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.

Cons:

Floor is hotter in summer

Stereo does not sound as good

Smell is horrible with top on

Pros:

easier to keep clean

looks badass

prevents rust (maybe)

Is the smell just when it's first done or never goes away?

Good point on stereo, didn't think of that. Put a great system in mine but hardly use it when top is off. Could do bed liner then in winter when hard top goes on I could put carpet back in.

I rolled on Monstaliner last weekend, doors have been off all week and there's no more smell. Not sure about other brands.

The smell from the raptor liner was gone after a few days. Try to leave the top and doors off to speed up the process.

I really like it. It doesn't have a rough texture and was dry within a few hours, completely cured the next day...tho the humid Alabama heat definitely helped the process along.

pros:
easy clean up and i never have to vacuum up dog hair
no soggy carpets that will rot your floor board
i no longer get aggravated at the sloppy people that can't knock the snow off their boots before getting in
people complain about the floor being too hot, i on the other hand see it as foot warmers in the winter

cons:
the time it takes to DIY
or the cost to have it done
