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.

Yes.

And with the bushwackers, black wheels etc, I bet you won't even notice the B pillar is half and half... I bet it will just disappear.

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.
Thanks! Looks like 1 more vote for the b-pillar!

Leave it like you have it... just like the stock half doors look.

I was expecting fail by the title as well, but having seen it... it looks great. Very clean!

It seems like the majority vote so far is black on the b-pillar.

Thanks. I knew that if the line-x job wasn't perfect it wouldn't have turned out the way I was hoping. I'm really happy with it. The lines are very clean which makes a big difference in overall appearance.

I think it looks great but would do the b-pillar as well. I would do the b pillar with real half doors also. Good job

Thanks! I'm still on the fence about the b-pillar. But, don't be surprised if the next pics I post are of the b-pillar after I've line-x'd it black

Not a big fan but that is only my opinion. I feel if you want half doors, get them. It's like people that buy an X and put Rubicon stickers on it. Its just being something its not. Again, dont take it in the wrong way, this is only my opinion.

I don't blame you for thinking that at all.... The reason I did this is because I like the LOOK of the half doors but not necessarily the functionality of the half doors. I like the lines on the half doors. I didn't want to lose my windows either, so I went with this.
