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?

Seriously, is there a DIY remedy to this (BESIDES covering it up, or paying the dealership to pop it out?) I'm fully aware of those choices and don't want to take part in either one.

Search DIY paintless dent repair. There are lots of videos. Like this...

Trey, thanks for the info! Worked like a champ. Will have to take a few more pics now that I know how to attach multiple.

Put my doors on to wash my Jeep. (To protect it). Hopped in for something and the effin door swung all the way open until it made contact. I almost threw up.

The radio is a 430N non nav from a Town and Country. I bought it on Ebay for about $350. Plug and play install.

Parts I needed were:
Backup camera. Lots to choose from, I went with this one: http://www.amazon.com/EC170-07-Defin...+backup+camera

I got a heavy duty video cable too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o01_s00

Also need this to connect the video cable to the 430N: Amazon.com: PAC CHYRVD Rear Video Retention Cable For Select Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep Vehicles 2008-2012: Car Electronics

I ended up attaching it to the AEV CHMSL plate, which was like $60.

Install was easy. I installed the power to the passenger backup light, so the camera gets power when in reverse. I ran the video cable all the way to the front, and used the PAC CHYRVD adapter to plug into the 430N. I had to get the Jeep updated at the dealership, they apparently need to update something within the JK to know it has a backup camera. Some people get this free, some pay one hour labor. I know people at the dealer, so I was only charged $50.

Here is a thread where I learned how to do it: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-e...camera-295039/

you can't get rid of the dimple, it officially completes the requirements of being a true jeeper!!! (I'm totally kidding) I have the same dimple, but have just become used to it and nobody notices it (but I do have a white jk so...)
