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.

Thumbs up Project-JK RAW VIDEO : 2012 KOH EVO 1's Qualifying Run Up Chocolate Thunder

This is a short clip of Mel Wade and Jim McGean in the Off Road Evolution EVO 1 Jeep JK Wrangler taking on Chocolate Thunder to qualify for the 2012 King of the Hammers Ultra 4 Race. While they may not have been the fastest up, they were steady and able to complete it where other highly built buggies weren't even able to get past the gatekeeper.

well, i may have considered it if moby could qualify in the everyman's challenge but, thanks to the off road evolution evo lever and bypass shock setup, it's apparently too fast for the class.

they were running the all new Nitto Trail Grappler M/T's. granted, they were stickies but, the design of the tire should be available by the end of the year.

unfortunately, they got hung up in a traffic jam on outer limits and were not allowed to head up fisure mountain at 8:30 pm. it sucks because we really think they could have finished too.
