Does anyone know how to remove the rear (on the tailgate) ram head? Is all I need is just a heat gun and some adhesive remover?

Spider Wire 10lb test line, a little heat, and some adhesive remover...

Simple to do...

Took me all of about an hour, to remove all the logos on the rear, and the door moldings...

Ok, so are we talking heatgun heat or hairdryer heat, or San Antonio, Texas heat! Then just run the spiderwire underneath and remove extra adhesive? Recommend a good adhesive remover? Thanks!

Cool, I didn't know it would be that easy. I've got the spider wire in the tackle box, gloves and wd-40 in the shed, and I'll go by Autozone in the morning and get a good adhesive remover! Thanks for helping me out.

Remember, with WD40 and Duct Tape you can fix anything.
If it moves and it shouldn't, use the Duct Tape
If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD40

Well the badge will get mother natures heat gun today since it will be 100 today with a heat index of 105. No need for the heat gun!! I am going to try and take it off this evening. I want it off because I am think about having Mr. Kling send me a monster ram head like on Turbo's truck, but I am going to center it on the back tail gate where the ram badge was. What does everyone think? I've looked at his a 100 times and keep thinking it would look awesome seeing that from behind. Not a huge one maybe 6-8" one in black.

Do it in the afternoon while the sun is still shining hard on it!
Then fishing line will cut right thru the adhesive holding it in place.
