    I am kind of torn on this. I like the clean look, I also think the stickers are kind of cool. Perhaps I should get some aftermarket alternate stickers? So what did you do with your truck (or what would you do if you don't already own a TRD)?

    I voted "keep 'em". Not because they "show people you got the better model"....but because they look nice. They're part of the trucks indentity....IMHO.

    I removed mine and I'm glad I did. Looks much better without them in my opinion.

    What method did you use to remove them? And did you just wash and wax after to remove any ghost image?

    IMO, the emblems on the side of the bed make the truck look more sporty. Keep 'em !

    indeed. Personally, I paid for the locker, the traction control features, the better approach angle, and all the little things like the recovery hook (used it once already...) and the push button start, and the bits and pieces that are better in the off road grade. Meanwhile, the grill and wheels will be a giveaway to anyone that knows these trucks.

    I'd keep them.
    Only one I'd remove is the dealer sticker(s). Thankfully the outfit I bought from doesn't put them on.

    I just started peeling one afternoon last summer (high 70s) and cleaned up the residue with WD-40. I didn't use a blow dryer or hear gun. I waxed immediately after. There was no ghosting, which surprised me for a six year old sticker.

    I made it clear the day I ordered my truck for the dealer NOT to put their emblems or decals on my truck.

    Get rid of them. And while you are at it, debadge it too. Go full brazilian. :D
    - Easier to clean without them.
    - Toyota doesn't need any more advertising.

    I had an insurance claim to my '13 TRD O/R the first year I had it. Jack-knifed my trailer into the qtr. panel. Do you know how much those stickers cost? 72 FREAKIN DOLLARS. Per side!!!. I kept mine.
