    I'm debadged but not de-decaled. Plus I added a sockmonkey TOYOTA tailgate decal. Looks great.

    Put the badges on upside down. When someone asks, say it's so the Jeep guys can read it when you pull up?! ;-)

    How easy do the badges come off? What's the easiest way to prevent breaking, so I could flat black them and reinstall some of them?

    While I appreciate the look of a de-badged truck, I paid a lot of extra money to have all of the badges and stickers (and the extras associated with them). I'm not about to take them off.

    Hey what kind of ton oh (ha) cover is that. How well does it work with the track system on the inside of the box??

    Is this thread jacking? I'm the guy that had to google "IMO" and "wtb" and the list goes on.

    U can pm me if that makes this a non jack situation.

    Maybe I should have pm'd you?

    I plasti-dipped mine black, just to see how I liked it. Thought about de-badging the sides, but I think the tail gate needs something. With nothing on it, it looks like it is missing something IMHO.

    Tanneau works fine with the rail system and took about an hour to put on. It sits over it and just rolls to the front of the bed when I need the bed open for height. I have the info for it burried in a file. I will dig it out and get you make/model this weekend. Maybe I'll PM it to you

    I like the font used for 'Tacoma', so I personally am not removing the badges from the sides. If the tailgate had some more sheetmetal definition, I'd probably debadge it and put one of the Toyota decals on.
