I think those look good on there. I like that style alot better than the FX4 ones I had.

idk, i like them, because they match the rest of the black on the truck so well, but at the same time, i could imagine it would look really clean without them.. hmmm

off

01RangerEdge 03-24-2010 10:11 AM

off, or replace them with the newer style 4x4 sticker.

I went to a dealership and got Sport Trac 4x4 emblems for $9 a piece

Tys 4x4 FTW 03-24-2010 10:12 AM

Up in the air on it, off would look OK but leave it sort of blank.

Thinking on it… OFF !

I Was thinking the same on my f150, but they dont bother me enough to remove them plus sometimes the mark still shows they were there when you remove them

Tys 4x4 FTW 03-24-2010 10:40 AM

well you guys convinced me! im doin it! rolling on bedliner in the bed today, and now i can add taking off the emblems to the list!

i think my truck is new enough that it wont show. and i'll buff and wax the spot after i take them off

zabeard 03-24-2010 11:15 AM

Yeah I would think so too, im afraid i will see it on my f150, your lighter paint color will hide it too

01RangerEdge 03-24-2010 11:16 AM

So does anyone know how to remove it, or is it just a matter a getting the adhesive to let go?

I removed them on my truck with a heat gun and razor blade. They came off super easy. I just barely got them warm as its easy to get them too hot and really make them gooey. Once I got one corner up they peeled off in one piece. You couldn't tell any paint fading on my 04 DSG truck either.

Sweet thanks

didnt get to this today, but did do the bedliner! actually i might go out and do it now.. lol

01RangerEdge 03-24-2010 06:13 PM

Do you think a hairdryer will do the trick?

Tys 4x4 FTW 03-24-2010 06:22 PM

yeah definitely.

99greenranger 03-24-2010 08:11 PM

*BE CAREFUL* if you are useing a razorblade on the paint i would recomend just useing you fingernail or somethng softer that will not gouge the paint if you slip up.

Tys 4x4 FTW 03-25-2010 06:37 PM

done!

looks way clean, i like it.

pass side came off very easy. but the driver side was a PITA. left a bunch of residue. tried adhesive remover goof off a razor blade etc. but the thing that finally got it all off was rubbing compound.

btw used a heat gun for all of this and that worked wonders.
