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.

Cool or not? What's the verdict?

So what do you guys think of the matching ARB bumpers?
Cool or not so cool?

I think they would look cool if the grill was black.

I think if you have a pavement princess then go for it, but if you actually use your Wrangler for what they were designed for then leave it black.

That's why black is still looking good to me.
Besides I think getting the matching colour is lot of extra $$$$$$$$$$

Hmmm... But what about black JK's with the black bumpers? Hmmm..

It looks nice if you plan on a "Show" Jeep but I'm into functionality. That's why I hate the painted fender flares. It's just more painted surface to take care of and worrying about scratching, plus all the rocks chips from driving, it wouldn't stay pretty for long. just my 2cents.

The reason I don't like Saharas as much is the paint-matched flares. I like all of the black parts on the Jeep, contrasting with the paint. Same reason I don't really care for black Jeeps all that much. I like the AEV front bumper a little better than the ARB. I think it matches up better to the stock flares. I think if you do go with a painted bumper, it looks much better on a dark vehicle like blue or green.
