Yeah I actually didn't realize it was a long bed until I looked at the window sticker again when I got home. It wasn't on the truck at the stealership and I knew it was optioned the way I wanted and the right color

Are you glad it is then? Or would you have preferred the shortbed?

I am glad it is. The short bed would have been better for parking at work but the long bed will be better for everything else.

I already did my first mod, pulled the dealership stickers off the tailgate. They are crazy if they think I am going to advertise for them

Installed door handle protectors today. My last car got all scratched under the door handles from my wife's rings so now I put these on every vehicle.

Debadged the tailgate. That lonely v6 back there looked so out of place.

Had no idea these were coming in today. Just ordered them two days ago. What a difference these make. This is the way they should have come from the factory.

Radio knob looks sweet and the tailgate looks much better. Now you just need vinyl inserts for the “TACOMA” letters.

Hair dryer and some fishing line. Heat it up a little with the hair dryer and then slide the fishing line behind the badge. Make sure you pull it more towards the badge than the truck. And then just work the fishing line back and forth in a sawing motion, again favor the badge side so as not to damage the paint.
I worked it from both sides and heated it up a couple times. Key thing is to be patient and take your time.
If you heat it up really good most of the tape residue should come right off and what ever is left use a little Goo gone or alcohol. Then rewax the area.

If your truck is older and the badges have been there a while there might be a ghosting in the paint. Just use a clay bar in the area and give it a real good rub down making sure to keep the area wet. It probably won't be perfect depending on the age of the paint and how bad the ghosting is but over time it will all even out.

Hope that helps.
