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 Boltobye's not so fancy '13 Commando green Unlimited build thread

Well I have enjoyed this forum for a little while now and I guess I should contribute a bit.
I have had my Jeep for just under 2 weeks now and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have ideas and vision of how I want her to look but it will take some time for it to become a reality. For now I will do the little things and just enjoy owning my own jeep. Winter should be a blast.
Here she is the day I brought her home.


I wish I would have nagotiated to have custom rims and tires on it but in reality the stock ones will make a good winter setup so I think Ill keep them. Gotta do something about that shine though! I think plastidip will do for now!

That night in a parking lot

In the driveway the next day

This am because I like taking pics of her.

In my opinion the black suits the Commando Green much better. Next....a skull sticker I had made up that is part of a his and hers skull sticker thing the wife and I have going on. That shiny Jeep decal may need dipping as well!
I am hugely excited for the next few years and owning the jeep.
Stay tuned!
P.S. Cell phone pics suck

Great look with the wheels! I had mine professionally powder coated and ended up selling them when I moved up to 33's. Should have gone the plasti-dip route haha.

Plasti-dip the hinges to break up the green a little.

Looks awesome. Commando is meant to be accompanied by black wheels....
