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.

Default GatorHyde Tub

I had River Raider spray the Tub with gatorHyde. Already the JK sounds quieter and less hot from the engine.

Special thanks to River Raider for doing the work along with some mod to my AEV wench mount.


Stripped the Interior and sanded for GatorHyde to be sprayed.

It looks great in person. It took all day with three people working on it. I'm planning on attending the JK-Project oputing next month and you can take a look at it.

Any issues with removing it? Basically, can you tell its not there? and what the hell is the point of it anyway? Is it sound deadening

About how much weight do you think this would add?
Not much right?
