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 don't have the GPS coordinates, but it isn't really that far out of the way. The first picture is Cinnamon Pass, the next is Oh! Point near Engineer Pass, and the third is Engineer Pass, all of which are part of the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway in Colorado: http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2105/travel.html. Lake City, Ouray, or Silverton are all places that you could access it from.

Here is another pic from Oh! Point that my wife took. We were also there in June of 2007. The Jeep is not ours but I really like the shot. I would have to say that of all the places we have been off-road, the San Juans are about my favorite.



One more from the same location. This one is a panorama that my wife stiched together.

You live only about 12 hours from the location in the photos. A lot closer than the alps and a lot easier to get your Jeep too!

I can contribute a couple:

Garden of the Gods viewing Pike's Peak:


Same spot, different angle:


After Tin Cup pass from St.Elmo to Tin Cup. Looking back at some of the mountains that we left behind...


Taking a break from the roads, found a cave (behind the camera) off of Old Stage Road:


One of the trails off of Old Stage Road that goes deep into the mountains:

I wish it was only 12 hours.

More like 22. Will have to plan accordingly.

Just got back from a cruise, and we took a Jeep tour around the island of St. Thomas. To my surprise, we got JKs.






Here's a more picturesque St. Thomas photo, sans Jeep though

Those are some great pictures, driley. It looks like you had the same great weather that I had.

Here's a couple more from a trip up Rice Peak near Tucson that I took yesterday. Both are from the top.
