Debadge?

[JohnnyMac]

I did it because with all the weight of the badges I removed and the added aerodynamics, I get at least two more MPGs.........

I was wondering the same about debadging. I just got my 1st RAM, 2017 Big Horn Crew 4x4. Only 14K miles, 3.92 rear, anti-slip, 32gal tank, tow pkg. Need it for cross country RV trips. It was partially debadged, "1500 RAM" off the doors. I guess the previous owner didn't like it. I'm not a chrome fan so won't add back.

cross country rv'ing! now your talkn my language! im not in a place in my career to be going cross country, but i do alot of weekend trips. camping season is always in when you cross country rv! in pa, i wait for spring-fall camping

On my Classic there is so much on the doors . It just looks cluttered. I removed the RAM , 1500. and the Classic badges. I did leave the Hemi badge and then color matched my Classic emblem and placed it over the 5.7 part of the emblem it really looks good this way. The first was my test fit the second is now what is on my truck. View attachment 238659 View attachment 238660

just looks cleaner.

nope...

My husband asked how will people know it's a 4x4? Well, *I * know it is!

that's funny... why's it matter what other people know about your truck? The only things I need people to know about it is that it's "there" and ideally they should try to avoid maneuvers that would put us at risk of collision or disrespect each others' sense of urgency.

Badges....... We don' need no stinking badges!

yet I see stinking badges lol.

I was going to take the 4x4 off the rear, and the stuff on the sides....
But.. had the dealer do the coating stuff. I think ceramic. would have to ask. Can I just buy some at auto parts and do where the tape pulls off?
It's a lowly Tradesman, but lots of chrome...

Every badge adds 20 horsepower!

(B.B.B) BRING BACK BADGES

MAKE BADGES GREAT AGAIN!

I guess I'm not normal. I won't even buy a used vehicle that has been damaged! OK, debadged or whatever you want to call it! If someone removed badges what else did they do?

People that leave badges on don’t maintenance as well as those that care enough to remove the junk plastic badges. They don’t change the oil until it makes a noise and they for sure don’t flush their brake fluid every other year LOL

Causes turbulence like a flat bottom boat

Never thought about it until I got my 15. It was debadged. Debadging helped tone down all the chrome in the truck. I am not a big fan of a lot of chrome.

It used to be that every car got a nameplate and manufacturer plate or lettering. That was it. Badges and stickers are all about marketing and differentiation branding. It's gotten so out of hand because, to most folks, a truck is a truck. As my wife said, they all look alike. Hell all cars look alike. So lets stick on badges for brand, nameplate, option package, engine, drivetrain and we get to let everybody know what you've bought. I blame it all on the pony cars of the 60s.... every upgraded engine got a badge. Mustang High Output 5.0 Cherokee 4.0 4WD High Output, RAM 5.7 Hemi, ETorque, etc etc. ITS NUTS. No wonder folks have gotten sick of it.

I'd love to know what my Dad would think of all this. He's been gone 15 years. I remember him insisting that the dealer check off the DELETE Chrome trim package on the 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III he ordered. When the car showed up with chrome trim he refused delivery until Ford removed it properly without damaging the paint. He was an attorney with a contract that said no trim. Heritage Ford Lincoln Mercury was a dealership to despise. A few years later they got indicted for fraud.

Someone should post "HOW TO" debadge the proper way so some don't go "F" ing up their truck!!

Body shop and detailers job security. Even with step by step some people just can’t do it. Can’t teach patience

Yeah most cars in the 50’s didn’t even have the model name.
