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.

Offroading is great, until.....

This happens... Needless to say I will never utter the words "I wonder how deep this is".

There's water in everything. Oil, differentials, probably the transmission, the electronics went crazy.
Jeep's towing it as I type this.

Similar experience in my last pick up truck. Found out a puddle next to a gravel road was four feet deep with 2 feet of mud under it.

That's some deep shit, hope everything checks out ok after you get her cleaned up. Water crossings scare the crap out of me!

You took your jeep for a swim, lol!

That sucks. Really sucks. Hopefully it can be saved!

Apparently there was an underwater bridge about 3ft. to my right. So glad the park was out of maps.

You must have forgot to read the manual. It's a JEEP not a submarine..
