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.

Tonka color change?

But how forever is the Line-X. I know very little about the product. I mean you are more than likely going to change color schemes later. Will the Line-X hinder this?

But I like color choices. I would say go for it.

Line-X is not Bullitproof. Not to mention it would as a huge amount of weight to the JK if you did the entire tub inside and out with it. And remember if you decide down the road you don't like you creation you are going to have huge undertaking on your part to change it..(like your doing now)

If so, I'd do a met silver with riveted sections.
Then the fighter art behind the fenders.
But I think it's prob been done.

So the theme has shifted form tonka truck to shark? If thats the case, I like the paint scheme you came up with...And the fleshtone sort of seems like the shark ate somebody. I know its a stretch, but come on...

I would say if you're going for the charcoal to steel blue fade, the tints of the charcoal and steel blue need to be really close to make the fade look really good and not like some sort of hot-roddy type of painting.

Its your jeep and I say go for it. You hav one of the most unique JKs on here, why stop now?

Your stuff always comes out looking really cool. Do it, and show everyone how cool you and your Jeep really are.

Crash,
I hope you are not doing this because of people thinking that Yellow is "girly". My CJ7 I had before my JK was bright yellow and I saw nothing "girly" about it.

i like all those ideas! the one i'd skip is the flesh tone interior. i have never been big on those nice candy interiors with all kinda stuff that can get scratched easy. but everything else sounds sweet!

Never been one to change anything because of what others thought.

Just going with a color scheme I thought of the other day in my sleep.
I woke up and its all I could think of..

Im hoping with enough clearcoats, I can buff out any accidental scratches.
