Super easy actually =] All you need is a hair dryer and Goo-Gone (make sure you get the one in a tin can, it seems to work better)
Before you start, make sure your car is clean and washed of any dirt that make scratch it when you rub the goo-gone. Heat up the sticker for about a minute or 2 and just start peeling it away. You will see how easy it is to do so. Just keep heating each section until it melts the adhesive and peel away.
Have fun =] you can do the same thing with the dealers sticker too.

wd40 works if you don't have goo-gone.
the hairdryer also works for removing the JEEP on the grille and the Trail rated badge - you can use fishing line to "saw" behind the letters

it was 45 degrees out when i took the badging off of mine. Used a heat gun or blow dryer, my finger nails, and neverdull to remove the sticky residue. Then i washed it off and but some wax over the area to protect the freshly exposed paint. For emblems i use fishing line instead of my fingernails. Have used this process on my show car so i know it works

I just recently did mine
I asked dealer about it and they said to spray it with wd-40 and then just peel it off..
That's the method I used to do mine and it worked great

I have never had any luck with chemicals on sticker residue. Either it doesn't cut through the residue, or I swirl the paint.
My favorite method is to take what you can of the sticker off using a heat gun or hair dryer. Then once the sticker has been removed, take it and re-apply it on the remaining glue residue, then lift it off. It'll pull up a little bit of glue each time you re-apply and lift. When just a little glue remains, simply just dab that area instead of re-applying the whole sticker. Do it repeatedly until all of the residue has been removed.
(note, this doesn't work for foam-backed molding trim - only single layer glue applications).
