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?

Knock on wood.. haven't had a problem yet, and I'm for sure noticed. It doesn't hinder visibility AT ALL, in fact it helps. I have some fiends with other vehicles with much darker tint.. visibility is a much different story with them.

It makes the Jeep look 100x better. I love the way it turned out

I started with an air grinder, but the two compressor I tried couldn't keep up. So I went back to my electric grinder with a 4" disk. Then beat it out with a ball ping hammer.

Leave them black.... You can always paint later if you choose
Edit: at first glance I thought they were black(they aren't .... If they were black I'd still say leave them but being what they are I'd paint them black or color match)

Paint them....NOW! Stop them from laughing, all of them.
Oops, sorry, my tinfoil helmet slipped off and the voices came back.
I still say paint 'em. Nice doors.

Paint them. You could have gotten a set of black ones for $400. You went Mopar. Match them up.

Finally got around to installing the poison spyder b pillar armor I've had for about a month.

First holes are always the trickiest!

All done! Getting pretty good with the nutsert tool. A good drill bit and a proper nutsert tool is key!
