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.

Let's see those Billet Silvers!

Where did you get your wheels from or what did you have done? How much lift did you go with?
Thanks!

More pictures to come once she has been offroad and since it is winter in CO, time to get dirty in the snow

I actually just plasti-dipped them..... My first experience with plasti dip, but it was super easy and I like that I can peel it right off if I want... Plus, its really cheap....

Just picked mine up a couple weeks ago. Had a Cherokee back in the day. Been dreaming of another Jeep since I sold her.

Only options are hard top, ac but that's how I like it! The lift went in super easy except for the sway bar linkage coming down at the wrong angle. I would suggest re-installing them AFTER lowering the jeep.

I had wanted the red color but couldn't pass up this silver once I saw it! Couldn't be more happy with the darker silver and black combo.

Rough country 2.5 inch coil spring lift with shocks. Black rock d-window aluminum wheels 17x8. Nitto TGs 285/70/17 (33s for those who dont like math). Will probably get security an some body protection soon, but otherwise she's done for the moment.

Sorry for the dark pic. I'll try to get a better better soon...

Good looking Jeeps. We considered the Billet Silver when we ordered ours. The Jeep site had two different shades of silver with one the old silver and the other a dark silver, nearly grey which we liked. We saw it on a new Avenger but it wasn't as dark as we thought it would be. If it were a bit darker we would have done it. We ended up with black. Can't go wrong with that but I would consider a different color silver in the future if it is darker.

This color looks great especially with the black accents.
