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.

Got hit by a drunk driver last night......

Thank God for aftermarket bumpers. Forget fancy shoes and lifts, I first want protection from dingbats (and mysfelf from time to time). Anyone not sure how effective a steel bumper is, just take off the OEM piece and ask your wife to try and lift it. Mine nearly flipped out. Her reaction also help to validate the purchase.

Glad to hear you escaped relatively unscathed. And thanks for sharing.

Glad you're ok.

I don't know how you stopped yourself from crawling up his hood to just leave the JK on top of the Jetta. Would've made some quality pictures, and he definitely wouldn't have gotten anywhere.

So sad that people are destroying their own language and don't bother to learn. That's probably worse than drunk driving and hitting people.

Anyway, awesome that your jeep didn't get hurt too much!!!
Boy I bet your the life of the party when you go out.

DUIs tend to have a TON of paperwork, especially when there is an accident that he left the scene of - twice. It was probably a slow night and you never know what they guy is going to do.

Default Whew!

I was hit from the rear twice and T- boned once all in the space of 9 months all by drunks. I don't drink myself & don't have a problem with folks who enjoy drinking- BUT NEVER GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR IF YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING. If you get in a wreck and hurt someone or yourself the fun stops. To the OP: glad you're ok and I hope all turns out well for you and your rig.
