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.

Outstanding! Love visiting the Midway when out in San Diego (my folks live in Chula Vista, which is where I grew up). How did they get the Jeeps up there?

Few pics' from one of my own Midway visits ...

Default Wow

That is really very awesome! Just passed by the Midway last weekend. Very cool tour for anyone in the area you should check it out. Of course you don't usually get to park your Jeep on the flightline.......

One of the board members (5 of us) from SDJC works on the Midway and cleared it through the CEO of the Midway. It was not an easy task and took a while to get approved.
