Hey, that's the file I made for my gf's cricut! Here are some sizing tips from the reddit post I made for it:



Basically, I just found the best picture online of the tailgate letters on a sheet, and then use Adobe Capture to turn that into an SVG. Because the picture that I used had the vinyl sheet slightly bowed, the letters are not perfect, but they are good enough that unless someone gets very very close you’re not really gonna notice.

To cut these out of the vinyl, you’ll want to import the SVG into cricket design, space, and then set the width to 5.7 inches and that will basically get you right in the ballpark of the size you need. I had set mine to 5.75 inches and on the E and C they were just barely too wide. Again, not enough to notice but I think 5.7 will be perfect. You may also noticed that there are some extraneous shapes on the sheet, those can be removed in Design Space if you wish. I cut out everything just cause I wasn’t positive what should and should not be used, considering I found this off of a picture of what someone actually sells on eBay.

Thank you for posting it originally. I didn’t remember where I found it, or I would have given you the credit. I’m sorry for not doing that.

Oh no worries at all! I'm just glad it's getting used and is helpful

I bought these (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/49ASz9M

Pricey, but great quality. Not a cheap cut film, but more of a 3D beveled emblem

Me too, pleased with them

I haven’t used it yet. My truck is on a train right now. I am all for giving credit where credit is due and appreciate you putting that file out there. I will definitely be playing with it. I think I made a couple of modifications to the original, although I don’t remember what I did.

I like mine, they're raised and still look good months later.

Black with red outline. Dead sexy on carbonized grey!

What are the best letters to buy for the tailgate on 224 Mav?

I came across these at tvdvinyldecals.com. Easy install. Tough and durable. I figure at 70 mph nobody will know whether they’re 3D or not.

Bought my set off Amazon for around 15 bucks. 3D type. Mine look the same as the truck above. So far so good.

Link? So far I’m not finding a $15 set in Amazon

Just found and ordered these on eBay. $20. Much cheaper than the tuffskinz brand.

Carbonized Gray w/Black Appearance Package. Just added Tufskinz. They were great to work with. Wasn't showing on website, but they made Black Matte Reflective for me. Pretty subtle in daylight, but they really pop at night when light hits them.

Sorry, I ordered them back on September just before my truck came in and this morning Amazon seems to be having issues bringing up archived orders and the ones I ordered no longer seem available or will not come up. My wife seems to think we paid more, so it is possible my memory may be a bit off.

I tried ordering the same from TuffSkinz. I emailed saying this wasn’t in their drop down list on their website to order. They emailed back and told me they could make them and just to tell them exactly what I wanted. I emailed back and with what I wanted and green crickets. I never heard back from them. Disappointing because I had ordered from them once already to get letters for my Bronco Sport. I would have liked to stay with them.

Matte black versus gloss black? Which one do you think looks best. My Lariat Oxford White is scheduled to be built first week in April.

Have Lariat Oxford White scheduled for first week in April. Black Matte or Gloss? Which one do you think will look best? Reflective?
