Default How do you remove the TRD decals from the storage bed?

I was wondering if all it takes is a hot gun or something to peel it off? Anyone here do it?

A heat gun will work great. This is how I de TRD-ed my Tundra. You may need to use a solvent like goof off to clean off the 'ghosts'. If you are left with outlines, a quick shot with some 3M rubbing compoung and good wax should make it like it was never there.

I used a standard hair dryer with a hot setting and lots of patience! Heated up the sticker and started to peel it back once it was heated. Then as I kept the dryer on the sticker I slowly peeled it back and off. I would use some sort of glove that will protect your fingers from the heat! Burned mine while doing this.

I also used a hair dryer to remove the stickers. The heat makes the sticker very soft, and they peeled off in a few pieces. I didn't use a glove because I wanted to be able to feel how hot the surface was getting, and I didn't know if excessive heat would damage the paint. There was a lot of sticky residue left after the sticker came off, and I used Goo-Gone to take it off. I then washed and waxed, and you can't tell there were ever stickers there. I'm very happy with the "stickerless" look. By the way, it took about 45 minutes to do everything, and I was taking my time. Good luck.
