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.

about a 1/4" plate will do that. The factory plastic crap wouldn't withstand an impact from a shopping cart.

Good to know the bumper I am ordering is so tough. I love the Dura Tracs, great tires.

Wow Skippman, total bummer about being in an accident. Pretty cool that the bumper and tire carrier helped prevent more damage than what could have been. Dang, and right before the Bison ranch run. Make sure you get a good body shop to check it out for a frame damage...sometimes a good hit can bend stuff below also. I feel for ya.

That being said...I think I will order the Expedition One bumper tire carrier when the time comes! It did a great job, Wow. That liberty looks totaled!

Wow. Definitely have a frame shop check it out. It would suck to end up with a bent jeep that visibly doesn't look hurt.

Oh, and nice ZS sticker.

The lift is what really saved your JK. The bumpers did not match, and your bumper won over the radiator.

If you have the same bumper with no lift I would suspect that you would have sustained more damage. Also the Libby absorbed all the energy, which prevented injurys.

The insurance company want to discuss if you were hurting or going to see the doctor. They want to verify you are not hurt which lowers their liability.

So how many vehicles total were involved? Looks like maybe a truck behind the Lib.
