TRD OR & Sport Badge Emblems

Runnin 4 Tacos has some of these on their site. I snagged some Sport ones. They look solid and on sale for less than $40! https://www.runnin4tacos.com/collections/2016-2018-toyota-tacoma/products/trd-badge-emblem

 

Are these the same size as the ones on the pros? Been looking for some to buy. I found a site that had them for $200 and that was the deal breaker for me. So how is the quality and are you satisfied?

 

I’ll have them on Monday. From what I’ve read from Runnin 4 Tacos, is that their products are oem quality with oem fit. I guess I’ll find out.

 

Awesome, however they are sold out.

 

I just received the in the mail. They look pretty good. They look like they are injection molded. Not sure I’d call them OEM quality but I’m definitely happy with them at the price. You have to look pretty close to see the manufacturing issues that would not be present on OEM emblems.

I have a question to those with experience (maybe this belongs in another section of the forum but i thought I’d try here first) with fixing emblems to their vehicles. They recommend using a liquid 3M adhesive. Everything I see suggests that this adhesive is permanent and I want to retain the ability to pull them if I decide I don’t like them or in case they don’t stand the test of time. Im guessing due to the nature of the back surface of the emblem that a tape type of adhesive won’t be strong enough. It ships with a tape type adhesive but they have already said not to use it be cause the emblem may come off unexpectedly.

What do you guys think?

 

I filled the hole with

$24 Second Skin Butyl Sealant Tape – Butyl Rubber Sealant, Multi-Purpose Butyl Rope, and Putty Tape for Automotive (Car, RV, Marine) – 1/4” x 1/2" x 20’ – Made in The USA

Butyl Sealant then double side heavy duty tape.

 

Thanks for the response. I have some butyl rope at home that I may try. I may look into trying the caulk version or epoxy or bondo. Ultimately I want to use something like servo tape to secure them to the truck.

 

Those look nice especially for the price. Now considering the sport ones...

 

Who has installed theirs and did you use the 3m liquid adhesive?

 

These are cool! Any chance you can make them with the US flag colors in backdrop? I'd be up for that.

 

I installed these on my truck using the 3M liquid adhesive. Seems solid.

 

I have the same ones, that came from aliexpress.
Pretty sure these are the same, the imperfections on the right side of the T, and D are the same.
The original grey foam adhesive is terrible.
Had both sides fall off in the heat.
The adhesive sticks to the door fine, but not to the emblem, because there is not enough surface area.

I used some 3m extreme mounting adhesive tape, sanded the bottom of the emblem with 300# grit, and now I do not think it will even come off.

No need to go for anything exteme like permanent 3m liquid adhesive. That is basically superglue...

 

anyone have pics of the emblems mounted?

 

I do not have a close up of it though.

 

Installed mine 3 weeks ago. Seems to be doing fine with just the liquid 3m it came with down here in this humid Georgia heat.

 

You’re truck is so clean it looks fake lol the badges look pretty dang legit I want to smack one on my 07 but idk if it’d be right lol I’ll prob order some anyways

 

Took the pic right after getting a fresh coat of ceramic coating.

 

Just installed mine. From overland depot. Peel and stick!

 

Do they come with the light grey foam adhesive?
If so, it might fall off

 

It was a blue adhesive backing. Fingers crossed!
