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.

At least that's what I piece together, shit happens fast and I had a concussion.

I often am not wearing a seabelt while out wheeling or two tracking simply because nothing very technical is going on at that given moment. But reading stuff like this sure makes me think.... You never really know when something like this is going to occur.

Glad your okay, it sure sounds like it could have been a very bad scenario!

Glad you're okay - you can always rebuild a Jeep, feel lucky you didn't lose any parts or suffer irreparable damage.

Somehow that came out to be $13793.46 on the estimate. I imagine it will be totaled by my insurance now

I didn't think so either, guess I'll be switching some stock parts back in.

Must have bent a lot more up than it looked to have. I suppose the cost of a new roll bar, glass, misc. body panels, straightening/aligning everything, painting, labor yada yada all starts adding up fast.

Maybe you could buy it back real cheap and cut the hell out of it and make it a real beater.

It would be a salvage title. Plan to keep it forever because most likely you would have a hard time selling it.
