“Aint got to show you no stinking badges…”

2018 Crewmax 4WD. Magnetic grey. Thinking of getting rid of ALL badges. Input from anyone else who has done the same?

 

Do it. Way cleaner and better looking. Badges are for people with dementia.

 

Them things are expensive, I'd leave them alone. Could hurt you on resale too

 

If my truck didn't have the blackout package from the factory I'd take em off too

 

No badges ftw

 

What type of shape is the paint in? I ditched mine, but truck was basically new.

 

I miss Betsy........

 

Where can I buy one of those from Jim? Got a link?

 

Good memories. Life goes on!

 

I have one somewhere.


I found the picture here because I have no idea where mine is.

I would be careful removing them; thise badges can get dirt underneath them and abrade the paint so that it is noticeable when you remove them. I did it to my 4runner when it was 40k miles old and you could always see the ghosting of the badges no matter how many times I cleaned or waxed it. I debadged the tundra as soon as I pulled it into my driveway from buying it with less than 30 miles on it. Can’t tell on the tundra

 

Due to the age of the vehicle, there is a high probability that the paint underneath the badges will be a shade darker than the rest of the truck due no exposure to the Sun's UV Rays, which as we all know, gradually fades the paint pigment. As previously mentioned, this will result in the "ghosting" of the badges. You may still see where the badges were installed. However, if you have "dementia" you may not notice this.
