Why Did I Remove the Vinyl Wrap from My JEEP WRANGLER?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This wasn’t an easy decision by any means, but in this video I’ll explain while after less than a year, I decided to remove the custom vinyl wrap from my Jeep Wrangler. I’ll show you how well it’s held up after being out on the trail many times, out in the sun and other weather conditions, then I’ll show the process I went through to remove it and share with you my thoughts on if I’d ever wrap it again?

Funny, I was just thinking the other day how good the wrap looks and how it adds depth and texture to the Jeep. So much for that!
Really liked the way you show all the love, affection towards your Jeep Wrangler, waiting to see upcoming mods & changes in 2020
Wow, its already been 10 months since you had it wrapped?! It still feels like it's been very recent. Sad to see it go but I cant wait to see the new look of the JK in 2020!

It was sad, but vinyl wraps are only meant to be temporary, so it was just sooner than later.

Yes. A great wrap, especially the hood as he said.
It makes sense Brad, also in my opinion the body in silver and black parts like the hard top,specially the wheels looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Awww. I loved the map!! But waiting to see the new changes.
Looking forward to seeing what the next look will be!
Great looking Springer you got there. Grew up breeding and training them.
The iconic TrailRecon Jeep as seen on all the trails & shows! Back to the norm and flying under the radar Looks good and simple now. 👍😎
Can’t wait to see what all you got in store for the JKU!
I'm so glad you are back to the JKU, wrap or no. Looking forward to what your plans are for it.
Glad to hear your keeping your jk. i too have a silver 12 jkur and couldnt imagine life without it. They really are special 🤠. Good luck with your future mods. Your truely living the dream 👊
Brad you can hear the emotion in your voice, we feel it with ya. You've done some amazing work growing this channel and this brand, we're with ya for the next steps!

Wanting to be a little more subtle while daily driving when not attending expos is a good point. I similarly lean more towards an inconspicuous look with nearly everything. That wrap is still badass and served its purpose well.
I know it took several days to do but you look very calm ,I think I would be loosing my mind doing that and it never fails there is always one bolt that screws you over and a ten minute job turns into two hours great video
Thank you Brad for this video, very educational about how wraps hold up and the whole wrap thing re the detail work!!.......very much looking forward to your future solutions to saving weight!! Thumbs up and take good care.
Great channel btw! I really enjoy stopping by and seeing your updates.

LOL, the wrap.....I did not really buy into the 'weight savings' but I REALLY understood the grocery store runs. I remember wanting to buy a really really cool looking Porsche 930 that was Yellow.......then I came to my senses. Love your honesty.
That was a great looking wrap. They did a very good job..

Great video Brad. I like it back to the original paint. Can’t wait to see your next video
I feel your pain! had to remove the decals from my vehicles when they were sold on. Such a pain to do
Cool that the wrap is removed man!!!
Sad to see the vinyl wrap go, it was definitely great looking. I completely understand wanting to fly under the radar at times. Excited to see what 2020 has to bring for the trailrecon rigs
I saw your rig at the LA Auto Show. It was exciting: "Hey I've seen this guy's vids!" Thanks! Looks great with or w/o the wrap. It's all great inspiration and information for what do do w/ my JK.
I totally agree with you! Awesome job. I personally would have left the hood portion on. It’s subtle and blends in great. Everything else, yep, time to go :)
Hi Brad...looking forward to what you do to the Wrangler next...i am new to over landing and have recently purchased a new Rubicon..I am curious to know if your 8 roof top lights make much noise going down the highway?
Your Jeep is AWESOME!!!! I watch your channel and all I can do is think of what I'll be doing to my Jeep here in the very near future. love the videos, and from one military man to another, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!

If you would’ve had a spare hood at the time the wrap was applied it wouldn’t sting so much . The map coulda made a Great Wall hanger for ya . Our possibly auction for charitable cause. Just my 2 cents. Keep doin what it is you do . It helps me get myJeep fix while it’s in storage . Happy Holidays from West PAC Okinawa

That hood wrap was awesome and yes it would have made a nice decoration for the garage or as a charitable gift to me since I too, have a silver JK. Heck I would have even swapper out my MW3 hood to help make it happen.
Cant wait to see your 2020 upgrades!! I saw Ronnie Dahl in your video! Great guy
i think it is a great idea -looks better
BAM....there he is again.
That was a nice wrap, I got to see it at Overland West in Flagstaff also.
I haven't seen a vid, so I'd like to ask: do you have a video with an opinion on the Patagonias? They are my next tire
I like the idea of putting a park map on the hood.
Brad’s going buggy on the wrangler! Time to go to Off Road Evolution.
Beginner with a JK here. How would you rate the rock krawler lift kit you had installed? Looking for a lift kit for my JK and looking on doing "rocklanding" just trying to get some input on good lifts. Really dont want to have my rear springs sag to much with weight on it. Any suggestions on lift 3-3.5 inch kits?
That was hard to watch. The wrap was amazing and I loved seeing it at Overland West in Flagstaff. 😕
Love your content.
Looking for the camping grill Marco uses with the round top. Where can I get that? Love the channel.

