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.

Hail Damage Anyone?

Anybody have a used hood?
If I remember right, the color matched AEV hood goes for about 1100 or so. You could go with that and still have a nice chunk to get a bumper.

This is what I would do, but I really want the AEV hood.

The weather you guys down south are having is unreal...stay safe.

Help me understand what is so great about the AEV hood? $1100 is a bunch of cash for just a hood...I mean that amount would buy a hard top, gears, etc...

Yes, it is not a cheap hood, but it is STOUT and very slick.

Pick one up after hoisting a stock hood and your eyes will bug out....much beefier.
