Jeep experience is not only about going off road, but about the doorless/topless experience. The are a lot of guys that take their Jeeps off road but never take the doors/top off. They are really missing out.

I think it looks bad ass.

And as far as safety - based on the crashes I've worked over the years, a high speed roll over or side impact does not seem to work out well for the person in the Wrangler. Could just be the ones I've seen though.

Looks good, but I use my roll bar to tie my dog up.
I humbly disagree!! My roll bar savied my bacon after being t-boned and rolled 3 times!!

Thing looks plenty capable to go trail riding and also enjoy some beautiful weather. I personally wouldn't take the bars off of my Jeep since I like the look, but I also like this guys setup. Not every Jeep is some extreme rock crawler and I like it that way.

Glad you came out of that in one piece. I was saying that, because I believe the wrangler has 2 out of 5 stars for collision safety rating. I may be wrong, but the roll bars are not called "roll bars" by Chrysler.

Nope. Removing the roll bars is like putting on a new grill that doesn't have 7 slots. Some things you just don't mess with.

Not a fan without the roll cage. Which brings me to my next comment...I hope you NEVER roll it. If you do, you and anyone with you will surely die a horrible death.
