Hey STX people, I've yet to learn what exactly makes an STX, well... uhm an STX. I've had a couple family members ask and I told them I'd findout. I thought it was just a trim package but someone else told me it wasn't. BTW, I've been wanting to get rid of the sticker on the back of the truck but don't know how. Is it as simple as just peeling it off? I don't want to damage the paint. It looks like something a younger man would like, as a middle age guy it almost feels age inappropriate for me

Reading around on the internet, others are saying that STX has no specific reference to anything, it simply is the name of a package affixed to the XL line.
I have also thought about removing my STX sticker, I sure wish the letters were individual and not all included on a huge sheet of graphics.

Working at a Ford body shop, I pull 1-2 off these off a week on average, usually to paint the boxside. But, that's all I ever do. I've never heated it up or anything, just start it with my fingernail and pull. They leave less glue the newer they are. Many people heat them up though. Could just leave it in the sun for a bit too.
Thanks a bunch, I'm going to man up and try it thanks to your post I've gained the confidence to do it myself. As much as I prefer to keep my things 'stock' this sticker is something that cheapens the look of the pickup for me, it's gotta go. To each their own right? Someone else might think I'm crazy for taking it off.

I got a new picture of the whole pickup showcasing the tint and new plasti dipped 3bar grille w/ptm surround. I'll be getting rid of the decals soon.
Crazy thing happened at the dealer last week, I paid for tint and sprayed liner and they called me to pick up the truck, I signed off for it not realizing that the liner hadn't been done! Next day I figured it out and now they are giving me trouble over getting the liner done. I then decided to get a refund and they are not happy about that. My refund is pending and ill be going to another dealer for the liner, I've lost confidence in those guys. Also at another dealer I'm ordering the OEM fender liners. I think those are going to really dress it up plus I think they protect the bottom edges from flying debri.
If anyone has ever installed those fender liners and has some advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. Rust is not a huge problem here in SoCal, but drilling out holes scares me a little, I want to make sure I rustproof properly with proper materials and techniques.

Looks sweet blueflame.. some Harley lamps would be awesome.
Just got the 5k cargo bulbs from v-led's. I've been around a lot of pnp led bulbs and these are the real deal. VERY nice bulbs
