People confused why I removed Mojave hood stickers and badges from my Jeep

[silverandscout]

Stickers/Decals do make a vehicle, that's why so many Sports have Rubicon decals on the hood. I personally like personalizing my vehicles just to standout from other cookie cutter vehicles. This is what I would like to do to a Willys model, remove the Willys decals and install a set of old st

yle Islander decals.

I came very close to doing the Islander theme on my Mojave, but I did this instead. Sometimes I really think about switching to the islander graphics. I, too, removed my Mojave stickers soon after I bought it.

Ive debadged a bunch of vehicles I've owned.
It's a Jeep, making it yours is a right of passage

I was certain that I would be removing the Mojave badges when preparing to buy my Gladiator… mostly because I didn’t want to look ostentatious and was concerned about clients thinking I spent too much money on a vehicle. I was worried about the “raptor” type of impression.

That said, I immediately fell in love with the look and I wouldn’t think of it now. IMO, the Mojave/Rubicon is the perfect “fancy” sleeper, and while in the ballpark price of a raptor, I find it just subtle enough that no one thinks much of it.

The factory stickers are just enough to scratch the childish cool truck itch. At the end of the day, do what makes you happy and forget about other peoples opinions. I often think, if no one else ever saw me driving a vehicle would I still make the same choices? The answer is always yes and that is where true fulfillment comes from.

Your rig looks fantastic! I usually don't like non-factory graphics being added on, but this really works so well. The Orange/Yellow on the Hydro-blue, plus the roll bars in the back with the KC Highlighters! LOVE it. Very well thought-out and consistent theme/branding... So far one of my favorite looking Gladiators here! (Despite not being a Gobi! LOL)

Mine is not a Rubicon. Don't pretend it is one. Once I add a few choice things....

I'm running mopar steel and it came with red hooks....maybe I need to choose my own color...
Only think I'll lack is auto disconnect sway bars... But getting in the dirt before I wheel keeps humble..

Replaced my"Mojave" hood decals to make space for its name. Anyone worth their Jeep salt would recognize it's not an imposter (shocks, skids, desert rated badge, lift, etc).

Your Jeep your rules!

I also debadge my vehicles. Did my JT and my JLU the day we got home with them. I despise the little emblems dealers use so while I'm at it I just take off everything. The only things I left were the raised letter "Jeep" on the tailgate and sides.

I will add though, that I run full size graphics so no one would see them anyway.

I did the same, dealer badging really drives me nuts, my vehicle isn't for free advertising

Today I learned that "debadging" isn't only for people who have a 318i and pretend it's an M.

I would guess the average person that’s not into Jeeps at all does not have a clue what Rubicon or Mojave or anything means on a Jeep, I know my neighbors don’t have a clue

Agree.

Personally I’m happy to finally have another car/truck with big decals. It still can’t compete with my Trans Am (it has 10 decals / emblems on it?).
