Notices
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?

Installed my daystar hood wranglers. A little bit of a pain but well worth it! I highly recommend them.

Dealer replaced my IP (EVIC was not working). Not sure why this one doesn't have silver trim, but I like it more.

Very well done, excellent work. I assume you built a mold and poured the piece yourself. some info on how you did this would be interesting.
Thanks

Thank you all for the compliments.

I made it from fiberglass mostly, I put the list of what I used below. Its a fairly lengthy process. You can see more pictures of it on page 3 in my build thread here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...-294425/page3/

I'm going to build another one and do a complete how-to write up. I just need to pick up an upper windshield trim piece.

I used the following to build it:
You need to build a wood structure, so some MDF, wrap it with fleece or thicker t-shirt material, Cyanoacrylate glue (Its ultra super glue… makes regular super glue look like Elmers), fiberglass resin, a little fiberglass mat, cups for mixing, cheapo paint brushes, bondo (I only use Rage Gold), mixing tray, mixing sticks (free at home depot), bondo applicators, sand paper (40, 80, 120, 320), SEM high build primer, SEM Texture coat, SEM Adhesion Promoter, SEM Paint, SEM satin clear and of course… sun light… for the free UV rays to dry all this stuff in a reasonable time.

I've been building things like this for years. I swear I should make these and sell them lol. Seems like most of the pods out there are cheapy made, don't fit quite right or don't quite hold the switches properly.
