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.

whoo! 100mph!

I have wanted to make a license plate that says "F-U"... put on a ski mask (b/c one of the cameras snaps a shot of the occupants), drop the top, raise my arm in the air with one finger protruding, and blow through one of those stupid things... after i was sure nobody was coming of course.
I thought they had ruled that the LEO had to witness traffic offenses for them to be legal. Perhaps that is why they don't go on your license. I know people here who have never paid those tickets and have not had anything happen. They make license plate covers that are clear from straight on and tinted black when viewed at a vertical angle. I think they are made by chimera or something like that.

I don't get the high speed in a wrangler either. I'd rather push the Cayman.

I was surrounded by fast cars when I was young. My dad used to take me out at 5am on Sunday mornings to "air out" the Vette or later the M5. I saw 125+ several times, always as a passenger.
As a driver, I had my A4 up to about 120 when it started to get hairy and I backed off.
JK at 100.. no thanks... I regularly commute with it at 75+ and even that can get interesting with wind or big semi's flying by.
I'll stick to 10 MPH trail rides and read about the 100+ club in the papers.

This is along the same lines as those high school kids filming their crime and posting it on YouTube.
"Lets go randomly punch that person in the face or pick a fight and film it."

"Lets film us doing some illegal street racing."

I completely disagree. Some of you are just reading way too much into this. He was not hurting anyone, he was not "punching someone in the face", he was not "street racing". Give it a rest. That was a completely ridiculous statement.

"It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye"

"Then it's just fun"

The kid does a 100 in a jeep and out come all the do-gooders!

lol the 100mph club will also be included with the "i rolled my JK club" and the "lowest mpg club" lol i don't do 65 on the highway, i always try to do about 68-72 and it has worked good for me so far, all these kids my age are getting busted doing 50 in 35 zones and losing their licenses i always only do like 5mph over and play it safe my mom's a nurse and deals with these kids that run off the roads or get into serious accidents at night and it's not pretty.


Quick Reply: whoo! 100mph!
