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.

Who has scratches?

scratches on rims from rock rash - but for the most part I take care of it and try not to get dings from doors and stuff. If its on the trail thats one thing AND expected... but from a dude in a parking lot.... not cool.

Both sides, hardtop and hood have "pinstriping" from heavy brush. The first time I went out I cringed hearing a branch hit the door. Second time was heavier brush. I damn near had a heart attack after seeing my entire jeep scratched to hell and it only being a few months old. Mine is black so it looked pretty rough. Got a lot buffed out but for the most part it's all scratched up. Realized its gonna happen since I bough it to go where the blacktop ends. Here's what made me cringe.

I often wish I did 2 things.
Not buy black
And not buy a brand new wrangler. Haha :-)

I have so many scratches on mine I just look at it as extra pin striping. As a matter of fact my wife pulled in the driveway today after I cleaned off all the mud, walked in the house and said "real nice scratches you have all over the Jeep" First one made me a little upset now I just say whatever there another scratch.

I'm the same way. First one upset me. Now it's just badges of honor. It's not a show vehicle.

Damn, mine is scratched to hell! But it comes with the territory I guess, I don't shy away from the tight trails!
