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.

Default Finally i have my own Jeep

After years of wanting a Wrangler of my own i finally have one.

Story goes that i found my jeep on autotrader at a dealer located in milwaukee. Went and checked it out. As i was figuring out if i could buy it next thing i know its no longer listed online and no longer at the dealership i found it at.

On april 11, i walk into work and the used car manager says he has something to show me. I walk out back of my dealership and low and behold, a silver 4 door jeep wrangler. I was so excited. drove it around and pulled it into the shop to check it out. As im looking at this jeep, im thinking "man this thing looks like the one i saw a few weeks ago." I grab the paperwork from the first jeep and see its the SAME jeep. Same VIN and all. I figured it had to be fate. So i drove it all week to make sure i liked driving a jeep. Then i finally decided to buy it. As of the 14th of April i know have my JK.

Jeep at the dealer.



Took the wheels off. Removed the chrome covers, and painted the steel wheels.





Rims painted




Cant wait to start doing real swaps and mods!

Congrats from a fellow newbie! Drove mine into work tonight with the top off for the first time. Warm air hitting my face and nothing but stars above for my view. NOTHING like a Jeep out there!
