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.

Did anything else give besides the axle shaft? The teeth look like they didn't slip either. That's crazy!!

It is unbelievable that the differential gears were not damaged.

Obviously you would prefer the U-joint to fail since it is easier and cheaper to replace, but next best thing is the axle itself to protect the gears.

Were the wheels slipping at all or were they locked down in traction?
