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 My first attempt with Raptor Liner (JCR Bumper/Grill)

I was a bit concerned going into it, but the job ended up being much easier than I expected(With lots of help from posts on the forum.) The only added advice I have for anyone doing this is to cover EVERYTHING in your garage not getting sprayed. I spent more time cleaning up the overspray on the floor/walls then painting(Regular paint thinner doesn't work, had to run to the store for Acetone.) I also had issues with my feet sticking to the boxes and sheets on the floor and dragging them all over the garage with me. For the second coat I sprayed wd40 on the bottom of my shoes so that I didn't have that issue again.
I haven't mounted my skid plate yet as I want to give the liner a few days to set before bolting it to my bumper.
I'm extremely happy with the end results. It's very hard to capture it in pictures, but in person looks 10x better.

Looks nice. I have been thinking about doing this to my bumpers, so I will heed your warnings. Thanks

That looks great! I like the little addition of the lit up JCR logo
