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.

This ought to buff out, right?

Default This ought to buff out, right?

Went over at my buddy's farm a couple weeks ago. Got the check today from the insurance company. Nobody hurt seriously and we were lucky it didn't end up in a pond. Jeep was put back to stock before they totaled it so I've got tires, bumpers, winch, etc to sell now. None of that stuff was damaged, but every body panel had damage.

I've been wheeling these things for 20 years and this is the first time I've rolled one completely over.

Not much of one really. We got in late and just went to ride around the property. There's been tons of rain up there and I managed to find a washed out drainage culvert with the passenger side front tire where I thought there was a road. I guess I can blame the fog or the knee high field grass, but it was really just lack of attention and bad luck. Once she started tipping on that slope, she rolled all the way over.

Ironic thing is that we were just out screwing around when it happened, but we were planning on running Uwharrie the next morning. I'd feel less stupid if it would have happened wheeling.

I would recommend some mothers wax a high speed buffer, a spray bottle of armor all and you should be good. Just kick the windshield out that's a luxury to have on a Jeep. Just wear some sun glasses do your eyes don't tear up on the highway.

He made out like a bandit. Good profit. When I told him he could make money flipping jeeps, this is not what I had in mind.

Buy it back from auction if possible, then you can rebuild using the Insurance money... You know the extent of the Damage... Can you repair it for the amount you got???
