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.

Blacked out Rubi!

Question

damn, thats wicked looking. i would've loved to been able to get a black rubicon, but i would've had to wait several months for it to be ordered and such, or drive off the lot with the blue one i got now. oh well.


but i gotta ask, when did they start making the highrock bumpers with built in fogs? or is that a custom job?

I love the way that looks!! I would love to do my wheels like that. Will the powder coating hold up to scrapes or would I have to be more careful around rocks and such? Your ride looks fantastic!

Get some flat black paint and paint your antennae. Seems simple, but it makes a difference to the blacked out look.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I might just get a black stubby....I've done it in the past and it hasn't disturbed my radio reception much if at all in the past.

Oh also, the front pic is a good shot of how my Highrock looks with the factory fogs that I fabbed into it.
