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.

If it's a raised logo, get some dental floss and slowly slide it in behind and cut the backing away. If it's just a sticker lift a corner and pull it off.

Use a heat gun on a low setting. That should losen up the glue enough to pull it off. I did that to all the decals/logos on mine and it didnt ruin the paint at all

It might, no guarantees. They aren't that expensive and do come in handy though.

will prolly take a little longer, but yeah... dont hold it in one spot too long, though...
work it around. and good point - fishing line is stronger than floss to push its way through.



edit: take it back to the f'n dealer and tell them youre not advertising for them
