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 nice!!! But you didn't say what the mesh is? I can't tell for sure but it looks like mortar mesh? If it is, I had the same idea awhile back. I was wondering how to attach it.
Good job...!!!

Actually, all is, is- 7 pieces of the Gutter Guard stuff. The sheets from Home Depot came in 6"x3' sheets, and so I just cut them up. I then used 1"x1" zip tie blocks (found over in electrical at Home Depot) and then used small zip ties and just wrapped it all in. About an hour or so , little more- Lemme know if you have any questions!

I was worried about the air to the radiator as well, but then looked at exactly what I did- but the "professional version" for $289.99 and it is almost exactly the same size holes- so cant be an issue!

Not a big fan of this mod. A little too pretty for me.

Ya Know, I thought the same thing when I read about this mod...
and for sure skipped this page in Quadratec, but,
The more I see how bent up the fins are on the A/C condensor, and how crappy it looks in there, the more I like this cheap mod.
I've got a roll of black plasic gutter guard already......
I'm gonna try it...If it looks like hell, then no big deal.
