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.

How fast have you had your jeep???

I like to move it slowly, topless and doorless .... On the way for wheeling or hunting 100-120 km/h. After - not comfortable.

Every time I am in Canada on the QEW everyone is going fast!
If you are going 75mph then people are passing you on the left are right, seriously it is dangerous to go the speed limit because you will cause an accident by going to slow!

Similar over here in Aus, we work on a demerit point system. When you get your full license you are issued 12 points and can loose point for different things i.e not wearing a seat belt, talking on your mobile phone and speeding of course. With speeding it's in brackets like between 9 and 14 km over the limit you loose 2 points and get a $150 fine, you then have double demerits on long weekends were you loose twice the points (unlucky for me I got busted and lost 4 points on a long weekend). We also have the HOON law were if you are doing 30 or 40 km over you automatically loose your car for 28 days and you also loose your license they then charge a fee per day your car is impounded and then after the 28 days the fee goes up. BTW the max speed in Australia is 110 km were posted

Sure did. The hwy part is easy, 90mph only last until the first increase in grade, small hill, overpass, slight breeze, possibly the wrong song on satellite radio, it doesn't take much to "slow down" a 4 door on 40"s. Now getting it to stop, that definitely takes the one ton brakes on the ProRock 60's. The offroad part actually takes some formal training to drive fast and safe over rough terrain, and it helps to have about $10k+ in suspension designed to handle that kind of driving.
