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.

Default Here are mine





They came out great (don't mind the fingerprint smudges on the unmounted pic). Everybody loves 'em.

I would love to have the wheels powdercoated properly, but I think I'd rather put my funds towards some awesome tires and some goodies.

I am, without a doubt though, painting the OEM rims satin black. I've just picked up a can of Plasti-Kote super lacquer... much stronger than enamel. It's 'hot rod' black... ya know, like old rat rods and such.

Need a guinea pig so I painted my B&D weed whacker's shaft with it, lol... and I love how it turned out. Gonna take the plunge and paint all the wheels as soon as I can. Will certainly post up some pics when I do.

All these JK's look kick ass with black wheels!

I would get on it right away but I need to figure out some way of keeping the Jeep up on stands while I do this. Don't have another set to drive on while I get the job done.

I would leave it at work, but it woud have to sit outside and the chance of someone damaging it on stands in a parking lot is too great.

Will be doing all the badging with the same paint so I'll throw up some pics of that as well!
