Is there a version of this available for the TJ? Is this a good (relatively inexpensive) option to cover up paint fade on the hood caused by the sun and heat soak from the engine? How well would the vinyl stand up to the heat soak from the engine? I'm asking because I'm considering something like this for my '99 TJ
you forgot if you live in the desert like i do that hood blackout keep you from being blinded at dawn and dusk every day if you use your jeep as a daily driver. and you are right it looks so good on a bright color jeep i love mine on my Mojito Green JL Sport S.
As a bright white JLU owner, I a concur with the hood blackout protecting your eyes during these hours. Which is usually the time going to and fro the trails.
I appreciate you showing how to remove the insulation and washer. This is the only video I could find that did that. I was stuck on that part. Great job.
This Extreme Terrain hood decal looks better than the Mopar version. The Mopar decal has large pre-cut holes for the bumpers. However, the Mopar tolerances are not too tight so you can see paint between the bumpers and the decal. Btw... It is easier to just peel the entire decal off of the backer paper first.
Looks great on my white gladiator. Im terrible at this sort of delicate job but this video really helped. The decal was very forgivable as i had to pull it up a couple times and reposition it. Was curious why not print them with the cut out for the windshield rubber but oh well. I recommend using something soft over the plastic squeegee, I had some microfiber paper towels that worked great.
I didn’t see anyone mention this, but I thought it would be advantageous. Using a razor MAY create a small area where the paint is compromised, and allow moisture access to the metal and corrosion to form - believe me. I have a vehicle that has this EXACT PROBLEM WITH RUST, in several tiny areas where the wrap was cut with a razor. But An easy way to get those holes done is to heat up the tip of a nail and melt a small hole into the vinyl. Use gloves, but it does not take too much heat. The bolts/clips will slip through easy and maintain that moisture barrier.
Ryan mentioned in the video that the push pins were not meant to be reused. He is correct. All deformed and several of mine broke when I pulled them out. I have two pieces of push pins in my hood.
Everything I’ve installed on my jeep has been nothing but a project. You’d think for $50 they’d precut it’d so you don’t have to take the entire hood apart first. It’s a friggin sticker for god sakes

Can you show me where to get extra clips and the right clip puller for this video?

There are decals like this with the cutouts for the washer nozzle/windshield rests

You’re correct but the JL wrangler has an aluminum hood so rust wouldn’t be an issue

What are the dimensions for this decal? I can’t find them anywhere.
What kind of soap do you use, dish soap?
Is this decal removable?
Absolutely! -Zach
@@extremeterrain how do you remove it?
What is the soapy water ratio water to soap in the spray bottle, please?
I've read that it's 95% water, 5% car wash soap
