Default Removing the 4x4 stickers

I assume that people have Removed the 4x4 stickers on the sides of the bed.
I also assume that some heat and patients to pick it off is the method to remove it.

Do they come off fairly easy?
Any other tricks?

Pro-form adhesive remover and a heat gun/plastic razor

I pulled my fx4 stickers off no problem, no heat. Used a little goo gone to clean up the area afterwards.

Really easy way to remove stickers: park in direct sun for about a half hour. Then peel sticker from corner at a sharp angle, remove any sticker residue (shouldn't have much) with rubbing alcohol. Turn truck around, start over! Good luck, Ken.

Once the sticker is removed and cleaned up underneath is there any difference with the paint in the surrounding area? I think I should have taken mine off months ago.

I took mine off the first week I owned it, but just left her in the sun and peeled away. Very minimal sticker residue on the paint. I just used some wax and buffed it right off. No chemicals needed.

No, you're fine. It would take years for the clear/paint to oxidize. Just chase the sticker area with some wax because the paint will be bare underneath.
