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 Video of the JK crossing an old train Trestle!

Here is the video of me crossing the old train trestle (tressel) in Northern Maine. Video footage thanks to my 10yr old daughter.

It would have been more fun if you didn't mention the train trestle. Maybe "Jeep tests new amphibious model."

It's strange they didn't tear that down. I imagine it could screw up some boats.

I had to keep telling myself that trains used to use it, because I kept thinking I was going to fall through to the bottom of the pond.

The pic was taken from my phone so its not great. They were tracks from the old logging days. The closest tracks that still remain are about 2-3 miles away. All that remains now is the tote road leading in. As you get to the other shore, there is zero indication from the shore and into the woods that anything existed.

M son was very clear that I wasnt allowed to get to close to his trucks!

Cool video, especially from the 10 yo videographer

One question though:
How fast were you going through the Tonka construction zone?

Most states the fines are doubled for speeding through construction zones

Believe me....not fast! My son didn't want his trucks washed intothe pond and I couldn't mess up his work.
