Default Performance Stickers

So I am done painting my XJ and now I am on to the next steps. I have beeen collecting performance stickers with all of my parts for a while and I was wanting to see examples of where other people have put theirs.




Not Pictured: Old Man Emu, Terraflex<br/>

I want to know which looks better, Windows or Body stickers?

OK... it's probably in one of the hundred or so "forum sticky's"... but where does one order the "CherokeeForum.com" sticker?

Personally... I've kept my jeep clean except for a "pro-comp" sticker on the bottom of the rear window. I think I'd prefer "window" to body locations simply for ease of removal if necessary.

I have to share this because it's kind of strange for me Ranger. As open, obnoxious and bold as I am, all my street racers were sleepers and I never did fly any stickers to give them away as possibly being fast. lol

Thought about it a lot of times, but never wanted to expose that possibility with performance stickers. Everyone else did though.

^ I'm with caged. One thing I really like about the XJ is the incredible visibility that all the windows offer. I don't need any stickers blocking that. With that in mind though, I suppose the best window to use to reduce that problem would be the back window, driver's side. I would never put stickers on painted metal.


I considered buying an FJ Cruiser once. That consideration ended as soon as I saw how terrible the visibility out of one is.

I only have one sticker on my rig and it says "Built not Bought". I even removed the pinstripes that came with my XJ

I much prefer the super clean look. Unfortunately for me, the factory "sport" stickers were buried in clear coat when the PO smashed the front fender so they are on there forever, and look really stupid and out of place

Not really a great picture, but especially if you have tint, don't do too many stickers

I have built not bought on the front, as well as my NRA member next to my dmv inspection sticker, then the back has my AAA, Terrorist Hunting Permit, Magpul and Gadsen Flag.

I dont run any gun related stickers. Don't need some assclown breaking into it and stealing my ****ing guns.

As above, all my "performance stickers" go on my tool cabinet.

I like funny stuff.



And this is a tradition my kids started with the first XJ.

I dont have a buttload on my jeep but I do love stickers. My toolboxes are all plastered with them. Mostly music and automotive related. some funny/odd ones and some tv/movie related.


I'll have to get some pics up

I've never understood the concept of keeping guns in the car unless I'm on a hunting trip or en-route to the range. If you ccw it should be on your person or in your purse.

I did these just because I gotta represent!

Its a Texas thing. I've tried to CC the 12ga, its reeeeally uncomfortable.

I dont keep anything in my cars i couldnt afford to lose, but it doesnt mean im gonna advertise that they're there. Ever try to unholster a CCW while wearing a seat belt? Try it sometime. Taurus .25 in the door of the BMW, Bersa .40 in the Jeep. Smith .38 goes wherever i go.

I think you can still get them on here. not sure where the thread is.
Anything I put on, which isn't much, because I'm not big into putting them on my vehicles...but I'd go with windows FTW.

Lol, i guess we're shaped differently. Ive tried a slew of holster/gun combos, never been able to carry comfortably there. I carry at 5, behind my right hip. No getting to that in a hurry in-car.

Years ago had a hobo try to basically climb in my driver side window. Dont think he was trying to carjack, i dunno what that crackhead was trying to do. Happened too fast to get to my weapon, so i just punched his face till he fell back, and i got the hell outta there. Cost me a trip to the doc to patch up my hand and get antibiotics.

Since then i keep something in easy reach when im driving.

My whole back window is covered in stickers. Can't see out of it with the spare tire on the back anyway so why not. It pretty much screams "Merica though. I'll have to see if I can find a picture.
