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.

Rough and expensive weekend.

Default Rough and expensive weekend.

Went off-roading, got stuck at night. My front left tire blew a hole in the sidewall. (Tire only had 3,000 miles on it) and here's the funny part. My power steering pump pulley and shaft shot out of the pump, naturally throwing the belt. I have no idea how that happened! Also, I realized that autozone does not carry parts for a 2010 so I had to order a new power steering pump and pulley from the dealer $155.00 then I'm down one Super Swamper TSL Radial size 36x12.50xr16 $347.00 + 47.00 shipping + 30.00 oversize surcharge. So this little fiasco cost me around $575 bucks!!!

Maybe the machine gun miss fired and a round bounced back and caused the damage

Gotta post some pics of the zombie blasters for sure.
