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.

Heres my JK with my CJ-5 I rebuilt in high school. Sat in the back of our shed for about 10 years before I pulled it out and pulled it apart. It wasnt a full restoration obviously, just a motor rebuild. Its still a blast, dont take it out wheeling very much, having no brakes and all.


Heres to show ya how far we've come.

There's definately enough space in that CJ for a second battery and your luggage.

x2 - you call that jumble of wiring and hoses "progress"? So what if it puts out 4X the HP of the original - it's still complicated!

Great comparison - thanks for sharing.
