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.

Any real military peeps give you crap over the US Army stuff?
Being a Master Sergeant in the US Army gets me past all that since I am a real military peep.

looks awsome guys! but my finger hurts thinking about it. I painted my bumper last weekend and my finger was sore from 10 coates. why didnt you just pick up a cheap gun from harbor frieght and a quart or two of drab and flatner?

i love it!

this particular paint comes out best from an aerosol can. This guy spent years perfecting this paint, and the majority of people that use it use aerosol cans. We didn't want to use just any olive drab like some Krylon Camo paint, we were trying to stay true Jeep's WWII heritage and this paint is the closest you can get to authentic WWII era olive drab.

you can read more on this paint here:

What could your HOA possibly say? If it doesnt leak and is in good repair does it matter????


I was just trying to be funny.

Just a question.....flat paints are notoriously EASY to scratch. Did yall seal it with anything?
