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.

Thumb's up! primarily because the black fender's & wheels make it work. Great Imagination!

I never would have thought I would have liked this without seeing the pics. Looks pretty good. I'm impressed.

saw the thread title and was bracing for fail...

but it's not bad at all.

i'd like to see what it would look like with the top down and no black colored reference.

I like it, but I would do the B-pillar. I am not a huge fan of half doors, but the line-x looks good

Yeah, I was on the fence about the pillar. Looks like I may end up doing it. It would definitely flow better I think.

Here's Funwagon's JK with half doors. It's the look I was going for.... His B-pillar is still the same color as the rest of the JK. Still think it would look better in black?

That is friggen awesome! Especially because the setup you have makes it work... the top, fenders, rain guards, wheels and most of all the color. Well done and good attention to detail to make sure you got the hinges as well.

I would do the B-piller or maybe have someone photoshop it black with the doors off. I saw a thread a while back someone had painted the b-piller black and it looked really good with the doors off but it was a silver Jeep and black and silver go great together.
