Hey guys, i'm torn whether or not I should remove the pin striping that came with my Ranger. It doesn't look horrible but I'm afraid when I get black wheels and paint the gray trim black it'll look bad.

What do you think I should do?

 

Loose em', it'll look better...You could paint your teardrops black....

 

i would take em off itll look cleaner

 

I like the look of the teardrops being painted, but I'm getting new wheels and tires in a month or so anyways.

Easiest method for taking off pin stripes? Everyone just says fingernails, etc..but I've been trying and it's not working so far.

 

Ditch 'em

 

use a hair dryer and they'll peel right off

 

hair dryer and for the glue go to autozone, they have this earaser wheel that goes in your drill, wont harm the paint

 

I don't see any pin stripes on your truck.....I see some vinyls though. LOL

I say leave them on, it adds character. Why look like everyone else? Maybe I'm just partial to them because I have side vinyls also.

Bottom line is, if you like them, keep them; if you don't, take them off.

 

Take it off!

 

I think I'll take them off. Not really sure why I called them pin stripes, just the first thing that came to my mind. lol.

Thanks guys! How much does this "eraser wheel" thing normally cost?

 

I like it. Makes it less boring.

 

REMOVE !

 

Remove them, I took them off my old ranger and will be coming off the F150 here soon also...

 

Leave em!

 

I went to Autozone and they didn't have the eraser wheel that you guys were talking about..Just some 3M sanding wheels.

So I picked up some cheap Acetone for the residue..This will be safe to use on the car right?

 

Well I removed the vinyl stripes!





I personally think it looks much cleaner without the stripes. I'm glad I did it.

 

Looks wayyy better man!

 

Thanks! Now it's time for new wheels and tires. lol I need money pronto.

 

and a lift.

 

Maybe..I don't do a ton of off-roading so it might be pointless..

I was just going to get some 32" BFG A/Ts compared to the 31" Kumhos I have now.

But I'm not really sure what I should do.

 

Looks a lot better dude! Please don't paint your wheels, looks terrible imo.

 

Thanks man! haha yeah I'm not painting them. I'm looking for a fairly cheap black rim..but really not into the cheap steelies. Any other ideas?

 

LOL

Sheep

 

wow looks much better, and how did you break your window visor?

 

Thanks. And to be honest I'm not sure how the visor was broken. It was like that when I purchased the truck about 5 months ago...There were quite a few things broken on the truck. Getting new visor thingys is the last thing on the list to fix.
