    I tried doing a search and didnt turn up anything, so i apologize if this has been talked to death; today I will be installing my seriously AWESOME sockmonkey decal to my quarter panel. I was curious if anyone had any advice yet for me. It seems very straight forward, and probably will be.. but I enjoy researching as much as possible before diving into something as obvious as this.

    thanks again

    getting there....
    when i installed mine..........i used a spray bottle with a little soap water to act as a lubricant, get them where you want them, then press them down pretty good. then go over with a squeegee until they arent coming off, then slowly pel the paper away. if part of the decal wants to come loose.....put the paper back over it and squeegee it until its good to go.

    thank you! BUT thank Sockmonkey first. See.. i grew up in Norcal, live in Socal now... so i thought just Cal was a good way to go.. no TRD, so "SR5" works.. and its a prerunner.. so "Off Road" was the way to go.

    Its been on my truck now for 10 minutes. So far its been holding up pretty good. ;)
