debadged today

[Hemi Joe]

Looks a lot cleaner. Still left the Hemi badge, not sure if I want to remove that one yet or not. Eraser wheels are a godsend. I did my last truck with goo gone and my finger nail. Does anyone know if that giant Ram head on the tailgate is stuck on the same way or is it drilled?

I've never done the tailgate logo but I have read that it has a hole under it for a pin or something.

 

[BAILEY1]

That looks awesome! It really cleans everything up.

There is an endentation in the tailgate, it's not smooth...I kept the Hemi 5.7, until I did the Challenger HEMI, much smaller/cleaner IMHO.

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Yup the rear&front Ram heads are held on by 3m tape and plastic tabs!

 

[Hemi Joe]

Thanks for the comments and info.

Looks super sweet. Great work.

I was working on mine today with goo gone and fingernails.. Spent all afternoon and couldn't finish it. Should I use a hairdryer to take off the remaining tape? The badges are off already but not all of the 3M Tape

The rear is 3m tape with two little posts that go through the metal. No clips, but there would be and indentation and two holes left if you took it off.

Do yourself a favor and try to pick up an eraser wheel at a local parts store or paint supply house. Your fingers will thank you.

Joe, the truck looks awesome.

 

[ram-head]

Try pulling at a really low angle, almost straight away as close to the metal as you can. Think of those 3m picture hooks you see on TV, how they pull straight down the wall to remove them.

+1, made the job easy.

Nice!

I grabbed an eraser wheel off Amazon and I use 3M adhesive remover which is the best IMO! Both make quick work of the job.

FYI: those of you using goo-gone; it's been noted by users with light colored vehicles that it will discolor the area orange if you leave it on too long.

I'll be removing every badge that I can. Badges are evil!!

I wish I had bought an eraser wheel, it was terrible getting that reside off

 

[shibby927]

Looks clean. First thing I do when I buy a truck now is get all the badge junk off of it. I wish manufacturer's would be more subtle nowadays but I guess they figure the more badges they can cram on there they'll put on because it's free advertising.

Eraser wheel is a must. I learned that after spending a couple hours trying to pull the 3m tape off with my fingers when it was pretty cold out. I also left the HEMI badge but I might take it off to make it look even cleaner, haven't decided yet though.

Yeah, I had about 30 minutes total time involved including fishing line and the eraser wheel.

Looks great! I left my Hemi badges too. Though I often think of removing those as well.
