...I removed my visor stickers in May when I first got my JL.
Do know though, that that slight, rectangular outline on there that remains cannot be removed. It is not adhesive, but rather a non removal remnant lets say.
is there any chance we could get a pic of what it looks like after removal please? I've been planning on doing this but I'm a little concerned about what it'll look like after.

I play piano in a whorehouse
My newly installed 35" tire was vibrating a little much, so I removed it and changed the set up. I thought I'd share what I did, and what I used for anyone else adding 35" tires for the first time. This is on JL Sahara.

I'm using a Rough Country relocation bracket which seems to be rock solid. Will add the HD reinforcement soon to be safe.

1. Removed the tire. Rookie's tip - don't let that sucker drop the last foot, or it will bounce right back in your face :)

2. Re-routed the third brake light wire to give a little more slack in the cable - just undo the torx screws from the light mounting and lift the wire to the inner track giving an extra inch or so.

3. Extended the bump stops and put on a rubber foot to apply more even pressure on the tire (previously had cut PVC pipe only)

I used a piece of 1 1/4" OD PVC tube (a washing machine hose - $5 at Home Depot) and cut it to fit. This sits perfectly inside the factory bumpstop. I then used a rubber leg tip (meant for furniture - $3 for 2 at Home Depot) on the other end with a 1 1/4" interior diameter and 32mm in length. This sits nicely against the tire to distribute any pressure and stopped any vibration.

4. Finally done, I found out how hard it is to mount a nearly 100lbs 35" wheel/tire combo solo! My solution was to lift onto storage crates and get close enough to level up, then do final short lift to the carrier. That's my weight lifting done for the day :)

@HoundDude

Read here... there is a pic(s) . The outline seems a tad bit more pronounced in the pic then it actually is. Can tell you the outline is way better to deal with visually then the warning label.. I don't even notice the outline anymore.

If the visual is distracting you could cover it. Unfortunately, I don't know first hand as my JL hasn't arrived yet :(

It’s an (RC) Rough Country 30” hood mount. I would highly recommend to anyone. Install is very easy. I wired it to my Mopar Auxiliary Switch Bank which I had installed before installing the RC. My wife feels a lot more safe when driving on back country roads now when I allow her to drive it LOL
Thank you

i read through this thread... the remaining outline looks acceptable so I'm definitely going to attempt to remove the sticker with heat, thanks!

Had some clear protection film leftover from when I did the door sills so I applied it to my door hinges. Should work for now.
