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.

Default My monday night...

I was on the way to my parents house last night, and got sideswiped. Dodge Neon hit my rear passenger-side corner, and flipped me completely over once. Landed upright luckily. Jeep actually ended up alright. I was able to drive it home. Can't say as much for the Neon. Everyone was fine. The jeep has seen better days. Don't know what will happen with it.

Yeah, I was surprised as hell when I got out of the car. Gives me a lot of faith in the safety of this car.

Glad your O.K. I'm really impressed how well the Jeep held up for rolling completely over.

I'd be willing to bet you have a new 08 in your driveway soon.

glad to hear you are ok.

Not sure on this one. Normally with damage like that the pillar on the windsheild a car would get totalled but we have Jeeps so its not structural (connected to a solid roof). There is a lot of scraps, your hard top alone is $2300 atleast and then you need new fender flares drive side, rear bumper, possible drive door (cant tell how bad the dent is by the pillar) and you suspension will need a good lookover seeing that part of it is hanging down

Yeah, I'm not too sure what they are doing with it. So far the top is done, the driver's door is probably done, windshield and frame are done, rear gate badly damaged, both driver side fenders are damaged, both rear quaterpanels are dented, rear bumper is damaged, the rear sway bar is hanging, and the suspension is all sorts of messed up. It was all over the road on the way home. Some of that is because of the sway bar, but not all of it.
