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.

Smile JK Wrangler and my Caravan (called Camper in the USA)

Just wondering how many other JEEP-lovers are also using their JK Wrangler for towing a caravan? My JK is doing a great job taking me and the van to many interesting places around Australia. Once I find another wonderful spot, I just unhook the van and venture further into the Australian wilderness in my Big Red (Tessa) JK. Would be great to hear from others doing the same.

The difference in terms between American english and overseas english makes me laugh. I wouldn't have known what he was talking about if I hadn't seen like every Top Gear episode ever produced.

What a coincidence. I saw a Red (2dr though) JK towing a similarly sized size camper on the interstate today.

How well does you Jeep tow something like that? Seems aweful big.

Goes really well. Had a TJ before but was only able to tow less than a tonne. This one has no problems towing almost 2 tonnes of caravan (camper for you guys). It's automatic and consumption is about 13 - 14 litres per 100 km, Cheers Fips 52

I'm looking at doing the same thing in Australia with a KJ diesel 4 door and caravan in a couple of years.
