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.

What was done to your JK this week?

Yeah don't want to remove it altogether. Just to tiny it. Looks like I'll have to take off the spare to do it.

I discovered that if you plasti dip with the parts around 70-72 degrees in an air conditioned shop and set overnight. Is will come out with an almost perfect flat finish. It looks factory. I did it outside once and the wheel temp was hot and when the plasti dip hit the wheels it dried fast and left a rough finish. Did the next set inside, in the a/c on cool parts and it was smooth as silk. Just FYI

I got a pretty smooth finish out of it. I'm in AR and we had a cold snap. I was in the garage with a heater so it was in the butter zone you described. I'm happy with it. I had some MT Classic IIs on back order for months and finally canceled so I needed a change.
