My new Mango Tango Mountain. The first thing I did within an hour of driving it home was take the Mountain decals off. They pulled off very easy and just needed a little goo gone to clean up.
I wanted a Mango Tango and it had the options I wanted including the Rubi wheels and tires so the Mountain was perfect for me.

I just got my Mountain a few weeks ago, mainly because I liked the extras they threw on as well. Big thing for me was I wanted bigger tires. Unfortunately that meant changing out the wheels, as much as I like the mineral gray. I did get rid of the Mountain sticker as well--I liked it a lot when I first got it, but for some reason the thrill of it wore off.
Here's mine before (stock) and then with new wheels, 35s, and a 2.5" lift.
PS: Sorry, I didn't know how to put them in order. I'll work on it.

Did they at least beef up the suspension at all with the Mountain/Islander editions? I wish that the 23S package for the Sport included these tires, rather than the Wrangler tires it comes with. That's the only useful upgrade I see with the Islander/Mountain packages...unless I am missing something.On a side note, I noticed that with the same exact tire size as the SR-A, 255/75/17 my gas mileage dropped about 2mpg with the BFG MT's, I was consistently getting between 16 & 17 MPG with the stock tires, now my MPG reads 14.7.

I agree, I picked up a set of 5 brand new Mountain Edition wheels and tires from Craigslist this weekend. Paid $700 for the set of 5 and I love the way my Sport looks with them. I might upgrade to bigger tires when I wear these MT's out.

I took the Mountain decals off almost immediately, but left the black hood decal on. I'm now about to take it off also. It seems like a maintenance problem and I'm not sure it's really something I want anyway.
Anyone take the black hood decal off? Is there much adhesive to remove? The Mountain decals came off rather easily and not much adhesive cleanup, but of course the hood decal is much larger.
