Did anybody have any trouble

Did anybody else have trouble peeling the clear sticker off the truck that was located right in front of your rear tires on the fenders? I bought mine used and those stickers were still on there. I figred they were the same kind of stickers they put on vehicles during delivery. Anyways, it took me like an hour 1/2 on each side with an entire bottle of goo gone to get them off. Was wanderin if the original owner just forgot to take them off or if they serve some kind of "paint protection" purpose.

 

I believe they were meant to stay on the vehicle to prevent rock chips. These Tacomas have become notorious for the paint chipping very easily.

 

I heard of the paint coming off with that sticker when you try to remove it

 

Wish i woulda known that sooner ! When i got my truck (white) those stickers were almost brown. I tried everything from car wash, to alcohol, to wax and nothing would clean them up

 

Those are there to protect your truck from debris, you should leave em on.

edit: damn, got beat out like crazy in a couple of minutes. LOL.

 

you should have asked sooner!

mine have started to discolor a little bit as well, I'll ask my brother-in-law who is a Toyota tech if that is something that can be purchased and put back on

 

I didnt have any problems with that, but I did have problems with small parts of the stickers stayin on the truck. Kinda like when you try to tear off a price sticker of a cardboard box to fast lol
