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.

Bear in mind I use a 2012 N7. The 2013 fits, too, using the thinner side supports included with the TabTite mount. The aspect ratio is a tad off, but it works. Not sure about other devices.

Don't know if it's of any help, but I have a Nexus 7 and use this mount for it:
RAM Mount Universal Tablet Mount Small Tab-Tite Cradle RAM-HOL-TAB-SMU

It's then attached using other RAM ball mounts, let me know if you need pics.

Pretty much what I used as well. Mine looks slightly different (end tabs anyway), however same idea.

Hey all, just wanted to say hi. Came around looking for ideas for our 2013 Commando Green JK Wrangler Unlimited. This is my third jeep, behind a 94 cherokee, and a 2000 wrangler sahara. Having bought this one new, and finally being at the point in life where I can afford to customise it I thought I would ask if anyone could give a good starting spot for expedtion mods. Currently live in mid-state California, and will eventually(within a year) move back to my home state of NC. Both have good spots for exploring and offroading.

A few things I am interested in, a roof rack, a wench on the front, and id like to plastidip the front grill and the tire rims. Is this a good place to start? Can anyone point me to good sites to get started with those things?

To anyone who has plastidipped the front grill/tires, how difficult is it to do? Do I have to remove the tires and grill? just spray it on?

thanks for everyones replies!

You're pretty much on the site to do that stuff. If you want technical tips on how to plastidip then you can check out 'dip your car' on youtube, the guy plastidips everything he touches.

All you really have to do is spray the stuff on, but I would suggest cleaning it ahead of time then spraying it on. Do a bunch of layers because it'll peel up easier in the future and will be less chip resistant.



Removing the grill is well worth the time since it will prevent any overspray on the rest of the jeep- it's a step you'll be glad you took.

This thread. At 3,229 posts (and one more with this one), there's plenty of info here to give you ideas. Runs, mods, etc. Once you find something, feel free to quote it using the forum tools and ask any questions. Some of the oldest posts have lost links to images, and some of the folks who used to regularly participate no longer do, but I expect someone will chime in and attempt to offer help or point you in the right direction for it. Glad to have you around!
