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 Got rear ended

I got rear ended on Saturday 6-13-09. One day before my birthday. I was so pissed after it happen.

It all took place in Mundelein going east on Hawley. A man I was behind came to a stop at the railroad tracks for no reason. There were no flashing lights the gate wasn't down. He just stopped to look both ways before going over the tracks. I gave him the horn to go, asking myself why did he come to a stop. Just then I get hit from behind by a 17 year old girl, new driver.

I got out of my New Jeep and said F**K me!! The girl was so upset with herself. saying "I'm so sorry, I so sorry".

The police came took a report gave the girl a ticket.

uhhh... that's not such a bad thing in my opinion, (only b/c is was so minor and no one was hurt) that's just a pay check from an insurance company that will probably cover the cost for a new steel bumper! When I was 16 my car got hit while it was parked. It scratched the bumper and put a very small crack in the headlight, needless to say I buffed out the scratch and the crack wasn't noticeable nor caused any issues with the light, and I walked off into the sunset with a check for $1000! Pretty awesome when you're 16.

Granted it is a PITA

Breaking things and not having someone hurt is not all that bad if someone else pays for the damage. If you choose not to upgrade, I have an extra bumper you can have.

Unless you have to pay a deductible. In which case it kind of sucks.
