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.

That's great you got to go. We went in 2000. How did you place? Can't beat those Aussies. They're all crazy. They don't know how to drive slow. Great bunch though. Always inviting you to a beer Did you get to meet Mean Mr.Metcalf? Some other great guys were Chris Hummer and Peter Taylor. Are they still around? These guy live and breathe off-roading. When we got back, we saw off-roading in a whole different light. Bet you never thought you would winch so damn much. I'd do anything to return one day. If you like events like that you should try the Rainforest Challenge in Malaysia. A lot of the same guys help organize that event.

Well the vehicle completed the race and is now back at our shop for a full race prep, EVOLever install and possible Hemi swap.
What is the next race you are prepping the rig for?

Like skaggs9573 posted, you can see the mod list in the Fall issue of JPFreek. It’s available online.

I see it in the video of the 08 outback challenge they are from Venezuela the driver is a Jeannete Garcia (Interior Designer) the copilot name is Pedro Espinoza.They finish 37 of 50 good for newcomers.My opinion they have to cut some weight in drivetrain and armor
