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 Insulated Hard Top

Winters coming and i figured this would be a good idea; my few months of summer with it the jeep was hot, especially when you’re stopped, so I figured winter would be the same. Im not a fan of the shinny screws and they tend to transfer the cold through. I am hoping to find some black plastic ones as long as they’re strong enough. The biggest benefit I found so far is the noise level drop. It is insulated with 2 layers of reflective insulation, 1/8” fiber board and finished with black canvas that almost matches the roll bar covers. I like it, let me know your thoughts. If there is enough interest I might do a write up. Just a matter of finding time to.

Cost - $100 (I had half of the hardware and insluation)
Time - 3 1/2 days (Mainly adhesive dry time took 24 hours to ‘set’)

looks great. not the biggest fan either of the screws but i think if they were black it would look much better as well as function better.
