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.

Why not? Some people spend tens of thousands of dollars to personalize a $30,000 Jeep. What's a couple hundred on a $450,000 Porsche?

lol I'm surprised you'd think I wouldn't know vinyl. I wouldn't buy crap vinyl. The vinyl I plan on using has a 3 year guarantee... and the $2000 would be if he wrapped it for me. I'm doing it myself buddy. I'm not buying a 50 yard roll. Im buying 10 yards by 48" tall. But!!!!! Thanks for your concern! If I saw another person on here wasting their money, irregardless the amount. I'd be sure to let em know too!

That's what people do that are rich enough to drive their expensive machines in the winter. It's very common.

People also wrap them to conceal the color when they go on street races. Pretty easy to locate the carrera gt in town. Easy to deny when it's the wrong the color and you slip up and they have you on film...

I think it would look great........$2000 is installed, but from what i understand there is different grades.....the sun really does a number on it......this is just from my friends point of few....i no nothing about this....he says it will fade after 1 year in the sun if you use cheap stuff.

I think it'll look pretty sweet. Good luck with the install and post pics when you're done!

Hey Jkid.. let me know where your buying the wrap from. Intenet? I was looking to do the same thing but the wrap was very expensive.. a local shoip wanted $2,300 to wrap my JK.

If I can get the wrap for a few hundred Id do it the same time you do.


Thanks buddy and I love the idea
