Your Jeep Cherokee XJ has that timeless boxy silhouette that turns heads at every trail head and gas station — but those long, flat door panels are practically begging for some classic motorsport flair.

This 2-piece vinyl decal kit delivers showroom-grade style in eight premium finishes, and it installs in an afternoon.

What Is the Jeep Cherokee XJ Retro Hockey Stick Racing Side Stripe Decal?
This is a 2-piece precision-cut vinyl side stripe kit designed specifically for the Jeep Cherokee XJ. Each stripe measures 114.2 × 9.4 inches and runs the full length of the body — sweeping from the front door edge across the rear door and down to the side skirt. The result is that unmistakable retro hockey stick profile that defined motorsport graphics throughout the 80s and 90s.
Made from premium PVC vinyl with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, the decals are flexible enough to conform to the XJ's body lines, door seams, and trim transitions without bubbling or lifting. You choose from eight finishes — Carbon Fiber, Glossy Red, Matte Black, Matte Silver, Colorful Laser, Glossy Black, Glossy White, and Glossy Gray — so the look matches your build whether it's a clean stock XJ, a lifted overlander, or a weekend rock-crawler.
Unlike paint, these stripes require no drilling, no permanent modification, and no body shop. They're a true bolt-on aesthetic upgrade that protects your factory paint underneath while transforming the side profile of your Jeep.
Key Benefits
- Cherokee XJ-specific design: Dimensions and stripe profile engineered for the XJ's door and skirt layout — no awkward trimming or guesswork.
- 8 premium finishes: From subtle Matte Black to attention-grabbing Colorful Laser, you get a look that matches your build's personality.
- Premium PVC vinyl construction: Pressure-sensitive adhesive holds firm against weather, car washes, and trail dust while staying removable down the road.
- Paint protection underneath: The vinyl shields covered panels from light scratches, UV fade, and minor debris — essentially a stylish layer of automotive protection.
- No permanent modification: Glue sticker application means zero drilling, zero clear coat damage, and full reversibility if you sell or rebuild.
- DIY-friendly install: Clean, peel, align, press — most owners knock it out in a single afternoon with basic tools.
Why Your Jeep Cherokee XJ Deserves This Protection
The Cherokee XJ has earned legendary status, but its factory paint wasn't engineered for 2024 levels of road salt, trail abuse, and harsh UV exposure. Those broad door panels and side skirts are exactly where rock chips, parking lot dings, and brush scratches accumulate first. Add years of sun beating down on horizontal-leaning surfaces, and you've got fading, oxidation, and clear coat failure to worry about.
A full-length vinyl stripe doesn't just deliver retro style — it physically covers a huge swath of vulnerable real estate. For owners who want maximum coverage, pairing these stripes with a clear bra or pre-cut PPF kit on the hood, fenders, and bumper gives you complete front-to-back defense.

What's Included & Installation
Every kit ships with:
- 2 precision-cut vinyl side stripes (1 driver side, 1 passenger side)
- Dimensions: 114.2 × 9.4 inches per piece
- Your selected finish from 8 premium options
Installation is straightforward but takes patience given the length. Wash and dry the side body panels thoroughly, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol to remove any wax or residue. Use masking tape to dry-fit the alignment from the front door edge back to the side skirt. Once you're happy with placement, peel the backing in sections and press the stripe down firmly from front to back, smoothing out air with a felt squeegee as you go. Working with a helper makes the 9-foot length much easier to manage.
Prefer a flawless finish without the DIY learning curve? Any local vinyl wrap or detail shop can install these in under an hour — well worth the small fee for a perfect result.
