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.

No more faded padding for my roll bars!

You're right. the front bars don't give me any confidence in a roll over (even though I did lay mine on it's side after I first got it) and i would love to put a sports cage in as well. It's on the ever growing wish list of mods.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Hopefully it will hold up well. I did scratch the finish putting my soft top back on, but just touched it up with some more spray.

That looks like it was a lot of work to tear it down and put it back together. When are you going to do the rest of your Jeep to match?

here is an idea, do it to the stock fenders, then if you dont like it youve got an excuse to buy new ones.

Looks good. Why spray the fenders to test it when you can buy the ones from Overkill Engineering!?

Looks good ... I removed my pads a while ago. How sturdy is the windshield without the bars attached at the A-Pillar?? I only run with a soft top .. so I wouldn't be able to remove that bar anyway .....

It felt pretty sturdy, but I just removed the bars so I could spray them more easily. I put them back on when they dried. I usually pull the doors on the weekend so I'll take a few more pics of the finished project.

I'm guessing you have to pull those bars to let the windshield down?
