    What's the easiest way to remove these? I've made up my mind there coming off ASAP. image.jpg
    A video on how to remove would be nice

    You talking about the stickers. I just got my fingernail under the edge and they peeled right off. It was a warm day. Heat with a hair dryer will help.

    Yeah, hit it with a heat gun lightly and it comes off perfectly, just have to finish off the last of the adhesive with a bit of goof off.

    Finally debadged my '11 today - SR5, Toyota and TACOMA, gone

    Took tailgate off, inside in the Sun, fish line and hard-edge scraper over cardboard, 5 minutes, no scratches.

    (Strangely enough, TACO stayed in one piece.)

    Tried alcohol. baby oil, dish detergent and olive oil, but some gum remains.

    Debating WD40 or maybe 3M - undecided, want it smudge and surface perfect.

    Did the de-badge on my new to me 2012 soon after I bought it. Easier to clean and wax the tail gate.

    I used Goof Off, it will remove everything, including the wax, to you have to rewax after.
