    Well these are the original decals on the dash of my Forest Service CJ6. I was wondering if I could purchase any replacement ones or if anyone knew of a shop that could make them for me.

    Thanks

    I've gotten pretty good at reproducing these with MS Word, lots of patience, and a color lazer printer. You might be surprised at what you can do. That "special traction" sticker would be the easiest to start with; with enough trying, you can match the typeface, font size, and the border almost exactly. Just print it on heavy or photo quality paper, and then spray it with clearcoat two times. Some of the better ones I have done are real foolers - hard to tell they aren't original.

    There are a couple of threads around discussing some of the different approaches for the do-it-yourselfer. I haven't seen most of those stickers you posted available commercially, but the yellow vin sticker is available at bearcreeksurvey.com - that's also mentioned here.
