All - I am picking up a new 2022 392XR tomorrow and it has the lower body decals. I am not a sticker/decal person. So, has anyone removed them. Blow dryer trick work? Or am I in for a bigger job?

On a new vehicle they should come off easily. Use your fingernail or a plastic scraper to peel a corner of the decal then grab it with your fingers and pull outward and towards the part of the decal that is still on the vehicle. Old decals that have been on many months or years are a much bigger problem and require heat, scrapers etc which can easily damage the paint.

Just peel them off. If they give you a issue, just heat them up with a hair dryer. If some of the glue remains, just purchase some goo gone from Ace Hardware.

Odd. Normally you would have paid to have those as they're not "stock"
I didn’t order the Jeep… This one matched what I wanted minus the fact it had the decals. So yes, I “paid” for something I didn’t want ;)

Ah ok, thought you were talking about the wrangler unlimited decal under the Jeep badge, as this is the one people normally remove shortly upon delivery.

Ditch that Wrangler Unlimited decal. It just looks cheap. Not sure why FCA still uses it. I believe it's the same since the intro of the Unlimited JK. I was going to pull all the badges off and replace with all black ones but once I priced replacements out, I learned to deal with the red accents.
