It's not going to be easy to get off my one fx4 sticker, looks like someone sometime resprayed the drivers side bed panel. The stick is clear coated on. Any ideas?
Heat gun, and some 2k grit sand paper to get rid of the clear coat lines?

Got a chance to work on ole blackie for a bit. Rolled the 10.5 under, chopped 26" off the frame and mocked up the rear cross member. Almost tempted to link it

I would not try and remove it if they actually sprayed clear coat over it. Chances are it will not come off like you want it to, might do more damage than good. On top of that if you get the sticker off your exposing the entire bed side to more clear cost chipping off.

Gotts modded the air box, pulled the silencer horn. Changed the spark plugs.
I used the thin walled 3" PVC, no sanding needed for the 2000, even used some adhesive backed foam pipe insulation around the PVC and inner fender to seal it better and hold it in place. The silencer horn detaches after using a heat gun around the big end. Didn't even take the accordion tube off and got it out of there with some cutting.

finally got the fuel filter changed today, after having to return the first tool I got that didn't fit in the line disconnects to remove them, and picked up a fuel line removal tool kit that came with different sized pieces. this tool worked a whole lot better, put it on and it got the lines disconnected from the old filter in no time at all. the biggest pain was getting the old filter out of the metal retaining clip that's off the frame rail, it put up a good fight. while removing it I bent the inlet line to the old filter and fuel started pouring out of the damn thing soaking my hands and the driveway with fuel, thank god for blue shop towels. got the new filter in, snapped the lines on and the safety clips, put the negative battery cable back on and cycled the key twice and cranked it for a second and stopped, then cranked it again and she fired right up faster than she's been able to do in a good long while! truck also feels quite a bit more responsive now and feels like it's running a lot easier and smoother. the old filter had started corroding and tarnishing on the outside because it had been on my truck for so long, it was definitely well past due for being replaced. glad that's taken care of now though.
