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.

It never to hot with the top off! Once you get up to 30-40 it feels good! It has been 100-107 here, I have had my doors and top off all week. I know what you mean about too hot thought!

Idk about you guys but here in LA hot is alot different than hot everywhere else. If it gets 100 then it feels like 120. Its so humid it hurts to breathe. Even at 40mph your face pours with oil and sweat. Then theres the arizona version of hot where its hot and dry but thats arizona and when those people come here they cant take it.

Yeah, and cockroaches the size of Wranglers. Did a 6 month project there once. Air conditioner ran 24x7. Every time I stepped outdoors, my glasses fogged up and the sidewalks were covered with cockroaches.

At the time, Texas didn't have an open container law (maybe they still don't) -- that was cool.

I admire the work it took to do this, but I really can't stand those Bushwacker flares. So far, IMO the ones I have seen are hideous, and I prefer the Xenons or metal tube fenders. The Bushwackers are overpriced and huge!
