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.

Well....it was gonna happen eventually.

Now how do I fix it?

Anyone got a cheaper alternative?

Duct tape.. That looks like good damage. Have you looked up corner armor might be able to cover it/ protect

That's a pretty nasty hit... How did it happen? I think corner armor may cover that. Just make sure you sand down the busted paint and prime it before covering to prevent rust.

Slid into a tree down a muddy hill.

Surprised the tail light didn't break.

Don't know if the tail light is straight anymore more since it got pushed in, so the armour might not line up.

Wondering if I can just get it popped and painted then. Read a thread on here that a guy got his popped and re-painted for $250

that looks like a crease not a dent, I don't think you can pop out creases.

I did the same thing to my JK and thought Poison Spyder Crushers Corners could cover it... you have to have to fix the damage first. I think it cost about $250 or $350 to fix the damage.

When mine was fixed they replaced the panel and did it for about the same.

Oh man. Been there done that. The body shop pulled it out. But I didn't like it so I had them replace it.
