I debadged everything, unlimited stickers, trail rated decal, jeep on the front grille, and replaced the rubicon vinyl with black so you really can't tell unless you're close up on it. Looks much better to me debadged and clean.

I left the trail rated badge on but took the decals off. If anything I'd add a trail rated to the other side.

I could but I really don't want to lose my driving lights

The downside about taking your badge off is now it looks like a 2wd jeep ( they don't come with badges )

JKUR. I took off everything except the trail rated badge. Looks super clean. I'm pretty sure everyone knows its a Jeep still. Never been a fan of stickers but I put an Oscar Mike in the middle of the hood and on the rear quarter. When I can pony up, I'll remove them and paint them on like ghost flames.

Old credit card and a heat gun... Took me about 15 minutes.

Default Nothing but my Autobot sticker, which is subtle.

I left the Trail rated badge and Jeep on too I guess, but took off the side decals:

I was wondering how to safely remove the decals. A hair dryer and a credit card will do it?

Use a hair dryer to loosen up the adhesive and then slowly pull the decals off. If any adhesive residue remains, you can use Goo-Gone to remove it without harming the paint. Be sure to follow up with a good coat of wax afterwards.

That is another option I did not think of. I really like the Plasti dipped Jeep Badge on the front. I still think the decals on the lower front quarter panels have to go. Nice clean looking Jeep!
