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.

i hate some of san diego's garages, they advertise the entrance as 8'2" but then it drops down to 6'8" inside... very deceptive

Yep it ain't easy in the 'Republic' to even find parking. I've cruised by and seen you parked several times. Gotta admit your rig partly inspired me to get one. Live down the street from you.

But really thats an awesome job parking. i enjoy parallel parking b/c of my tiny wheel base, i had to move out of the way for an ambulance today and i just drove up onto the curb and the other cars were in the way and just looked at me like, wow!

Nice job. I used to live in a small downtown setting which required parallel street parking and parking the Jeep was actually easy, I would just roll it up over the curb to get close and straighten it out. Being a two door definitely helps though.

Take a drive in France someday and you will see that it's normal every day driving. The last time I was there every time you stop at a light the people behind you just bump into you and don't even think twice about it

nice i operate parking lots for a living, and we park all the cars in very small spaces, so we get very creative parallel parking
