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.

Fail!!!!

During the test drive at 50 mph 1 mile from work this was the result. I'll check on monday but I'm pretty sure he used the impact gun and cranked the sh!t out of them.
Good thing I hadn't made it to the freeway. YET!
The follow up question: Does he still work there?

Another example of tire shops and even regular repair shops hiring whoever they can get. I was an auto tech for 12yrs and have seen everything you can imagine.
