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.

Snuck onto the dealship to take some measurments...

Default Snuck onto the dealship to take some measurments...

Just to make this completely clear...I did not in any way do anything illegal by going on to the dealership lot after hours. It is common for (I can only speak about the area where I'm from) for people to "window shop" the dealerships after close, and that is what I did. I did not vandalize any JK while I was taking measurements.
Not crazy about the Mountain/Islander side hood decals but I loved their matte black hood decal. I went onto the dealership lot after hours took the measurements of that decal and made my own one up for little money. I even measured the holes for the window bump stops/tie down an also the windshield washer unit...It came out perfect here are some pics. And like the military application they stole this from it does cut down glare from off my hood.

Very interested, but I think I may just steal the idea and go measure one. I know a guy with a sign shop. Depends on cost when you post.
