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.

Ouch sorry to hear that happen

I dont think its totaled though. The rocker can be fixed and so can the fender. Looks like the doors are fine and nothing else is damaged too bad. Im surprised it held its own with a T-bone.

Default Good news....

Word from the shop is the are repairing the Sahara. Lots of unseen damage to steering, suspension and front end components (Control Arm, pitman arm, brackets on the axle housing etc.) but nothing they can't fix. The body damage is $$$$. I'm at least getting new tires out of the deal. I'll keep the thread updated as I get pictures from the shop.

Default Tire Size Question for the Forum

265/70 r 18 Nitto Terra Grapplers - They will fit with no other mods correct? The Sahara has stock suspension (3/4 lifter in front to make up for the winch weight) and stock 18's. Thanks guys and gals!

they probably wont total it unless the frame is bent and with the picture the damage doesnt look too severe so you it will probably be rapaired

I don't think it's totaled. It shouldn't hurt the pocket book... much.


18yo boys do much more stupid things than 18yo girls FYI. I was one once and I can vouch for that. If anything 18yo girls do much more stupid 18yo boys.

Good gosh, Josh, OP already admitted in the first post that the accident was his fault.
