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.

Hmmm...something smells fishy.

So while waiting at the dealership on some warranty work they had this nice looking rig sitting there. They call it a MW3 JK-8 conversion.

Now some things are missing from what I thought a MW3 package was. No bumpers, it's a base model on the inside, no power anything. Seats are the basic seats, no custom stitching. So I guess the badging on the side is all you get. Now for the best part...

I agree, they don't call dearlerships "stealerships" for nothing now! They can smell a sucker from miles away!

It's a base JKU. I'm trying to find a salesman so I can find out more about this joke. Where's the MW3 goodies?

It looks like they just ordered a couple parts off the MW package. Like the hood and the decal and called it a MW3. I can not stand dealerships or the people who work at them. They are all scum.

It's cool but not 60k cool. I saw one at my local dealership last winter. I'm waiting to see what the four door brute package goes for from AEV.

Those arent even the cod wheels and tires. Looks like they are just trying to lie to get more money for a j8 conversion. I would send this to chrysler if they are an authorized chrysler dealer.

That's not even the same hood. That's just a basic AEV hood. The MW3's don't have the side vents.

Wow. Awesome rig, extravagant price!

Edit: does it have the Rubicon running gear even? If not, that's a damn mess!
