    About 5 years ago I had a tundra that ended up with a blown head gasket...and shortly thereafter in the "trade in" parking spot at a dealership. Went more with my head then my heart and traded it in for a family style SUV. Well now i am finally back to a new (at least to me) truck. Found a 2011 Tacoma Double Cab TRD TX with 16k miles and snatched it up. Have been reading a lot of threads on this forum and look forward to learning and participating. Am itching to get started on making this truck "mine". Have attached a pic!

    Nothing wrong with an SUV as long as it's off-road worthy. :)

    When are you going to remove the ugly dealer pinstripe? :D

    Did you paint your wheels...or do they have a blacked out option? The silver drives me crazy.

    If you do decide to do the pinstripes, use a decal eraser. It's basically a gum rubber wheel mounted on a metal 1/4" shank that fits a cordless, or corded drill. Won't damage the paint and they come off very easy. Just wax afterwards.

    Definitely give the hair dryer a try. If that doesn't seem like it's going to work, get a decal eraser off of Amazon. When I got my truck, the old guy I bought it from went a little overboard with vinyl stripes, 4x4 decals, etc. The wheel made my life a little easier lol.
