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 2010 JK Fire 11/27/2011

My jeep caught on fire on 11/27/2011. Auto transmission, Look at my You Tube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSpFB...ature=youtu.be . My insurance paid me 26,200.00 which was more than fare. Chrysler sent an engineer to look at it, and asked me if my insurance paid me. The Jeep only had 20,000 miles on it. But even though it’s my 5th jeep I will by a new one, once the 2012 has had some time on the road. I made a complaint with the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration and sent them the video; they are opening an investigation because of the video. Take a look at it, its nuts.

It couldn't have been due to the tranny - Jeep Chrysler put on a HOT OIL warning lamp to fix that little issue

Glad you are OK & got the $$ back - although it won't completely compensate your loss. All the best.

By the sound of things seems like your wife was about ready to kill you. Personally i would have gone back for the firearms myself, don't want people getting hurt with my bullets because of my dumb ass. I would not have gone back again just to get your cell phone I would have let it go down in flames with the Jeep.

Any word on the cause of the fire? I just bought my first Wrangler (2012 Sahara) and this is something I didn't even think could happen.
