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.

cold and snowy last night but look at this!

Good trick is to run the ac for a couple minutes. Defrost works, but a/c will dry out the interior air before you have to get out REALLY fast. And run it on the recirculating option. Don't bring in more outside cool damp air!

This happened to me a few weeks ago, but with dew, not frost (it doesn't get cold enough here). I had left a load of firewood in the back of my rig the night before. The moisture had condensed all over the interior overnight because of the colder temps outside of the Jeep. Took the firewood out that day and the problem went away.

I would imagine the same thing could happen with just about any moisture source... wet seats/floor mats. However, it doesn't seem to happen if I just leave a cup of water.

check for leaks. The carpets are probably wet. You may have to pull them out to dry them as well as mop up any moisture you may find under the carpet. Happened to me two weeks ago

X2, I woke up to the same thing. The picture doesn't do it justice to how much was inside. Is been below zero for the last couple days, it dipped to the 20s yesterday and then back to -5 again last night. Time to chip all the ice off the floor liners I guess.
