RANGER Tailgate Lettering Inlay Vector Graphic for DIY Stickers (.eps, Legacy .ai)

[Atitagain]

Joe - I added some pics of my lettering, including the dash in the post above. These are Silver Gray. TDVinyl Decals offers several different color schemes and they also allow you to mix them up as I did for my truck. I might add, the decals were easy to install, if you follow their instructions with warm mildly soapy water and a spray bottle. Some people remove the tailgate when installing their letters so they have a flat surface. I did not do this, but I could see how it might make it a little easier? If you just keep everything wet until you get the lettering positioned to your satisfaction.. You will also want to use something like a narrow plastic putty knife, or similar tools (even a credit card), to gently smooth out your lettering and work the water and bubbles out. Once the water dries, they adhere extremely well. - For the grill and especially the dash, I used a Q-tip with the cotton swab nipped off. This way you can work it softly into the corners and then press it into place. The dash took me into extra innings, but again, if you keep it wet and take your time, you'll get it in place.. I might add, I am NOT a gentle hand at anything and can get impatient with stuff, but this was not a bad job and I had everything done, even with taking my time in about an hour (+/-).

Thanks Wayne, I like those dash inlays a lot. My truck is Race Red and I put black raised inlays on the tailgate. Thanks for taking the time to post the photos.

oh well, did I just convert those letters to a STL file so I can 3d print them?! ohhhhh yeeeees!

I've still not tested these to make sure they fit ?

I thought for sure John was gonna hop on it.

Has anyone tested these yet? If not I will try them out.

Well finally got around to cutting out some letters. They are a bit small. Gonna make them a bit bigger and try again. This is just static cling so it's easy to apply and remove. Will use actual sticker when I get the size down.

Wow someone actually tried them! Very cool - I'm willing to collaborate with you on any adjustments that need to be made and update the final file list. It looks like some of the thinner strokes on the letters could be fattened up, too.

I have only made one change so far and that's changing the height of the letters to 2.4inch. While keeping the x and y axis locked so the ratio stated the same. It looks like it should work much better. I will try again tomorrow.

Decided to try another set. Because I didn't want to wait. ? I the the leg or whatever they are called on the letter G need to be squared off like it is on the E. Other than that it's looking better.

Any chance you had any luck with the scaling for the tailgate?

I didn’t have any luck. I had to go online and find someone else’s lettering then measured the letters on my Ranger to match.
