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.

Im not really suprised the toyota was totalled. they are made from pepsi can material. absolute junk.

I farted on my brothers corolla and it dented. I would go after the insurance from the girl citing the toyota would not stop and it accellerated uncontrollably...


I think the JK can be fixed...looks not to bad as long as the frame is not tweaked...

Default She's back!

Well, I got her back! Two return trips to the shop and all was well. Can't tell you how awesome they were. I'll do a full write-up of the final process and post pics later this week.

LOL! Have you pushed on any of your body panels on your jeep? Dont get me wrong i love my jeep but the weight saving panels are just as flimsy as the rest of newer vehicles...

Sucks to have that happen! Hopefully the fix is proper.

Default Just a tease....

So I've been driving the Jeep for about 10 days now and everything is perfect. The shop did outstanding work. Spent the weekend at my brother's (he's a mechanic) and he couldn't believe what they did. While I was there I also installed Dominion Off Road On Board Air set-up with a 2 gallon tank and some Body Armor Rock Sliders. (Camera died - so I'll get pictures of everything soon. ) The below picture was sent to me by the shop - after I got her back - as they were afraid I'd be mad. Apparently some people don’t like it when they take the vehicle complete apart!

Reminds me, I have two side steps for sale ($50). They are in NC for pick-up. Posted in For Sale Section.

You could fit 60" tires with that body lift!

I think the rock slider in a car accident would cause more damage, all the impact would have gotten transferred to the frame, if frame mounted. Lees body damage, but more frame damage.
