David, you can try a little heat from a hair dryer, but I'm afraid you'll never get it off without mucking it up. I know I've never been successful in removing one that I messed up. I just made it worse. It may just be one of those, "no one can see it unless you show it to them" things. Good luck, I know how stuff like this aggravates me, and you also I'm sure.

Im leaning towards one time use also. Probably end up looking worse trying to re-stick it than what it is now.

I'd agree with this, plus you will not have all the adhesive that you originally began with on the letter. Unless you've got the letter outside the depression for it, I'd let it be.

If it is that bothersome, I' get the tailgate damper because it is supposed to get your life in zen-ville some say...;)

They are made from ABS plastic with 3M double sided tape according to the website, I just don’t wanna screw up the paint job if I try to remove and replace it.

If you're going to pull it, heat it up first and then use nylon fish line like floss behind it, it'll come right off. But, there may not be enough 3m left on it for reattach.

I put something simular on my last Tacoma and it was a decal and you wet both the tailgate and the decal, got in position and let it dry. Haven't looked at one for this ranger yet.
