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.

It's the Saws-All on the floor that really sells it.

Line X and the can Duplicolor Bedliner are two different coatings. The Line X is a professional spray coating that is SUPER tough. The Duplicolor is a bedliner in a can and is not as tough. Ive used both and I would never use the Duplicolor again. The Duplicolor is ok for the interior but on the exterior it chips. It is just not my cup of tea. If you are going to seriously offroad your jeep the Duplicolor would be great because you can touch it up when you scrape it on rocks or trees. I have my grill and both bumpers sprayed in Line X. I had both bumpers on my 73 bronco sprayed too. Line X will look brand new for a long time if you keep a good protectant on it. I had the bumper sprayed in Rhino but the Rhino looks too rubbery and the texture stinks.

I had my bumpers sprayed for about $150 each and the grille was about the same.

I got it from Dave at Northridge. They were offering free shipping earlier this month, and may still be.

I only run it in the winter. The spare matches my summer wheels.

No pissing decal on my vehicles.

The reason for the cover is because I was tired of EVERYONE calling it a Hummer. I bet I have at least one person a day at work call it a Hummer.

You would understand if you had a 4 door.

Who said anything about hating Hummers? Stating your vehicle is not a Hummer doesn't imply you hate Hummers... That comment was unreasonable, and poorly informed. I understand your frustration Ktnr. I was asked tonight if my unlimited was a "Jeep Hummer". I get tired of hearing it too. That is why I think you tire cover is AWESOME!

I barely have 2 ft of clearance on any one side of the JK as it is. I love the MOPAR rear bumper, I'm definatly going to have to get that.


***EDIT***

I read that you did it but didn't even notice the LineX on the grill until after I posted my reply! That's amazing! Is it very noticable in person?
