Ryan, I don't mean to hijack the great badge debate, so PM me if you'd like...do you have more info or close up pics of the mounting brackets for the Rigid light on your rack above the driver's door?
I'm looking for something that will let me swivel and move the light around when I'm using it, but be able to rotate it on the rack bar or otherwise swing it down out of the way when not in use.

its always fun to mess with badging, I dont like badging at all in general and especially the stock TRD Pro badging so I pulled mine immediately. Then after a while I started thinking how naked it looked so I redid mine...eh. Easy off, easy on
This is a little unorthodox but I was curious to see if it worked and I needed something to test out Plasti Dip on. So here is what I started with:
Cost me $8 shipped on eBay. I liked the font and it kind of matches the 4Runner font on the back.
I trimmed off the unneeded letters and sprayed on the Dip. I did 6 coats with 30 min between them. Here was the result.
Here it is on the vehicle.
Pretty happy with how it turned out. Just something different which is what I am after. Let me know what you think!

Looks like a GoPro with one of their standard post/bar mounts clamped to the rack.
In looking at it again, i think you're probably right.

I'm curious to see some opinions on this: How do you folks feel about the idea of putting TRD Off Road badges on a Trail? I just picked one up and I like how the badges look on the C-pillar. I'm NEVER one to badge a vehicle as something that it's not, but since the Trail and TRD Off Road are almost identical, I think I could let it slide. Please help me settle my internal ethical dilemma

I know what I would tell you to do
It's your truck though do whatever you want:
Ok yeah maybe you've convinced me. Is there a difference in the finish quality between the plastic and the steel badges?

Personally the premium finish plastics are the way to go and they are inexpensive. A rattle can UV coating or plastic dip guarantees quite a bit of longevity. I have a 5 year old print on an outside truck and it is just getting time to re-dip it.
I have only seen pics of metal prints and the layering is more visible on older prints, they have a newer technique but I think it is pretty expensive to gamble on, unless you have money to burn on it, sadly I don't. I am not sure how workable the surface is on the metal prints, ie if you can sand and smooth.
That have a new multi-color printer. I'd love to see a print with every material available, that'd cost me $1500+.
