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.

Looks good! Now go unstrap the passenger side and swing it open so its even.


If you don't want to do that and you have some canned air for electrical parts laying around, you can turn the can upside down and spray it on the dent. It'll freeze the metal and pull it back out some. Wait a few minutes and do it again. I got most of mine out by doing this.

I actually already have the matching one on the passenger side thanks to one of my kids opening the door before I had connected the strap and wire harness. Thanks for the tip on the canned air. I'm going to give that a shot. With the force of the wind, I got both a dimple and a pretty good line.

No , it does nothing to the paint.
You may want to heat the area and around it with a blowdryer first, I did mine when the jeep had been sitting in 100 degree sun all day. Just remember turn the can upside down, thats where the cold stuff is.

So I just got around to replacing the strap, which means I had to pull the entire door apart to get to the wire harness. What a PITA! Getting to where the harness connects to the door striker assembly was an absolute nightmare. I reeeaally hope I never have to do that again.
