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.

Starwood definately puts togethr some nice wranglers with the bedlined finishes they do (some are a bit too flashy for me) but hot damn, 69 k for a wrangler at it's only a pentstar under the hood? No WAY someone buys this thing

I wouldn't pay $69.00 much less $69,000. That thing is ugly.

I personally think the kevlar coating is amazing...

but...

regardless a $28k jeep with a crappy made-in-who-knows-where lift kit....$69k doesn't add up.

here is my estimate

wheels and tires $3000
MBRP bumpers front & Rear $3000
winch $1300
fenders $700
Light bar and lights $600
MBRP sliders $700?
Custom Leather interior $2500

So right there we are at $28,000 + $11,800 = $39,800

Which means that the crappy lift kit, the kevlar coating and the labor to install all the doo-dads somehow equals $30,000 more.

It probably has the factory drivelines and no axle strengthening.

No thanks

With perhaps the exception of the tire shine throwing it off a bit, I don't mind the "look" (though not the direction I would have gone myself); but that equipment list sure doesn't seem indicative of a $69k price tag to me.

A dealer not far from me sells built new rigs off the lot; but they are very well equipped (AEV Conversions) Rubi's, closer to $60k, and I personally think that is still too much, lol.
