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.

our vehicles checked good. recharged our batteries and sat phones. and here we are on day 6 of the expedition hitting a world class heritage location.





Saud showing us the scale of this tomb.














As an engineer, I have mad respect for those people who hand carved those tombs by hand, with nothing but basic tools. goes to show that if there is will, there will be a way. absolutely stunning!








one of my favorite shots








remember, they just had basic tools for this. Wow just wow!!



































Here's the living room area. a size of a house!








Saudi and rocks? Naaaawwww





Saudi flag





Alhejaz train. this train was built 200 years ago by the Othmans. nice to see it restored as original








and from there we move to volcanic rocks








find the flying object





Viewing the historic city of Al Ulla with a beautiful sunset



















Day 7 and our last for this amazing trip











Hate the export bumpers! their all plastic :thumbdown:














And so we say happy new year to all of you everywhere in the world. Wishing the world some much needed peace and love! Keep the Shinny side up and all four planted!

Very much so! Definitely an amazing trip. So, how did you go about getting permission to enter Saudi Arabia? They don't exactly offer tourist visas.

Mark,

you need to get invited to visit. I've done this with a few friends in the past that wanted to check out this culture of the world. the procedure is not complicated. If you want to go offroad and experience the desert. I strongly recommend planning ahead and obviously taking a local. general expenses are cheap, so traveling within the country should be very doable for international wheelers.

Great post!

Last time I was loose in that part of the world was during Desert Storm, 1991... Man, it doesn't seem like that long ago. Was using a HMMWV for most of that little adventure. There's a lot of interesting things out there in the desert...

Thanks for posting.

That was absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for sharing.

Did you mention when this trip was? How many miles did you pull?

Thank you again for the amazing photos.
