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 backed into a tree while off roading. I couldn't see it because my 37" spare restricts my rear view almost completely...I love it!!!



If you look closely you'll see that I pushed the bumper in until it hit the body, then the tree smashed the tail light, broke one of the plastic covers off the gate hinge and then a permanent dent on the corner of the body. All has been fixed now and I have a rear LoD bumper so that won't be happening again!

I guess I thought I had to match the rear to the front. So while climbing over a fallen tree deep in the forest I slid down the other side and hit another tree. I don't think the forest wanted me there that day...



Won't happen again because I put an LoD up there as well!

Reposted from my other thread.

Well, I was rear ended at speed today on Highway 70 coming into work near the Earth City Expressway. Traffic came to a quick stop. I was able to stop but the Liberty behind me plowed into me. I'm going to need a new tail gate for sure, but other than that I think I'm ok.

I have to say, the Expedition One rear bumper can take some SERIOUS abuse!


Here's my damage:







Here's the guy who hit me:

Damn Skippman that sucks. Hope everyone was ok. Make sure your frame is ok, it may not look like it but it is probably bent.
