    I have a silhouette studio vinyl cutter, I am trying to cut this vinyl but the lines are too thin and other parts of the truck come off as well.

    Does anyone have any tips to fix my current image


    or pictures / templates that I can use to make a similar 3rd gen decal?

    Thanks in advance

    What do you mean by the lines are coming off?

    they are too thin and when I am pulling up the outline, other pieces are coming off as well because the lines are too thin

    Adjust your blade depth and try again

    Yea that was my first thought as well....I think I just need to get a new image, because when I pull the vinyl for the tires, the rest of the outline for the truck also comes up as it is all one piece.....


    anyone have a 3rd gen Tacoma image I can use?

    1997 t4r has super duty axles, 5.13s locked front and rear. 3 link front with 14" kings. Rear 63s.
    Your settings need to be adjusted if it's all coming up we had the same issue weeding it was a certain decal was a pita. Adjusted the cut depth and it was better.

    Don't try to pull up the outline all at once. Do each wheel by itself. So weed one wheel and cut the weeding away. Do another section and cut the weeding away. I still think some adjustment needs to be made. Blade depth or something. That looks like a pretty easy design.
