    I'll put my stickers on my rear window, but not on paint. I prefer to not put on many brand advertisements. I go with things I find funny or things I like to do.

    same here...I try to make sure I have done enough research on a topic before I start claiming ultimate knowledge of it...and then spouting that out in public

    and I always have an open ear to listen to an alternate idea...then I do my research on whether I can adopt/adapt parts of it to my life choices

    All of my "gear stickers" go on my tool boxes or coolers with the exception of my OHV permit.

    I will say that placing a bunch of stickers on your vehicle will make you an easy mark for thieves. Standing out isn't always a good thing. $0.02 of opinion, of course :cool:

    I have had stickers on my cars ever since, and I have only had 2 car break ins back in the day (early 90's) when I had a big car stereo system. I also know that one of those break in's was an "inside" job from the people who put the system in, because it was found out that they were doing that as standard practice back then. None of my stickers advertised expensive radio parts or companies (mine have always been centered on sports teams and rock bands)

    i don't think that stickers in general attract thieves, but i DO agree that certain kinds will...as many have mentioned, if they advertise certain equipment that you use, then I can see that happening.

    From my many friends in law enforcement, the biggest attractor they feel that brings on theft is tinted windows, and then decorative items - fender flares; wheels; trim; paint; light bars etc. - that advertise that you are putting extra money into the truck. "If the outside looks souped up, the inside probably is too"

    I have a few stickers on the rear of the shell, but I've never really been into putting Manufacturer/Brand stickers on.... they'll go on the tool chest though.

    I have a few gun related stickers on the inside of the side of my bed, but I have a tonneau cover so nobody ever see's them.

    Speaking of ‘gun-related:’

    I own a few guns but am not a shop-talking gun guy.
    Regarding stickers, like pretty much everything with your truck it’s personal preference!
    Personally I like symmetry and keeping it relatively minimal.
