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.

Merry Christmas! Crash!

Well I can't lie, I went to grab my phone when it started ringing. I couldn't get it out of my coat pocket and the traffic came to a complete stop from about 35 mph and I never touched the brakes and SLAM! It was a delivery truck for a local lumber company. Thank The Lord the driver was terrified, all he wanted was to leave, no cops, no nothin and he had no damage so I said,
I am good too. So he left. He must have been in trouble at work.
I am trying to figure out what to do now.

It hit or made perfect contact rite on the front bumper rebar. I can't believe no air bag deploy. It was hard hit.

Good news is that you and the other guy are okay. The damage looks pretty minimal, so it should be pretty easy to fix. If you don't want to upgrade to a bumper, I'm sure you could find a stock bumper for super cheap.

The air bags sensor should be directly behind the grill, so that's why ur air bags didn't deploy.... Mine didn't deploy in this.....

Don't matter how bad the accident was.... If the sensor don't get jarred around hard enough the airbags won't deploy..I walked away from the jeep with a single scratch on my face..... It's a good thing cause it prevents injuries due to the airbags..... They work when u need them to tho....

I think there is an attack on JKs because last week I got rear ended by a pizza delivery guy in a 2012 VW golf. Totaled his car there wasn't even a scratch on my girl. Gotta love having a hitch on it cause that's what he hit and even that wasn't damaged.
