Debadged it and cleaned my tips. She got a little dusty after driving around a bit though:

That gum residue under the badges was rough. Especially under the REBEL, since it covered the most real estate.

I'll get to the front skid plate sometime this week.

Not sure what you ended up using and it’s a little to late but the eraser wheel is an awesome invention for that. I finally broke down and bought them on amazon for 29 bucks for a double set or 15 for just one. af36d7e8a4fa1b3dcc6347d4b7f0be60.jpg

Been there and done that with blisters from removing decals. No thanks. The eraser wheels are time and finger savers.

Replaced the bulb in my new underhood light with one of those twisted festoon led bulbs from amazon. 2 for 12 bucks. Just can't go wrong & so much brighter!

Changed rear diff fluid, surprised how easy it was. Was going to change transfer case but fill plug is not budging, will try again tomorrow.

And, pulled headliner and pillars for a duplicolor spray dye job!
I'll put it all back together tomorrow for a photo shoot.

In for the pics of the headliner job. I was just thinking today how I would like my headliner to be all black.

I washed 'er up yesterday and while drying I decided to put my glasses on and do some inspecting. I have to say that I don't think I've ever looked at my Ram's exterior with my glasses on. I use readers but my vision is getting really bad so it was an 'eye opener' for sure. I found some damage to my drivers side tail light and a small scrape on the bumper that I have no idea how it happened. I don't think I hit anything, but it's not really that bad and almost unnoticeable until you get up close. It appears to be some white residual paint marks, but I'm still not sure if that's paint or just material. *shrug* Looks like I'll be ordering those new LED's sooner than I thought.

Also, and now this is really embarrassing... I thought my brand new rims center hubs were going bad already with some bubbling but it was just the protective shipping film still on them.

Oy vey.

I wanted to go with smoked but I'm still in the thought and R&D stage. I don't wanna get pulled over for a cracked taillight so I better push it through.
