    Contemplating this. Will probably be my first change. If the "steps" that my wife wants which will actually be sliders don't come first. Sometimes I have to get creative to get my alterations done. Oh sweetie the drive line cranker cylinder broke so we replaced it with a 3 inch lift to ensure it won't happen again!

    I'm pretty sure toyota DOES offer OEM lettering. I had bought magnetic stick on black lettering from ebay which I was not happy with since they blew off quite easy. I then ordered a set of black lettering for my tacoma that were about 5mm thick and a lot higher quality. They were not magnetic but stick on and they are quick sturdy. I bought mine from trdparts4u which is where I also buy all my oem parts from.

    There is chrome, satin carbon and satin black. I have satin black. I've also seen brand new tacomas with chrome lettering.

    Right. That's where I initially found the ones I ordered from Amazon. As noted in my previous post, the item labelled as Chrome is actually more like Stainless Steel colorwise. Not necessarily a bad thing. Just an FYI.

    No not at all, i used the wet method that rrentrop includes in directions where you use a spray bottle with water and a few drops of dish soap and wet surface and letter backing

    @rrentrop asked that I post photos of my lettering once I got them applied. How they even arrived in SoFla today from Cali is unbelievable but sometimes the USPS impresses AND so does the vinyl. I had mentioned in an earlier post that I supplied the vinyl to be cut because I wanted reflective with a silver/white color as opposed to a gray/gold tone. The vinyl I supplied is what's commonly used on police cars and shines very brightly at night. This is yet another product purchased and installed to protect the rear-end of my truck because people do not pay attention when driving.

    Here are photos taken a few minutes after applying but I will add some more photos to this post once it's dark to show how bright they reflect. Oh and, definitely use the wet technique when applying, any clean spray bottle will do with about a cup of clean water add to that about four (4) drops of mild dish/hand soap. Clean that tailgate thoroughly, then spray some soapy water on one (1) letter at a time even spray the vinyl letter itself. You'll be amazed how the vinyl will almost center itself, then gently wipe the excess water away with a damp cloth taking care not to move the vinyl and you're DONE!

    Thanks Rich, you the Man! :thumbsup:


    Here's the promised but horrible photo at night, only source of illumination is tiny LED light on my phone. This is bright reflective vinyl!
