Un "broverlandering" my 80 (removing PO's Overland Bound Medallion)

[Tony_Farson]

Well... I was able to do sticker abatement but I discovered that the PO superglued or JV welded (or something) his Overland Bound medallion to the fender. I want it gone! But I don't want a big hole in the paint where it used to be either. Anyone have suggestions?

I tried floss and fishing line behind it, didn't work. I am thinking about some sort of adhesive remover, but again, I don't want to eat through the paint if I can help it.

A bit of heat gun, then back to the fishing line?

I managed to remove it, but like most cancers the broverlander medallion left a scar. Pull some clear coat with it... Oh well just one more blemish to add to the others.

What do you think of the roof rack so far?

Looks cool... lol. I have my RTT mount brackets coming this week and my tent should arrive next week. That'll be my first experience messing with it. I will say that road noise is insignificant. That might be because of my light bar but they sell a silencer kit for the rack too.

Personally I only ever put my RTT on my cruiser once. I hated it! It’s too much work to crawl up and down and all over to set up/take down. Now I only use it in my trailer or my pick up. Nice 80 btw!

I am too poor to have a trailer! I won't be using the RTT for the March trip since we will be base camping and exploring from there. For trips like Blackrock where it is camp and drive, camp and drive, the RTT makes more sense.

This RTT isn't my final one. I'll be getting the GoFast SuperLite and it only weighs 80 lbs. I won't get it until September so I needed one in a pinch.

It’s just a $250 pick up trailer with a home built rack. Lol
