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.

Not a Rubicon. Just talked to a salesman and asked where the rest of the MW3 stuff is. He flat out said its not a MW3. Just a "clone". Seriously. This crap really pisses me off for some reason.

Big dealerships try to make a buck off anything that can up charge anything... I used to work for a Ford store that would do a lift and tires package and charge an additional $10k easily.

However, to say they are all scum is a bit harsh. I'm in the car business, and while I will say that some of the people who work in the business give it a bad name, not all of us are trying to suck the customer dry or saying "there's a sucker born every minute fellas"

Just letting fellow Jeepers know that if you want a deal on your next one, PM me. I'm at a place called Autoflex Leasing. By far the best place I have ever worked.

Well, it would be really unfortunate if someone didn't study it enough and thought they were buying a modified MW3 and instead got a strange half-clone conversion.

That big ass 35 is just hanging out on the tailgate. They used a spidertrax spacer to make it fit. This thing is a joke. D30 axles. Can't tell what lift. They are moving vehicles around right now so I'm not able to look at it closely anymore.

Damn thieves....to the uneducated consumer this probably seems like a great deal.

"Clone" wow...just wow. I wonder what Chrysler corp would say about that? It is not being marketed as a "Clone" right? Talk about your false advertisement!!

The dealership near here sells their jeeps lifted too. I was talking to them and the lift package was $5500 extra, so I was asking about it and the salesman told me they do a rubber spacer lift and wheels and tires for that much. WTF

Nice looking rig but there's no way I'd ever shell that kind of money for it. I'd rather spend that building it myself and get the added satisfaction of knowing I did it.

That's just crazy - I don't even know what else to say...

$49,896.00 is what they are asking for the Sahara JK8 at the dealer here in town. Completly stock except for the JK8 conversion.

$33,000. was the sticker on the Sahara before the conversion.
If they added the wheels, tires, BB lift, hood, and MW3 badges they could ask $65K for it too.
