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.

Body Wrap anyone?

We used body wraps all the time when I worked for the Richard Petty Driving Experience. They do NOT peel off easily! In fact when we change over a car to a new wrap you will get blisters on the tips of your fingers from taking it off! Once its on it on till you want to take it off! Now it's not stone chip proof or stain proof. Bug guts tend to stain it easily and will NOT come out. It is pretty hard to scratch through but if you do get a scratch more than likely it will not mess up the paint underneath. As for pin-striping from brush on the trail it will show up just like it does on the paint. If and when you do decide to take it off be prepared to be removing glue residue from the entire body and it's NOT fun. Finally if you get someone that does not know what their doing you will get bubbles everywhere and corners will tend to peal up after a short period of time.. So now you be the judge to get it or not...

When I first test-drove a JK, the dealer demo was wrapped in a jungle green mint-leaf wrap that had been used for a ? gum promo. My kids loved it! I ordered a black Jeep though. Something like a zebra stripe or urban camo would look keen.

The vinyl they use is much more durable than paint.

Nice...flat black looks awesome. Do you think there would be copyright issues if I chose to do a wrap of a naked Scarlet Johansen?
