is it possible to remove the side trimming? or would it look stupid or would it look like a regular cherokee? im just wondering because im not liking the trim very much nor the Stock fender flares on it.

If you like door dings and dents and want your paint ruined then take them off... If you treasure your paint... then don't

The side trim has saved me countless times.

FYI I used a $10 heat gun and a old credit card. Took maybe 20 mins all together. Make sure you hose the trim off good before hand, a lot of sand and junk gets stuck back there and can scratch the paint during removal

Goo gone, or a heat gun works too to take the glue off. i parked under a tree and got sap all over my rig and it dryd up, sprayed axe body spray on it and it came right off. You could try that aswell iv used it to take off stickers before aswell

Heat gun or a hair dryer is your best bet to get the adhesive off . . then use a rag and some goo gone to get the rest of the residue off

Heres mine after about 30 mins with a hair dryer
