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 windshield got a big chip

So sitting at a 4 way stop no cars passing I hear this thunderous ear ringing bang as my window cracks all the way through (pieces of glass inside). My only guess is a rock from the sky or an errant bullet/ricochet? Hope I checked the free glass replacement box on my insurance.
It's about the size of my hand.

That's pretty creepy. Wonder why it randomly chipped.

Because something hit it very hard. I just know it wasn't from another vehicle as there was only 2 of us both at the stop sign.

My buddy had something like that happen, but it caved his windshield in on a ford f150 and glass exploded all over him. He was driving 60mph down the road too! Scared the hell out of him as you can imagine. He called 911 because he had no idea what happened the police called a few days later and said it was a part off of an airplane. The airline covered all damages and have him vouchers for flights and stuff like that.

Just goes to show that it could be anything...
