yea the emblems are held on by some weird sticky tar like substance. idk what its called but its sticky. what i did was sprayed the top of all the emblems with some goo gone and let it sit about 30min. i then pryed the top of the emblem gently back and sprayed some more good one down behind the emblem. let it sit about another hour and they popped off.
the new ones just slide into the guide holes of the old ones and push firmly.

Nice truck! I don't know if I've said that yet, or not. I tried using that canned bedliner stuff but it didn't work on my tool box. I sanded it down some, and even used about 6-10 coats of the liner, but it is still getting scratched up. I don't know why it didn't work well, but maybe it's because I didn't use that spray primer. Anyways, are those Weather Tech floormats worth the money? I thought about them, but didn't know how much of the floor they actually cover, and now seeing that they're close to normal size floor mats (thought they covered the entire floor) didn't know if they are good.

yea the spray bedliner is crap. i scuff, used adhesion promoter, primer, and then bedliner and it still didnt stick to the chrome. as far as the weathertech there ok. i would get the eries ones as they are all rubber and not plastic like the weathertech. with my carpet hook that wont stay in i had to use some velcro to put mine to stay in one place. the guy i work with that has a 2012 got the weatherechs that go over the hump so the driver and passenger are connected.

Oh, ok, I didn't know if it was just me, or if that stuff was actually bad. Yeah, I saw the floor mat you're talking about that extends over to each side, but I'm guessing they don't make it for our year trucks, eh? Is Eries its own brand, or a style of Weather Tech (haven't searched it yet)?

I am loving those rims....i used plasti dip on my stock rims to get the feel/look for the black rims and like it just hard to clean with the fear of pealing it off.....now just have to find a deal on those raptor rims cause those are killer!!!! looks good with the contrast of the polished edges and black tiers the whole truck together
