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.

Kind of the same, but different

This was my first Jeep, a 1997 TJ with a 4 cylinder and auto. (and you thought the JK was underpowered) I wish I would have taken off the for sale sign.




This is current Jeep. 2008 JK. Waiting for wheels, tires and lift of some sort.

i love people that are consistent!! and i love people that have the same taste as me! great looking jeep!

here's a tip for the black. be careful washing it as the paint/clearcoat is WORTHLESS.. drying it with to much pressure can scratch that thing and im not being sarcastic.

EDIT: i see u have different bumpers now so you have probably learned already about the paint lol

Yeah, then it would look a lot more like the second picture, huh?

When i was younger I use to detail cars on the side. The best product to use was sheeps skin (chami (sp?)) or a generic version called the absorber. You just lay it down on the vehicle and pull the chami across to pull the water off. If you cleaned the vehicle correctly you will never scratch a vehicle from washing/drying it.

Dude I love your black jeep. Can't wait to watch it grow up
The absorber is extremely awesome. Better than any chamois I've ever used. I don't have a scratch yet.

Awesome Jeeps and I love seeing the old and new.

didn't really scratch it drying lol that was sarcasm... but it did scratch from the brush i use at the car wash.. 6th vehicle and now i have to change my style of washing... i though my SCION XB had cheap paint... at least it never scratched at the car wash. i'm gonna make my dealer fix it as i believe a vehicle's paint should last over 3K miles.

however i will get drying tool ur talking about as a towel leaves streaks (never had black before)
