    So over the weekend I pressure washed my truck and noticed the pin striping was coming off so I kept spraying off since i don't like the look of it anyways. Well after I was done with that took my TRD labels off too since I have had new ones to put on for a while. Now that they are off I am on the fence on weather I leave them off or reinstall. What do you guys think?

    Looks pretty good to me, I've always liked a cleaner look.

    I vote put them back on but there just something to me about seeing that TRD sticker. Or just keep them off for a month or two since there already off then stick em back on when you want a little change.

    I like them on the 2nd gens, but on the 1st gens the cleaner look is more appealing to me.

    Thanks for the 2 cents guys. Think I am just going to leave them off for now. Iis pretty easy to put them back on.

    Since you actually DO have a TRD, I vote put them on. Looks better IMHO.

    My 01 is a TRD but didn't come with bedside decals or tailgate badges (prev. owner pulled them). I got some Yeti Rescue from sock, and put the "TOYOTA" "SR5" "V6" badges on the tailgate to match the grille swap.
