Notices
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.

Bad driver and wet roads equal damage to my new jeep

Glad everyone is all right. Looks the first mod is going to be a rear bumper.

okay so I've rechecked everything from the exhuast manifolds back and have not found any damage. I used level and micromoters and visual of all major drive line components and swaybars, track bar, shocks and springs and even lift the wheels off the ground to check for wobble and found none, everything is still in specs and tracks straight going down the road. I will update once I get in the shop. Working with other drivers insurance to see about upgrading the bumper and muffler. I'm still amazed when I see it that my jeep held up so well to the impact.

Okay folks figure I would update, just got my jeep back from the body shop no frame damage. They replaced the bumper, muffler and tow hook. Glad to have my jeep back hated driving the rental around and only took two days for the repairs
