Anyone who owns a Jeep, well, almost anyone really, soon comes to realize the vehicle is much more than just a people mover.
It becomes something you crave. Something you want to make part of your day. Something you want to make better.
And that is where personalization and style arrive on stage.
Sure, there are plenty of options out there that can help accomplish those ideas, but one of the most cost-effective and, frankly, fun ways to add some personalization and style is through Jeep decals.
Decals allow you to transform your vehicle into a unique reflection of your personality and interests. From showcasing your love for nature and adventure to expressing patriotic pride or paying homage to Jeep’s military heritage, decals can speak volumes without saying a word.
These things are not just about aesthetics; they are practical as well. Made from high-quality vinyl, they are designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures, including extreme weather conditions, mud, salt, and rough, off-pavement terrain. They are easy to apply and remove, giving you the flexibility to change your Jeep's look as often as you like without damaging the vehicle’s paint. Additionally, decals can cover up scratches or imperfections should either ever occur.
Jeep decals also come in a variety of styles, each serving a different purpose and catering to different tastes. From large side-body decals to subtle hood, fender or grille graphics, the choices are plentiful. And each style offers a unique way to enhance your Jeep’s appearance while also adding a layer of personalization perfect for your needs.
Here are the top five current styles among Jeep enthusiasts:
Scenic or Wildlife
Whether along the side of the body, on the hood, fender, or between the fender and door, mountain, lizard or footprint decals are perfect for those who love the great outdoors. These decals typically feature intricate silhouettes of mountain ranges, wildlife and the beach — encapsulating the essence of adventure and exploration. It doesn’t matter if you are an avid camper or just someone who loves the tranquility of nature; these decals are a visual reminder of all the adventures that lie ahead.
American Flag
For a vehicle that helped forge the reputation of America during World War 2, owning one these days definitely signifies that commitment to patriotism. And to back that up, Jeep was once again named America's most patriotic brand in a recent survey — the 23rd straight first-place finish. Owners across the country make it clear once again just what it means to drive a Jeep.
Decals make it easy to express that love. That may mean a flag on the hood, one strategically inserted between the fender flare and door, inside the grille, or even one splashed on those hood catches. These all symbolize pride, love of the country and a connection to the rugged, pioneering spirit of Jeep owners.
Military Inspired
Military-inspired decals pay homage to Jeep's origins as a military vehicle. Featuring stars, letters or number stencils, these decals evoke a sense of durability and reliability, essential qualities for any off-road enthusiast.
These decals are more than just a design choice; they signify a connection to Jeep's storied past and its evolution from a wartime utility vehicle to a modern off-road icon. Made to be weatherproof and UV-resistant, they maintain their appearance despite exposure to the elements, making them a meaningful and practical addition to any Jeep.
Slogans
Slogan decals offer a unique way to personalize your Jeep. Whether it's Jeep’s ‘Since 1941’ mantra, ‘Have Fun Out There’, ‘American Legend’, ‘Adventure is Everywhere’, or something else, a favorite slogan or catchphrase that resonates with your driving philosophy allows you to make a bold, personal statement.
The ability to customize these decals also can reflect your individuality, making your Jeep truly one-of-a-kind. High-quality vinyl ensures durability, even in harsh conditions, while the personal touch adds an extra layer of connection between you and your vehicle.
Replacement
Official Jeep badging is a prestigious symbol throughout the community, and is a way to add definition to the vehicle, as well as something to replace damaged or old badging.
From Jeep or Wrangler lettering affixed to previous factory mounting positions, to new Rubicon, Sport and Sahara decals, all the way back to CJ7 Laredo and Renegade options, there is plenty to choose from to fit your nature.
Plus, these decals are not just decorative; they are a mark of honor among Jeep enthusiasts. Made from durable materials, they can withstand the rough conditions of off-road driving, making them a practical and prestigious addition to your Jeep. They signal to others that your vehicle is built for tough terrains and adventurous trails.
