Debadge Or Not?????

What do you all think?? I have the truck in my sig for 3 days now and I don't know if I like the badging. I like the Cummins 'C', RAM 2500, and the Ram head under the tailgate handle. I dont know if I like the 'Bighorn Edition' badge on either side or the rest of the slt, 4x4, etc on the tailgate. Should I take off partial like that or just take off all??

Thanks,

Brian

Whomever, at Dodge, thought that we needed Laramie, 4x4, HEAVY DUTY, Ram3500, Cummins C's, Or the gawd awful 4" rams head stuck to my truck should have put the extra $2500.00 worth of tooling into making the transmission actually work!!

These trucks should not be designed to be rolling billboards for Dodge nor Cummins!

"If it don't run chrome it" Is one ignorant philosophy!!

DEBADGE it already!!!

I vote debadge. However, I have considered buying a ram head to put on my tailgate like the 05 on up trucks.

I like the badges personally, but I took off my hideous TRX4 stickers, problem is the TRX4 doesn't have a 4X4 badge...I should borrow one from my mom's neighbor. He's got a 2 wheel drive 3.7l V-6 (?) he ordered 3 4x4 badges, put one on the tailgate, one on the LR quarter panel and one on the RR quarter panel.

He was parked outside one day showing it off to some girl when I pulled up next to him to visit my mom, I felt bad for him...I was in my 06 (See sig), a few days later he was outside putting on his 4X4 emblems I pulled up to visit mom again, I was in my 02 (See sig).

Poor guy.

I do like the Cummins C badge and the ram 2500, I dont like the bighorn or all the stuff on the tailgate. If I debadge, i have to do it before saturday because I am having the dealer put some protective coating on it and the interior. It is apparently a new coating, don't have to wax for 5 years just reapply once a year. Keeps the scratches out and helps with dings from rocks.

I like the badges.. I think it offsets the truck nicely. I MIGHT take the ram 2500 badges off the door, but that'll be it.

Just take off the ones you don't like and leave the rest. I took off the ugly mega cab emblems and the emblems on the tail gate. Just don't take off the cummins emblems (don't want people to think you have a Hemi)

Debadge it...all those emblems create excess drag at highway speeds.

Anticipate increased mileage.
