Males who derive their masculinity from the propulsion system for their car's wheels.
Sounds kinda sexist, I know several females who drive jeeps. I've helped them install lift kits, bigger tires and heard them wish they had a V8. Just sayin' :)

Yeah I want to remove the factory stickers from my Willys. The stupid "4 wheel drive" and dealer sticker off the tail gate. I'm afraid I'll fuck up the paint though.

The "Willys" on the hood doesn't bug me because it's black and my JT is black. It's subtle so it looks fine to me.

Believe that falls under:

5. "Stupid" stickers
The Gadsden Flag gets a bad reputation, through no fault of it's own, usually by the people that fly that flag. For one, it's not "the" flag so it's use by a certain demographic is hilariously and ironically un-patriotic.

But what's worse is they took a good cautionary bright yellow flag about the dangers of stepping on snakes and turned it into something ugly. I can't even count all the times I've been walking around, minding my own business, and I come across a snake and was like, where the fuck is the Gadsden Flag that's supposed to warn me of such dangers?

Just use a heat gun on low setting to get the area warm, then use a plastic scraper (on Amazon for about $10). If they are particularly stubborn, use some Goo Gone. I've been de-badging all of my vehicles like this for years and haven't ever damaged the paint.

I like the nod to the old willys, but you can remove the stickers with a blow dryer or hot air gun without damaging the paint. I removed all my decals from my 2012 sahara, and replaced them with willys lol (to replicate my 2004 Willys TJ that I regretted selling.)

Only because I’m guessing you’ve never driven one.
I have. I have driven two different model Teslas. They are amazingly quick. I will give them both that. I drove one 30 miles and one 200 miles. That’s not the same as owning one, of course, but to me, they are just soulless, like driving a vacuum cleaner on wheels. I used to hate them, I don’t anymore, but I still wont spend my money on one until I am forced too. But to each their own:).

Thank you @James H and @Riverdog I'll give it a try.
The raised emblems are a bit stubborn, but it can still be done. I removed and replaced my fender raised Jeep emblems because they were crooked from the factory.

Dealer vinyl is really easy. A little heat and you can pull it off with your fingers without a scraper. Goo gone, very small amount on the paper towel, to finish it off. I make sure to get rid of any remaining goo gone immediately to avoid it spreading.

For raised emblems I heat them up with the hot air gun, and then drag a piece of fishing line behind them and they usually pop right off.

I don't mind the raised emblem....like the tailgate and front fender "JEEP" emblems....but the dealer and 4 wheel drive stickers are gonna go bye bye
