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.

I've got a stock locking D44 rear in the Xterra and it has proven to be more than capable for the kind of wheeling I want to do.

I miss my JK, but I don't miss the anxiety that came with owning it.

If this could materialize it would be awesome..Dealers phone blowing up all day with pissed off JK owners..keeping on until they admit they're mistake and help this guy...I'll be subscibing to this thread and watching it, but this might be a simple yet effective plan

Can the OP confirm it is infact a local dealer?
I left a clue on pg 14
I might add that the OP hasn't posted yet so he might have his reasons. Hopefully Jeep will step in and help resolve this.

So from what I have read our friend with the burned jeep has been dealing with this for over a month. In 2 days of linked video to jeeps FB page jeep wants to contact our friend where they didn't want to previously.

I should let everyone know that after posting the video on Chrysler's facebook page, I have been contacted directly by them. Unfortunately they think it is my jeep, I need to get in contact with the OP. So if the OP sees this, please get ahold of me.

I finally found a signal under a tree next to a big rock. I live in Overland Park, KS. The dealer is in a near by town that also starts with an O. Chrysler knows who I am since Chrysler Legal has already contacted me to say they are not involved. Thanks to everyone for all you done. I'll try to check back in soon.
