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 Rubicon slides into mud hole...

So no shit there I was... taking the Rubicon on some trails after work when I attempted to bypass this giant water hole when I slid riiiight into it. Not sure how this thing didnt roll over, but I know I came dangerously close. But hey, if you dont get your Jeep stuck from time to time you're doing it wrong!!! Haha, thank god for the cummins turbo diesel!

Whew! So you just putted right on out with diesel power, or did you have to accept a tow?

I bet that slide was entirely unnerving!

Glad everything worked out but next time point it straight at that puddle and get her dirty.

Find any frogs in the back after you pulled it out? Crazy how you didn't roll is right... glad you didn't though. Shouldn't have been any damage though, right?

actually had a guy with a cummins yank me out fairly easily. I would have gone straight in if I had someone to pull me out just in case, but it wasnt my intent to go through. unfortunately the Jeep and the clay around the water had other plans...

no frogs, but tons of muddy water and unfortunately the gas cap wasnt on tight enough so plenty of muddy water in the gas tank. thank god for comprehensive insurance coverage!

I always thought insurance would not cover anything attributed to off road adventures?

depends on your insurance company really. I have USAA and I explained to them what happened and they are going to cover everything under my comprehensive policy.

Curious if you tried putting in 4Lo and disconnecting the sway bar and driving out using your lockers.
