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.

What was done to your JK this week?

Everyone's honest opinions would be greatly appreciated. The last two pics are the original black.
Personally, i think it would look bad ass with just the top vent painted red, and the side vents black. Would be just enough accent. My rig is all black so i am partial that way. Good looking rig tho.

All I can say is drilling through your body(tailgate) with a black and decker battery powered drill is a pain in the ass. I just wanna get my smittybilt molle tailgate panel installed.

Probably due to my having worked with the mentally handicapped for years.

Looks good. How hard was the install? And is that a textured hood decal?

Install was actually easier than I thought it would be. I installed the hood cowl, taped off around the hood, sanded, then sprayed all of it with raptor. No decal

Looks nice, 1 coat of primer and paint? What paint did you use? Did you do this with the tires off or on?

I think I'm gonna paint em all back to black soon. I love it when it's blacked out.

Thanks. I sanded lightly first, wiped down with mineral spirits, 2 light coats of Rustoleum self etching primer, then 2 coats of Rustoleum flat black paint.

I removed the wheels/tires for more room to work. I suppose you could skip that step but I'm running 35's and haven't installed my lift yet... Space is limited.
