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.

Got a Hemi for the Rubi (literally + a few $)

Oh well. Gonna miss the Rubi but looking forward to 372 HP. I'll keep tabs on the jeep community of course.

What? What? What?! You need a manual transmission for that type of car . . .
Sharp car though.

Agree, but is intended for total family usage (none of which can drive a stick besides me).
Oh well. Funny that the 6 speed in the challenger is actually an upcharge. If I had got the SRT - that would have been 6 speed or nothing. 425 hp in that booger.

I would love an SRT, but there is no way i would go witout my Jeep to do it.

Especially in Western New York State. I cringe everytime i see one go by plastered with road salt

Man, you must be loaded. Most guys just buy the motor to put in their jeep.
But you buy the whole car.





Congrats

Ohh that would have been nice.

I like manual transmissions because that alleviates a lot of the "Hey, can I take your vehicle?" questions. Surprisingly there aren't very many people that can drive a manual vehicle.

You'll miss the jeep. I got rid of a new 2010 Camaro SS six speed for this jeep. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Camaro, but this jeep (my first) is more fun!

BTW - nice car

sorry but even if your family can't drive stick, when you purchase a car like that, its time they learn... buying that in auto is like buying a Rubicon and saying "oh my family doesn't offroad so take off the factory lockers, sway bar disco, and put sahara side steps on it"

the only reason i'm saying this tho is because i'm totally jealous and would love to rip around in one of those anyday!

looks awesome, never seen a blue one, you are one lucky dude

Stay off the trails until you change the tires and wave as you blow by us
