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.

You aren't the only one. When Chevym14 and I originally discussed the plan to do this I was very hesitant and I delayed painting her for weeks out of fear. I finally broke down and did it and can honestly say I'd do it all over again if I bought another JK.

Its nice to know I have no fear of getting a scratch on her as its a very easy fix.

The new camo paint is Krylon Camo Fusion which is probably some of the best spray paint Ive ever used out of a can. The camo job is now several months old and still looks like the day it was painted.

Most people are fooled into believing it is a real Army Jeep. Being in the Army myself for 20 years I can't tell you how many people stop and stare at it.

I need to get some better pics up this week.

Good job, through all the stages I am newer to the forum and both the OD and camo paint jobs were great.

Sweet rig.


Why flat fenders in the rear and stock in the front?
