4X4 Decal Replacement

Any good ideas for what to replace this "4x4" decal with? I always felt that it was too much badging anyway and it basically says "I didn't choose the FX4 package".

Just leave it blank, would be my advice. I'm thinking about removing mine, and going commando.

^+1 I bought my truck late in the evening and the first thing I did the next day was to remove the FX4 stickers.

First thing I take off. Actually tell the dealer to do it.

They look so much out of place.

Ditto on the first thing I did. I ordered with 4x4, AT tires, and skid plates. I installed Bilstein 5100's when the truck hit 60 miles and added the hill descent control switch soon after. Still have to do the forscan mod to add hill dc. I don't care as much what it looks like as much as what it does. Function over form - go, not show.

They actually aren’t hideous on a gray truck or a truck with the gray pocket wheels (non chrome package).

I've gone a couple of different ways. One was to just remove it. The other was to find a color I liked better and replace it. Last time I found some nice FX4 decals on ebay. They looked authentic and supposedly were licensed by Ford but in a color I'd never seen. No one but me knew that the truck was not an FX4.
You might also get a local graphics shop to come up with a design and color of your liking, I know that we have a shop in my area that's pretty darned good and does rear window graphics for me. I've never cared for the colors on these factory 4x4 decals.

I took the hideous sticker off my 2018 when I first got it. The "Sport 4x4" sticker on my '24 is smaller, and blends in with the paint pretty good....so I may just leave it on there.

That looks like a replica of the OBS stickers from '92-'97.
