    Thanks guy for all the comments! The 2wd sticker was indeed sort of a jab against 4wd stickers. In fact, it was kind of in response to a few trucks I've seen with 4x4 stickers or mud flaps that clearly don't have a transfer case (4wd posers). Plus, its pretty unique, not likely to see too many of those around.

    I've got the front side stickers sitting here, was just debating about whether to put them on, plus I ran out of time lol.

    Looks badass Chris4x4. I think I'd definitely slap on the fronts tomorrow. Its kind of a PIA trying to get the side decals lined up perfectly though. Did you have any kind of trick you used when putting the fronts on to get them lined up horizontally so the curve part matches up? Its a lot harder because of the contours.

    Just make sure you keep the paint wet. Take your time. :)

    The side looks badass with the stickers. Hmm I wonder how they would look on a Speeway Blue Tacoma. Damn it I dont think it will look as sweet as on a Silver or White one!!!

    jeez guys!!!

    the "2 wheel drive" is a play on the "4 wheel drive" decal of old. (not too many get this little joke, sorry)

    .....and you advertise 2wd when it says "Prerunner"


    anyway, looks good, but def needs the fronts :thumbsup:

    fyi: you def need more time for the fronts vs the rears

    Personally, me and my dad both love the 2wd sticker :thumbsup:

    I'm gonna get the fronts on today. I figured they would need a lot more time because the contour looked like it would be a PITA. The hard part about the side decals is that its hard to get it lined up on the curved part while its still on the application tape. I kind of had to guess it a bit on the rears

    Trim the paper within 1/8" of the decal (or less) where it meets the fender flare. And when making the cut for the door, cut in the center, and take your time getting it to stick. :)

    Use some masking tape to create the line to help you align it. That's what I did when I replaced the rear decals.
