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.

My first mod! Cool roof. VERY COOL!!!!

I must admit, I like this self-mod. I think you should do black wheels now to really pull off the contrast between black & white. Your JK will look even tighter after a simple mod like wheels; IMO. But great job. I really like it.

It was done by George with Trick Jeep Stuff. Here is a link http://www.offroadpassport.com/forum...read.php?t=165

The difference in temprature is absolutely incredible.

For pics of the TJ click the link and do some searching around for "Number 7" that is the Jeep with the coating on it.

104 degrees here in Phoenix today, and I have to say that I am even more impressed with this product! I wish I could measure the actual temprature, but my thermo is in my work truck! The inside of the top stays comfortable to the touch, and actually gets cold in a couple minutes with the A/C running! My Jeep sits in direct sun light all day. This is so flippin sweet!

Not many wheels look better than our OEM Rubicon wheels. Plus, he'd really regret it in a few years when the black wheels are no longer cool. Its a fad and will pass...

I see your point, hence our own opinions. I will say that I have black wheels on my black JK and love'em and plan on keeping it that way till the JK hits the end of the road. I do see it as a fad too, which I do hope will pass. But I will continue it

OP -- do whatever you want, it's your cash; you have just heard both sides of the coin.

I am tossed on the wheels, I LOVE the Rubi stockers, but would love some offset black wheels too. I havent gotten that far yet, I need to put a lift on it first!

I was in AZ for the month of August and I can say it was way to HOT. I can see why you would look for ways to keep things cool to the touch.