Sorry if you answered it in another video, but what happened to your old kmc silver wheels and cooper tires? Seems like you have the gladiators wheels and tires on there.
Great video. Do you feel the wrap protected the paint enough to warrant the expense ? I’ve accepted that I would be repainting the 4R at some point down the line since pin striping and chips are inevitable.
did you sand out the texture on the hardtop before wraping it?
Looks like you have a Springer Spaniel. Beautiful Dog!
Oh I really liked the look of it
I loved the way it looked, sad to see it go. I wouldn’t be ashamed at DD it, it’s your brand....but if you want to change it, that’s your call too.
Have you had corrosion issues with your hinges? Bubbling of paint due to them being aluminum?
I think you personality makes watching a wrap removal video worth it. Can't wait to see what's in store for your JKU.
Wow! I was surprised it didn’t leave u with adhesive goo on paint after removing. I understand wanting a less flashy logo on your DD but I really love the map hood and topographic map lines u had all over Jeep. That was my favorite part.
Going to miss that iconic look! But the clean look is nice as well...!
Looking forward to your future plans Brad . I liked the wrap , however I like the silver better . Take care my friend .
At 21 seconds there is a break down grill, what brand and where can I get one?
WOW! You put some time in removing the wrap. I like it on there but I like it better stock.
No! Loved the wrap.
Stoked to see more jk footage.!
Ursa minor tent is up next. Any bets on that one?
How much was it to get the vynil on your jeep
I soooo loved that wrap. You did make a point about it looking weird when removing the doors, but atleast if you do another wrap, dont make it too solid. Make a cool design to be noticed that your TRAILRECON!! Your awesome dude!
I kinda chuckled when you said your radiator is leaking. I just replaced mine last week!
Off topic but is that some kind of aftermarket insulation on the garage doors? If so, do you know what it’s called? My garage gets too cold in the winter, NYC

@@tdel8613 I'm guessing the Gladiator becomes the overlanding rig and the JK more of a crawler. Weight was mentioned as being a factor so that's where I see the new build going. Brad needs to hook up with Gerald at Savvy and start adding some aluminum to the JK.

Like I've said before...subscriber for life! You give such honest reviews and are not afraid to show how easy or difficult something is. Your editing is professional. You make viewers want to watch. Why you removed the wrap...it makes sense. New Trail Recon logo??? Guess I'll need to buy new T-shirts and maybe a hoodie. LOL. Again I ask...why don't you have your own show on cable or some network??? Thanks Brad....you ROCK!

Noooo! I loved that wrap. I was hoping you would put the same wrap on the gladiator
What did you do with your old wheels?
The wrap stuck well onto the black roof? I’ve read that it wouldn’t due to the fact that the black tops are not smooth..
I know you’re a busy man but this makes me miss your install videos my friend
I am curious as to how much does a standard vinyl wrap cost??? Plain without the fancy graphics.
Becoming "famous" has its costs; loss of anonymity being one. I worry a bit about some of your other YT friends that are perhaps too open and vulnerable. Your wrap really looked cool and really stood out. Now I can't wait to see what you will come up with next! Another nice video!
What brand wrap was that?
A garage heater in SoCal? SanDiego right, hmmm... Is the jeep now louder without the vinyl? Seems it would have a dampening effect on the noise
Hey Brad, would you ever consider doing a meet and greet? Thanks
Hello! What can one expect to pay for a 2 door Wrangler vinyl wrap in just 1 simple color? Thank you! Cheers from Denver CO!
When it comes to your next time, if you do the window, use window perf. You can see through it from the inside but still have it printed on the outside.
I would’ve left the grill and hood wrapped for the extra protection plus you loved the map on the hood
Man I loved that wrap. Their attention to detail was superb. That being said, she actually looks cool without the wrap, and she's 5 lbs lighter!
You're going the half door soft top route 😥 just like a common crawler?
Ursa Minor top in the future?
Watching the hood wrap come off almost made me cry. That was my favorite part of the wrap. I might need to do something like that event for the Denali Highway in Alaska. Who created that artwork for the wrap?
You have a bored puppy at 9:06! 😄
Goin w the Ursa major thing or whatever the pop top is called maybe?
