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.

Thought it couldn't get worse than the chrome grill...

Not true. The Ford M151 was used as a military "Jeep" for many years and had a grille with horizontal slots.

Not for me, but X2 (or 100) that it looks better than most of the chromed grills I've seen... But then again, Jeeps shouldn't shine, unless you can devise a way to make dirt and mud sparkle.

You just can't change the look of the Jeep grille.

It's like combining a Big Mac's double patties into a single that may weigh the same, but it's just not the same.

I think the star is circa military Willys Jeeps.

I'd love to see what the install guide looks like.

Step 1:
Go apeshit with a Sawz-All.

Step 2:
Install grille.

Step 3:
Clean up.

I don't dig it, but the diamond plate crush can covers on the bumper are a nice touch!

I feel the same way. Even though it's "custom".

Hummers with 7 slot grills, and Jeeps without them...
