SilverBack with missing "Back".

So we just purchased a 2012 SilverBack 29RE. Upon first looking at the outside, I happen to notice that the "Back" in the "SilverBack" decal is missing on all sides. Does anyone happen to know why this would be this way? I'm pretty sure the previous owner didn't remove them. He was also the original owner. If these weren't left off by the manufacturer, why would someone want to remove that? Click image for larger version

I think he did it. The back goes above the cedar creek part. Any decal installer would notice it big that much of sticker missing. Might have called it silver. Sucks cause I think you have to get the whole decal if it bothers you enough.

If it has original tires you need to replace those China bombs. They will do serious damage if one blows. Ask me how I know. Click image for larger version

My problem with LT's is finding them in the size I need that will handle the weight. In the same size tire, the ST tires will always carry more weight than the LT. How do you get around that?

I was able to find acceptable rating in my size for my 36RLTS. Have run two sets with no problems after Cooper ST OEM failure. Major damage.

I own a Silverback and I will tell you the past owner had to have done this, this is to big to be missed by the factory, I guess the past owner was trying to pull a fast one on some folks?

Our Crusader came through the factory, dealer and our bringing it home when we realized the entire name was missing from the passenger side....

We even had to send pictures to dealer and PT Roger .....they sent them right to us and we had a friend in the sign business put them on

It can happen😃
