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.

Jeeps are great fun. No doubt about it. But, what real work has your JK made easier? Post your stories and pic's here. Here's mine:

The recent ice storm in Oklahoma did a lot of damage to the 5-1/2 acres of my church. Much of that land is heavily forested. So, my son (Curtis) and I took out the JK and began the process of cleaning up the mess. We've spent close to 50 man-hours on it. The JK and a tow strap were essential to dragging out some of the larger logs, reducing the need to trim out thorny greenbriar, heavy Virginia creeper, and poison ivy. Here are a few images as we cut one bodark tree from the tangle mess:

Great pics.....have to show our logging contractors here in BC what a JK can do!!!! Who needs a 648H John Deere Grapple Skidder when you can get a JK to skid out a few logs with a choker cable to the landing site!

No pictures, but i used it to help me direct a tree drop in my front yard. I never thought to take pictures.

I did consider buying it red plaid seat covers though.

I love working with the jeep. Tree cutting / dragging is a lot of fun. I got to do a few over the summer and pull some off the road after a storm. Good times

That has got to be better than dragging downed trees from an ice storm at my church. How do I apply?
