Default Rubicon Stickers Peeling Off

My Rubicon stickers on the hood are cracking and peeling off. Is anyone else having this issue? Mine's an 08 that hasn't really seen that harsh of weather. Not really a big deal, but thought they would have lasted longer.

My 07 have been peeling for a while.
Ill admit my jeep does see hard weather conditions, snow, salt, blasting dust and gravel.
I ordered a few off e-bay and will probably wait untill at least 1 letter is totally gone to replace the entire sticker.

If your ass was on that hood all day with the sun beating down you would want to get off of it as well.

I was able to get to my dealer in time before my 3/36K warranty expired and they put it on my file to get replaced whenever.

I have 66k miles, so the original warranty is shot. I did buy the lifetime Max care warranty but have a $100 deductable. I have'nt priced out the stickers but I'm sure they are less than $100.

mine are peeling mostly at the front (the R on the driver's side and the N on the passenger) but i'm not too worried. i see the other letters are pretty rough too but it gets worse as you get further towards the front of the jeep. when people inquire i simply tell them that it's a common issue with such a fast vehicle. the adhesive just isn't strong enough for the speeds i run

i'll be getting a snorkel so i'm not worried about the passenger side. the driver side will likely get replaced with something custom once i get the snork

Default Rubiclone??

I replaced my stock bright silver Rubicon stickers with a more subtle charcoal metallic version from these guys.

Mine have been on over a year & still look like new.

Reasonably priced, high quality & a nice selection in stock sizes.

Recommended.

I was going to make a smart remark about how when your Rubicon stickers fall off you will loose a significant part of your off-road capability.

But I won't.
