I would PM you, but it might be useful to someone else in the future... whats the best way to apply these? i was going to do the soapy water method for sure, but just to make sure, just lightly apply, put the stickers on, and squeegee out right? How about longevity? I HATE putting stickers on my paint, windows are one thing, but paint, no way. So Im really scared to do this at all, how do they hold up over time? still good look to them?
I figure worst case scenario, in 2 years, i just buy another set and re apply over the first.. .

I took a small bowl and mixed a little dish soap with water. Just smear a little on the on the tailgate itself with your finger then put that letter on and adjust, do one at a time. Take your time positioning the sticker, you have several minutes to adjust the sticker,(until the soapy water dries up). Just lightly use your finger to squeagy out the soapy water once the sticker is set. If your too aggressive to get the soapy water out you'll just fight the sticker moving around, I did it plenty, you just have to feel it out as you go. Dont play with it too much. haha Once its where it needs to be LEAVE IT ALONE. Dont be all nervous thinking dang I have soapy water under my sticker it'll never stick. Wrong. It will be fine once it dries out. Mine (from ebay)came with two sets, so if you goof you should be safe.

spray the crap out of the bedside...spray the sticker so it's saturated.
put the sticker where you want. use your finger to "squeegee" a corner so it won't slide down. Then use a flat scraper (credit card) to finish the job.
I've done several sets and they still look good yrs later

Amazon has them for about $178 (each), so if you look around, make sure you can get it cheaper than that.

How do you like the Recon LED Tail lights. Did they come with the new flasher so they dont blink fast, and are they much brighter than the OEM ones. Im trying to find a nice set but no one local here has anything I can look at that is smoked like that. Everyone round here is running the chrome looking euro ones and I hate that look.

They have two lights. Which is hard to tell in the stock amber ones. But there are actually two bulbs. One does the lock the other does unlock, with the amber light it just looks like one.
I'll try to get a vid up later.
As for the box. I love that too. It holds so much. It's also lockable, and easily removable. So if your hauling something and need the room it come out in like 8 seconds.

Here is a quick vid I just walked out and made, horrible quality, just wanted to show how they work a little. I will do more later once I get everything up and running.
