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.

first post, first jeep, first trail.....

Default first post, first jeep, first trail.....

So, I bought a 2008 Sahara 4-door about a month ago, finally mustered up the balls to take it out on a few (very tame) trails....

As noted in the title, this is my first jeep, my first post here at JK-forums, and the first time I've ever had this much fun in a vehicle.

I definitely consider the switch from my last vehicle (Mazda RX-8) to the jeep an upgrade.

All the discussions here are making me really consider where I dump my paycheck.... looks like a new bumper and tires (with a small lift) are going to be a lot more fun than the normal toys I buy....

Here are a few pics from the first trail I tried out... nice and easy, in the Ganaraska forest in Ontario - well maintained trails, not too much that really pushes my skill or the vehicle, but still lots of fun. Mud all over the inside and out, got lots of looks pulling into the parking lot at work Monday morning.

Were you TRYING to splash your wife there while she took the pics?

Welcome to our sickness !! The only cure is a rich uncle to leave you his estate so you can build the ultimate Jeep without the usual consequence (divorce)....
