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.

Gave up my girl for a newer model!

Today I brought home a 2008 JK X in Steel Blue. Only problem is I had to give my my TJ. What do you think?

Congrats! I like 'em both.

I see you opted for the hardtop the second time around. How did your TJ's soft top fare through the Minnesota winters?

Default Hardtop
The soft top did not make it through the winter and was one of the major factors in getting the JK. I loved the TJ, but driving the JK around for a day. I am glad to see it go.Click image for larger version Name: IMG_0018.jpg Views: 570 Size: 97.3 KB ID: 12878

Have to say I like the TJ better, but I'm biased because I myself have always regreted my TJ trade-in.

Default Gen 3
In truth, this is my third generation wrangler. I too always regret to some degree the trade, but in the MN winters, I want to trust the rig at all times.

I do have plans for mods, but that will also wait until winter, when I am shut in and heated in the garage. I will keep you posted.
