I find the decals on the rear quarter panels of most pickup trucks (announcing Pre-Runner, Hi-Lander, 4x4, etc.) to look like they were designed for/and by 12 year old Japanese boys. I do not feel I have to have one more anncouncement to the world about the details of my truck, somewhere on the body.
As I know these were installed by the factory, I would like to just 'peel' the things off and throw them away. However, I also do not want to damage any of the paint or surface underneath.
Has anybody 'safely' removed these unsightly pieces of verbage...?

I took an Austrian to buy 50% into the company and build it into a 'global brand'.
Red BullFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaRed Bull's AH-1F Cobra helicopterRed Bull is an energy drink sold by Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987. In terms of market share, Red Bull is the most popular energy drink in the world, with 5.387 billion cans sold in 2013.[1][2][3][4]
Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz was inspired by a pre-existing energy drink named Krating Daeng (Thai: กระทิงแดง, Thai pronunciation: [kràtʰiŋ dɛːŋ]), which was first invented and sold in Thailand. He took this idea, modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of westerners,[5] and, in partnership with Chaleo Yoovidhya, founded Red Bull GmbH in Austria. In Thai, daeng means red, and krating is the reddish-brown muscle-bound bovine called a "gaur", an animal slightly larger than the bison. Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can; in Thailand and in some parts of Asia it is sold in a wider gold can with the name of Krating Daeng or Red Bull Classic.[6] The two are different products, produced separately.

Actually, name one thing that Thai's have 'invented' that the world is using.
Not only did they not invent anything of worth or value...but their attempt to counterfiet and copy other items and procedures falls way short of the mark.

"Ridiculous title to a ridiculous topic.
We are sharing this planet, exchanging ideas and ideals.
Look at any place on the planet and you will see the exchange."
Not rediculous...Thailand is great at taking, and not giving.
Check your history...'Muay Thai' is really 'Muay Khmer'...case in point.

"You need one set of 4. One nut for each wheel."
Got it...I was being sarcastic. Thanks trans.
-
"They come in sets of four for a reason."
Thanks Crossy, so 6 sets should cover it...!
But seriously, are the threads 'universal' (one size fits all) for all trucks/cars, etc...?
-
"The only locking wheel nuts that work are a single nut for each wheel that doesn't look like a nut, it has a matching socket to use on a 1/2 inch drive to undo it."
Trans,
I have seen those on the web, do you need 6 per wheel, or just one per wheel...?
-
trans,
seems to me it is the same size as the other tires, but not sure about the rim, Will have to wait till I see it again. Whatever is standard from the factory for 2013.
By the way, do you recommend 'wheel lock' lug-nuts...?
-
"Get the spare wheel lock from Chevy."
Thanks for that. That was my very first thought. However, the Chevy Dealer Sales Manager said..."No Hab"
"In fact google pickup spare wheel lock and you should see a few different makes/types."
I have been doing that, but being unfamiliar with the mech, I do not know what I am looking at or if they are Chevy Colorado specific?
I guess next week I'm going to have to crawl under the truck and stare at it for a bit, to get a feel for what is there and what I should need to secure it. I was hoping for an easier 'plug and play' senario.
Thanks

We are going to pick up a (new to us) truck next week, and were told that we are going to need to put a lock on our under-the-bed spare tire/wheel. However, we were not shown exactly where or how it attaches, or what type/cost/where to buy. This is for a Chevy Colorado 4-door w/17" wheels. Dealer does not have. I am assuming I can go to Big C and get this stuff.
I googled for a picture but came up empty handed...anybody have a picture so I know what to look for...?
Also, is it recommended to get 'wheel-locking-bolts' for the other 4 wheels...?
Thanks

Hey Thanks Jackbox,
I have an old Nokia, but the wife has a Thai Blackberry Curve that says T-Mobile on the front. However, she currently is not using any 'Blackberry' service...just a SIM card from True. Will this allow usage in the USA...?
Thanks again.

My Thai wife says this is possible...can I take my Thai Nokia mobile phone to the USA and just pop in a USA SIM card for local use in the states...?
