Maybe be more selective about your stickers and reduce the number. Too many and it gets kinda distracting from your truck as a whole. Less is more.

Stickers are like Tattoos. Takes alot of thought as to how to decorate with them. I have more than a few tatts and it took some time figuring out where and what to do. I just knew I wanted more than one.

Your on the right track asking for input and putting this much thought into it cause, IMO you can pull it off and make it look good.

1.) Ditch the TRD sticker and let the uninformed guess what rig you have.
2.) Use your winch to advertise for Warn, I agree the stickers are cool but opted to put mine on my sticker door in my shop.

3.) Anything that would take up the side of a door should be close to your heart. I would use your club logo there and the website underneath it.

4.) Since your minus the rear glass (like me) use your tailgate as a central place to put the smaller less important stickers then if you have spill over, make a feiring for your rack and put them up high where people can see.

If some of these vendors swagged you with goods, then that's a good reason to put a sticker on there. But like when choosing the right wife, you don't screw every girl in the neighborhood

That's my 2 Cent. I dig your rig. Very cool.

I have to agree with the "less is more". Don't get me wrong, I'm a sticker nut, but they're all surf/MTB/mountainboarding stickers that are carefully placed on the back window. But you know, it's your rig, and if it looked like all the others out there it would be boring. I think you should do what you want. But that's my opinion, for what it's worth...

I agree. The TRD would look pretty cool, if it was a little smaller.

i think the way it is now with the TRD draped down the fender and the oval T on the side look great... why mess with perfection?

Our club all gets re-stickered once a year. (Most just get new Obsessive logo's and stuff) But as I host the website and do allot of other stuff, and Im good friends with the owner of the decal shop I get allot of freebies.

So Im trying to come up with something Unique and differant.

Maybe Ill re-do the Club Logo with a Toyota in it
