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 First Sunny Day... First Compliment

Yesterday was the first sunny day since I bought the Jeep. Nothing like the Pacific Northwest for dark skies and rain! Anyhow, I also got my first compliment. A fellow Jeepster stopped and was staring and said how much he loved the color.

Said that he owned one back in the early 90's. I bet he goes to a dealer within a month!

I am thinking about pulling the doors, two days of 60+ and sun in Febuary is rare.

both of our jeeps are sitting in the garage, waiting for the cold to go away.

Since we not have an unlimited for a second DD, I think the Rubi will have some significant time with doors missing this summer.

I see that mopar has some real nice tube doors available. So I need to find out who makes them as the theat would be a lower cost option than ordering from mopar.

Looking forward to a fun summer.

Good idea! It's a balmy 36F out there right now.. I really need to go wash the salt off the Jeep.

Weather report for Oregon is that winter may be done. Rain starts again Tuesday though. And that is winter if you ask me!

It was nice and warm here in en cal for last week and last night it decided to start raining again. Looks like its gonna be rainy for a bit. I seriously can't wait to have some nice 70+ weather so I can commute topless and doorless.

Oregon roads are like the mountain roads of the Sierra's. That is why a Rubicon as a daily driver is almost required.

No salt problems out here though. Just road grime that never goes away.

Maybe if we actually paved our roads. Instead they just patch a few places here and there and call it a day.

In Oregon, the MT stands for Mountain Terrain, not Mud Terrain!
