Default Sticker-less?

I have seen a few jk's with the side decal taken off, such as the "x" and "wrangler". Just wondering if anyone can give some advise on how to get those suckers off? Thanks all!

Peel off with fingernail.
Clean with WD-40, Goo Gone, or whatever other adhesive remover of your choice.

use a hair drier to warm up the sticker.. no goo left behind be careful when you start to peel not to scratch the paint.

my wife and i pulled our X decals off before we left the lot. after a day of driving, some light dust had accumulated. it wiped off easy with my hand - can't tell there was ever a sticker there unless you already knew.

I took all the stickers and the Trail Rated badge off. It was cold so I used a hairdryer to warm the stickers a little before peeling.

For the most part they will peel off if not frozen. Once thats all done you would want to clean it up with goo gone or wd40. Then wax it after that. (you will notice the where the stickers were if you dont wax.)

I peeled mine off after the first week. Came right off, didn't even need to clean it. I just used my fingernail and a hair dryer. "Unlimited" was the worst because you have to peel off every letter.

When I ordered the Jeep I told them not to put the stickers on. He said they would not do that.

I would try heating it from the back, if possible. Be sure to pad the opposite edges that you are prying from so it does not cut into the paint, as it bends. The Trail Rated badge is pretty small. Hope it works for the dealer's badge.

I would go beat the dealer senseless.

I had a Ranger all decked out for show purposes, had to take it into the dealer for some ABS service work, when i got it back from them it had dealer stickers all over it. They where on the front fenders under the "Ranger" badge, on the tailgate in TWO spots. They took OFF my aluminum lighted license plate frames and put those cheap-assed plastic dealer license plate covers on it instead.

You wanna see someone flip out? I lost it. the service manager was hiding behind his desk & the "mechanic" was suddenly "on lunch"

:angry:


they couldnt get the stickers off fast enough & they had my plate shrouds soldered back in recrd time. (oh, i forgot to mention they cut the wires to the lighted frames... CLEARLY violating state inspection procedures by removing my plate lighting) - Not to mention what i called outright THEFT of my covers.
