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.

Default Crash pic JEEP > RAM

Nobody was hurt. Some goon in a Ram was making a turn with tons of pavement space going 20mph and smashed into me almost head on while I was sitting at a stop sign . At first I assumed the driver was from England for trying to turn into an imaginary lane to the right of me. I asked if he slid on some ice but he said he was looking down to stop his clipboard from sliding off his passenger seat while turning (dummmmb). The Jeep was pretty much a tree in this incident. The bumper is an Olympic Cobra and it was just put on last month to replace the stock in which another toolbag destroyed by smashing into me. Note that my license plate was already bent down. The 2.5 ton Ram's bumper was smashed in half. Barely a scratch of scuff on the Jeep LOL. for Olympic bumpers and Jeeps.

No visible damage on yours?

Look closely at the front frame beams, as they are designed to collapse with impact.

Nothing visible. I'm most definitely going to have it checked out. (my cousin is a auto body guy)

The bumper is the tits. It doesn't weigh that much. I put it on myself without any help.

Did your airbag deploy?

And if the front frame members are deformed, they can be cut off and new ones welded on. Parts are available.
My dealer says they are 3 - 5 days away, and $600 apiece.

No and neither did his. I braced for impact and it went through my mind but nothing.
