Deciding between two JLG telehandler decal kits comes down to one question: which model do you operate? The Fits JLG 8042 Decal Kit and the Fits JLG 6042 Decal Kit both promise to restore the original look of your machine quickly and easily, but they are made for different SkyTrak telehandlers. Before comparing anything else, confirm the model number on your equipment.
Quick Verdict
If you own a JLG 6042, the Fits JLG 6042 Decal Kit is your match, and it also carries the lower listed price between the two. If you own a JLG 8042, the Fits JLG 8042 Decal Kit is the one designed for your machine, though it sits at the higher listed price. Since the price gap is modest, model compatibility should drive your decision.

Product Notes
Fits JLG 8042 Decal Kit Telehandler - 8 YEAR OUTDOOR - 3M VINYL
This kit is the correct complement for a JLG 8042 SkyTrak telehandler. It is listed at USD 290.65, making it the higher-priced option in this head-to-head. The product title points to 8 YEAR OUTDOOR and 3M VINYL, matching the durability language used on the other kit. Because it is an aftermarket new part made in the United States, it shares the same basic sourcing description as the 6042 kit. If your machine is the 8042, this is the exact-fit choice in this comparison. The limitation is that it costs more than the 6042 kit, and it won't be the right pick if you actually own a 6042.
Fits JLG 6042 Decal Kit Telehandler - 8 YEAR OUTDOOR - 3M VINYL
The Fits JLG 6042 Decal Kit is the lower-priced option here, listed at USD 281.15. It is built for the JLG 6042 SkyTrak telehandler and also arrives as a new aftermarket part made in the United States. The title repeats the same 8 YEAR OUTDOOR and 3M VINYL language as the 8042 kit, so the material description is consistent between the two. For a 6042 owner, this kit combines the correct model match with a lower listed price than the 8042 set. The obvious limitation is that it won't be suitable for an 8042, so matching the model number on your telehandler remains essential.
Final Choice by Use Case
If you operate a JLG 6042 and want the lower listed price, the Fits JLG 6042 Decal Kit is the natural pick. If you operate a JLG 8042, the Fits JLG 8042 Decal Kit is the one that matches your machine, even though it is priced above the 6042 kit. The choice hinges on the model number, not on any feature difference in the titles. Confirm the exact SkyTrak model before buying, then choose the kit that corresponds to it.
