: Removed 4X4 Decals

I've never been a big fan of vinyl stickers, so last night I took the 4X4 stickers off. Just used a blow dryer to heat them up and they came off extremely easy. It took a total of about 20 min to do both sides. I didn't even have to use an adhesive remover. Just wiped it down with a clean towel and you could never tell they were there. I just thought I would post this for those who were interested in doing this, but had reservations about it being a mess.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that part. I waxed it with banana juice(Zymol) after.

Was one of first things to go. Had dealer remove them and then coated the paint.

That looks good denali. I may just have to rip the rest of those puppies off too. On my last truck(A Dodge Dakota), I went with the totally naked look.

BDAWG. I remember those cartoons in your avatar from when I was a kid. Had a couple of tshirts with those on them. I thought there was a name for those? "No bucks, No Buck Rogers" - Fred Ward as Gus Grissom in the Right Stuff, right?

Given how much I paid for those emblems (4x4, duramax, SLT) why get rid of them? :eek:

The duramax emblems are keepers. I don't like the 4x4 stickers either, and removed them from gasser (since I had 265 AT's and could tell it was 4x4). I've kept them on my dually for now since w/o them, it would like a 2wd. Need a nice chrome or billet 4x4 emblem to replace those ugly stickers.

I did pull all the tailgate emblems.

Agreed. That's one thing Dodge got right. Smaller chrome 4X4 instead of huge plastic one.

I just posted a question about emblems. 4x4 emblems in chrome would look nice on my Onyx Black Truck if could find nice ones. I hate those cheesy stickers

Id give you mine but they cracked when i took em off

I would just do it on a hot day, or use a hair dryer, then get some high strength fishing line and try to get it behind them. and then I grabbed em with a plier when i could and pulled em off

And here I sit with my take-off badges in hand ready to stuff them in a box for you... and Chevy FORGOT TO PUT THE FREAKING CHEVROLET BADGE ON THE TAILGATE!!!!

I noticed it when I debadged, but forgot about it until just now.

I've seen trucks with CHEV on the left and SILVERADO on the right, the other way around, and now mine, with only SILVERADO.

Oh well... mine doesn't even say "LT" anymore :D

LOL... my wife wanted me to leave them.
"But they look good"
"But you paid extra for them"... Uhh... no... I paid extra to get the front diff and transfer case... I WOULD have paid extra to have the truck delivered with no badges at all... would have saved me an hour. :D
