    Ok, so I am working with Sock on this one... I am turning my truck into an expedition vehicle... slowly but surely.

    I don't want to put "Off-Road" on it and I want to take off my "TRD Sport"... I asked Sock to come up with a decal that I'd be able to replace the original one with, that has a compass rose, 4X4, and 'expedition' in it... Here is what he came up with. (This will go on a 2006 Red Taco)

    What do you think?

    Looks great. People seeing it will do a double take, some guy will probably to the dealer and asking for the new "expedition edition"

    I like it, but at the same I think it's a little too... busy. I'd probably drop the 4x4 off... not really necessary is it? Also, I'd probably choose a grey/metalic grey more like stock for the accenting and compass... the white is just a little... I dunno feels kinda cheesy to me. But I'm nit-picking and those are just my personal feelings on it... it really does look great.

    I have to agree with Kyouto42.
    Grey or silver accent. The "4x4" looks busy, especially over the compass letters...besides, looking at the truck, it's kind of obvious.
    Otherwise, I think it looks great...Unique!

    I like the sticker design. Go for it and get a new one if you think of something better later.

    How about this? Keep the compass where it is, but move the 4x4 and Expedition under the TRD. This is my feeble attempt at using MS Paint at work.

    Doesn't Ford make a 4X4 Expedition?

    Not goofing on Mr.Sock, I have a few items in the can waiting to be hatched too.

    Looks good. I say go for it.

    On second thought, screw that. Put a pic of Chuck Norris on your truck. That will scare away EVERYONE.

    Ok, looks like I will do it... I will ask Sock to make a few minor adjustments based on the recommendations here... And pick from what he comes up with... He truly does work some magic...

    Thanks everyone!
