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.

Default 2008 JKU "Command Car" Build

This 2008 JKU I have owned since new. Originally a white X with black fenders I slowly added, changed, swapped and ran it in different configurations. In 2025 it was looking worn although I had kept the interior in good shape with seat covers, floor mats, and routine cleaning. Luckily my brother-in-law and his son do body and paint work. We schemed out a retro themed Wrangler based on ideas I had and scouting ideas on the internet. When the new "41" Jeep color came out we decided that was a great OD paint to use. We stripped the Jeep down last summer, pulled the hood, fenders, interior out and painted. The interior is actually a colorized 41 bedliner like you use in a truck. No carpet and I rewrapped all of the wiring in OD loom. I have completed painting the door panels and some of the necessary interior trim. Eventually I will update the dash and center console. It's been a lot of fun. Yes, all of the bumper and hood numbers are not random, they have a connection to my fathers and my service. The number 144028 on the hood is the build number from the assembly line that Jeep provided me a few years ago.
