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 used the stock bumper ends to cover the chopped bumper ends. Stuck them on the inside and fastened them with lag screws that pulled them tight together.

This looks great. How's it holding up? Did you then paint the whole bumper and what did you use to paint it?

I barrowed this idea from someone else on the forum (can't remember who) but I think it looks awsome and was only 20 bucks.

Those are some pretty sweet bed rails. Nice idea. Something I might be interested in.

That looks cool.
Do you have a ragtop, or do you just never use a top?
