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 Show your RETRO touches to your JK

I have always had a soft spot for the classic "CJ" decal and wheel packages, and have seen several JK owners who have applied them to their newer rigs. Things like white steel wheels, wagon wheels, and redesigned 70's and 80's decal packages (Renegade, Golden Eagle). If you like the retro CJ look, then let's see what you've done, or what you may be thinking of doing.

I have been shooting for an early 70's Renegade look for my JK, and I like how it's coming along. As soon as I can figure out how to attach photos from my tablet, I'll show you what I've done. In the mentime, let's see some more retro JK' s!

I've got a Copperhead jk and I'm thinking of going with a tan top and Cragar Outlaw II rims. I think that Copperhead could make a really cool retro look.

for some reason I just couldn't grow to like the modern decals on my Sahara...when I saw these retro decals on eBay they were ordered right away. It's a subtle change but I like how it confuses the uninformed (like the sales people at the Jeep dealership in the next town along from me today - terrible place and staff but the gf spotted a Renegade and wanted to test drive it).

That color would be great for a retro. Have you seen the new white spoked wheels that Collins Bros are selling? I think those would look great on your jeep.

Great touch! Used to have those same light covers on my old truck.
