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.

Default Off roading in my 63 year old WWII Jeep

I took my 1944 Willys-Overland MB off roading over the week end with some with a TJ and a JK. I is a lot of fun in the mb because it fits just about every where!

Very cool. It is like going fishing with your Grandpa. He may be old be he can still it and do it good.

I have driven several late 40's MBs that we used as brush fire trucks. The MO Conservation Department provided them free of charge to Vol FDs. They were always a blast to drive off road. A bit of a handful on road. They could be squezed into almost any place you wanted to go.

When you see one done up like that you can really see how little the body has changed over nearly 70 years.

Love seeing the MB's hitting the trails, not many 60 yr old vehicles can do that stuff.

That is a great looking MB! Even though I do not know jack about vehicle restoration, I want to do a ground up restoration on an MB after I retire. I have about 13 years to study up....
