    I'm not a big fan of the stickers, anyone know of a method to remove them?

    Mine pulled off with with my fingernail in the mid day sun. WD40 cleaned up the residue.

    I did it on mine using a hair dryer. Once you heat them up they are a little more likely to peal. That said, these were a much bigger pain in the ass that decals I've done in the past...

    Heat gun. Fingernails. 3m adhesive remover. Microfiber cloth. Wax.

    In that order.

    Best to trade the truck in for one with acceptable stickers.

    like others have already commented, I heated them up with a heat gun. They came right off. WD-40 will remove the residue.

    Mine came off with fingernail in noon day sun. Very little residue left and it came right off. The sooner you take them off the easier it will be.

    What everybody else said, except skip the grinder method. When you're done with the bed sticker grab yourself some fishing line and your favorite adhesive remover and take the badges off.
