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.

That's awesome! The advantage to the caps it you can just pop-em off for the trail! I am one of the freaks that likes my new 13' Rubi wheels, and I dread the first trail rash. If I had the Moabs I would be on these like stink-on-poo

I just pop them on for the road, off for the trail and they look pretty darn good:

What are the specs on the steel wheels behind those?

None - they are the factory Moab alloy wheels.

I used Rustoleum Charcoal Gray. A bit darker than MOPAR uses, but I like it.
