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.

Just showing off some new mods... and my girl

Ya, how did you go about it.

Take the tires off?
Sand them down before?

Also, how did you go about getting the plastic off the bumper and do the fog lights still mount?

Thanks, looks great!

Theres the bumper as promised.

As for the wheels. I took them off my jeep, cleaned the rims with brake cleaner, marked the placement of the balance weights with a silver sharpie on the tire, sanded them with 220 grit until they looked white. I masked the tire off by sticking cards (like the poker kind) inbetween the rim and the tire. Then I gave them a coat of the spray on bed line (duplicolor). Once it dried I put the weights back on then gave the wheels two more coats. SO EASY! Took me about 2 hours. (Note: take the cards out of the rim while the bedliner is still wet. If you let it dry the bedliner sticks to the cards and is a pain to get out... ask me how I know)

As for the bumper. The fogs will not mount into the steel bumper. They mount into the plastic. There is a thread somewhere on this site about someone who made brackets to use the fogs with the steel bumper but I just opted to not use em.

Everything I did was done following threads from this site. There is SO much info on here about these cheap and easy mods. Reds Fender Chop thread is what gave be the balls to cut mine. But after two minutes struggling with my dremel trying to cut the fenders... I put a nice new blade on my utility knife and cut them that way. Was alot alot alot easier.
