FX4 Sticker Removed

[rydfree]

That's weird, they don't even list the Ranger on the Falken website. I know, search by tire size, but it's still weird.

I'm not sure if they carry the stock size tires . I went up 2 sizes from stock .

I think 265/70/17 AT/Mts look perfect with a 2" lift and they will require no further modification

. I have Cooper Wild Treks and pretty happy with them. Still debating removing fx4 decal. Worried about paint fade.

Paint fade shouldn’t be an issue. I have had my Carbonized Gray 2021 Ranger since late February of 2021, and as of just last week I removed my oem 4x4 decals and replaced them with black and gray 4x4 decals, and there was no color fade or difference of any kind. Here’s a pic of the decal removed:

Aside from using the tape as a guide there is no indication that there was ever a decal on the bed. I say go for it.

Where did you get the black and gray ones?

I've never been a fan of decals on truck beds. I prefer a clean look and wanted to remove the Sport 4x4 decals from my 2019, but was hesitant because I was concerned about paint fade, adhesive residue, damaging my paint removing them, etc. After reading this thread I realized it wasn't difficult - use a hairdryer and peel. They came off so easily! And I'm really happy with the results. A nice, clean look that lets the Hot Pepper Red shine.

Cheers!

Mines a 2019 tri metallic platinum. I have been advised that after 3 years it will need to have the clear coat "buffed" out, hence my reluctance. Should have removed it when I first gog

If the red did not fade looks good for my platinum! I am almost ready to rip off the bandaide....

So thanks to all of you for building up my courage. I gently pulled at the corner and the whole damn sticker litterly peeled off with almost 0 effort. Should have done it 3 years ago?

Did you notice a discrepancy in MPH with the bigger tires?

My first mod was peeling my FX4 sticker with the power washer less than 24 hours after picking it up. I'd peel every label and branding off if I could. I know it's a Ford Ranger, I don't need no stinkin' labels.

Any faded paint stand out after removing them?

On my truck, right after I took the stickers off, if you looked for it, you could see a slight residue of the adhesive. Over time, that must have worn off, and now there is no visible difference between the formerly covered spots and the rest of the truck. Of course, if you waited years before pulling them off, the paint around them would probably have taken enough of a beating that the protected spots would shine through with their "protected" paint jobs!

When I purchased my '22 XLT, told the salesman to have the prep-team in the body shop who were washing and detailing it to remove the stickers. The salesman came out to us laughing.....one of their body-men came in running to the salesman......they were washing it and the stickers came off......what are we to do???? Salesman laughed at 'em and said the buyer wanted them removed you're good! LOL Think that body-man had to go clean out his shorts! LOL

Went from 30.4" to 31.9" maybe off 3%? Not real worried about it. Someday when I drive less city and live in the North Carolina mountains I will go to 34 or 35 tires and correct it then?
