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.

I got some gutter guard plastic mesh from home depot, spray painted it red 3 coats and clear coated once. stuck some siptie holders to the back of the grill with epoxy ( not going anywhere for a while) and ziptied the guard down. The paint has actually held up nicely. Im wondering if I should switch it to silver though.

Thanks! It was sorta difficult not being able to take the grill off (MBRP light bar in the way) but it was worth it i guess. Any excuse to be working on the jeep.
