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.

Stump removal? No problem!

Default Stump removal? No problem!

Ok, so you can probably tell from the pics below that I just removed a bush, not an actual stump. In my defense, the bush was 1: about 6'x2'x3' (large) 2: live, meaning the roots were still grabbing onto soil 3: oak, which is a PITA to remove anyway, even with a full sled dog team and a fresh moose as bait. Anyway, this was my first "work" that I made my jeep do, so I wanted to show it off to all my new friends and fellows.

Yeah I was afraid that would happen to me too, and then tension would cause the ratchet to slindshot through my back window. Luckily I had no issues though.

You used a ratchet strap? Wow man, it's only a matter of time before you win the next Darwin Award. Not smart.

Ouch! Yeah, you're right, dumb is dumb. I knew better but its what I had available at the time. On my behalf it was rated to 1000lbs and I let the jeep pull forward at idle in 4wd to do the pull....
