I've been looking at used cruisers and the gold package - yuck - ones all seem to have the rear Toyota " logo " on the left rear of the cargo hatch, where all the standard trim ones are located on the middle of the hatch. Where are they supposed to be?
Are the gold ones a pain to get off and replace? TX.
I just removed mine all together. You can replace them with the silver ones if you so choose. In fact, the gold is highly desired from what I understand (my Moroney sticker shows 585USD for 'gold package').
The toyota logo as pinch nuts on the inside of the tailgate, the awd crap is just stick on. The rear gate lock cover is also availabe as a separte item.
It's worthless if you don't remove the pinch nuts, most folks try to pry it off, and it breaks the alignment tabs in the logo (now it went from desired bling to garbage).
IIRC removing the access to get to the crimp nuts wasn't that hard. It does leave 2 holes in the back of the truck. I used some in the shop black plastic expanding inserts in their place, that you can barely see on a green truck.
Without the rear logos, the truck looks a lot cleaner IMO. However, once removed you do have to put up with the compliments to your nice looking Tahoe!
