- 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!
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!
I really excited about the things I'll be doing to the Wrangler... first I got to fix this stupid radiator leak though!
Indo Wrangler yeah only felt like couple weeks ago
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.
Really liked the way you show all the love, affection towards your Jeep Wrangler, waiting to see upcoming mods & changes in 2020
Love your JK videos and can’t wait to see what you do next. Keep the inspirations coming!
Great channel btw! I really enjoy stopping by and seeing your updates.
Thank you!
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.
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!
@geekytechycool you definitely could. I saw it in his face too. Closing a chapter is tough like that but he knew what he had to do. Gotta keep the momentum.
kinda sad... that was such a nice wrap!
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.
First: Thank you for your service.
You've made a great channel I enjoy watching.
Cant wait to get my gladiator moded out like yours.
Thank you!
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 👊
Excited to see what your 2020 plans are!
Great video thank you!
Cool that the wrap is removed man!!!
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. 👍😎
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.
Great video Brad. I like it back to the original paint. Can’t wait to see your next video
Awww. I loved the map!! But waiting to see the new changes.
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.
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
It looked so good! I understand going to the store part.
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.
Love your content.
Cant wait to see your 2020 upgrades!! I saw Ronnie Dahl in your video! Great guy
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!!!
Thank you for your service!
Great looking Springer you got there. Grew up breeding and training them.
Looking forward to seeing what the next look will be!
"why did I remove my wrap?" - to wrap it again!
dmitry krivoshchekov he’s probably getting ready to sell it for another JL.
@@tdel8613 Nope!
@@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.
Must be nice to tear off $5,500 worth of stuff
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.
glad to see you paying some attention to ol' silver!!!
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!
Thank you for being a long time follower! I genuinely appreciate all the support along the way.
TrailRecon
Thank you Brad. Your hard work and dedication means a lot to a lot of people. Thank your supportive wife for me too. Without her and her support I know you cannot do what you do.
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
Yeah, I think I would have kept the hood.
Should have kept the hood. Too nice to get rid of.
I was wondering that too. HCMC you could have left the wrap on the hood?
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.
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.
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
Well, that's a wrap!
Well Said!
haha...nice :)
I'm sure it was expensive.
Archimedes Hahahaha someone had to
I like the idea of putting a park map on the hood.
I feel your pain! had to remove the decals from my vehicles when they were sold on. Such a pain to do
I think you personality makes watching a wrap removal video worth it. Can't wait to see what's in store for your JKU.
That was hard to watch. The wrap was amazing and I loved seeing it at Overland West in Flagstaff. 😕
That was a nice wrap, I got to see it at Overland West in Flagstaff also.
Sad to see it go. But excited to see what’s next.
Don’s DIY’s JL round 2.
Looks great gray
That was a great looking wrap. They did a very good job..
Brad’s going buggy on the wrangler! Time to go to Off Road Evolution.
Looks like you have a Springer Spaniel. Beautiful Dog!
Your channel is why i bought a 06 LJ Rubicon last week!
Congrats on the new Jeep! LJ's are one of my favorite models!
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?
Glad you got rid of it. Massive logos/graphics are obnoxious, you made the right choice, way cleaner now!
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?
thank you for your service....Brad youre the best
Thank you!
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 :)
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.
Stoked to see more jk footage.!
BAM....there he is again.
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!
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.
Oh I really liked the look of it
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!
Sad to see it go but hey, out with old and in with the new right? Another great video brother. #trailrecon2020!!! Can’t wait.
Have you had corrosion issues with your hinges? Bubbling of paint due to them being aluminum?
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 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
YEAH- I get it. Hey there's Brad- every single time your out!
Looking forward to your future plans Brad . I liked the wrap , however I like the silver better . Take care my friend .
did you sand out the texture on the hardtop before wraping it?
Looking for the camping grill Marco uses with the round top. Where can I get that? Love the channel.

You have a bored puppy at 9:06! 😄
Going to miss that iconic look! But the clean look is nice as well...!
i think it is a great idea -looks better
Noooo!
I loved that wrap. I was hoping you would put the same wrap on the gladiator
Cant wait to see what's in store for the diet in 2020!
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
This is what I used: amzn.to/2LLTawL
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.
After 26 years in the sign business I can honestly say there is nothing more maddening than vinyl removal!! Luckily the wrap stuff is meant to come off. I'm with you though Brad, I prefer subtle as well.
Thankfully I kept my sanity, but it was a ton of work.
WOW! You put some time in removing the wrap. I like it on there but I like it better stock.
Brad if you do another wrap on the jk do it like the one on the JT. I would have kept the hood warped though
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.
At 21 seconds there is a break down grill, what brand and where can I get one?
What did you do with your old wheels?
I would’ve left the grill and hood wrapped for the extra protection plus you loved the map on the hood
How much was it to get the vynil on your jeep
When did you change your wheels and what kind are they
Before our Moab trip. They are Rebounds from Icon
Ursa minor tent is up next. Any bets on that one?
I kinda chuckled when you said your radiator is leaking. I just replaced mine last week!
I agree, tone it down a little. Living vicariously through you!
I called a shop that does vinyl wrap. They suggested removing it before 3 years. Otherwise, the paint might come off with the wrap.
Like Ronnys 79 - You did the same thing. First putt all the cool stuff on. Than, suddenly, its to heavy. I mean you do not need beadlocks and 37 on an overlander. I recommend looking to "Andrew St Pierre White" and "The Road Choose Me" and "Overtheland.de". There 4x4 have a really good overlanding concept. Maybee the Gazell Kit is the way to go for you? In Europe JKs are very common for overland use. You see them mostly chance back from big tires back to small ones. Just because everything wear out to quick when your JK is so heavy. Keep in mind that in Europe and Australia roof tops/Overland 4x4 are common for years ago.
welcome back to the awesome silver jeep world.
No! Loved the wrap.
I wonder if the guy from Dubai with the similar wrap, on your insta post, will now want to remove it as well 😂😂😂😂😂
...Nice to see you went back to the original look. Excited to see what’s to come!
I wish I could follow that guys some how, just get random pics from other folks once and a while.
TrailRecon yep, it’s awesome that’s there’s subscribers all over the world!
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..
Well that’s interesting! Totally get why you would want to be low key. Ursa tent or rock crawler!? Either way, I am sad/not sad to see the wrap go but I am glad to see the JK again. Let’s see where you take us on the next chapter! And your fingers must have been sore!
Now I want to know more about this face lift for the Trail Recon Jeep! It’s not nice to tease people, 😂
I know you’re a busy man but this makes me miss your install videos my friend
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?
Just put a new Mopar radiator in my '07 Rubicon JKU. Original lasted 120k miles. Not sure why it started leaking. Lots of folks steered me away from the aftermarket on this part. Do yourself a favor and put a new Mopar radiator back in. Or you can try some stop leak tabs. The tabs worked great on my Motech 6.0 LS aluminum radiator. I went for a new one on the '07 because of its' age.
Hey Brad, would you ever consider doing a meet and greet? Thanks
I am curious as to how much does a standard vinyl wrap cost??? Plain without the fancy graphics.
What brand wrap was that?
