You mean the ones jeep supplies with it's vehicles?

If so, they are not that reliable, they are based on the rating that jeep uses for it's Jamboree's, which basicly states a rubicon and go any where (which is just not true) It is also only a 1-5 rating where as most clubs and organizations rate on the 1-10 scale.

I picked up mine last night and it has the trail rated badge only on the drivers side. I'll put a pic up later. It doesn't look too bad.

Thanks guys, 'preciate it. I've been waiting along time so I'm glad it's finally sitting out there in the parking lot all shiney and new. I'll have to do something about that 'shiney' part. :wink: I'll get a pic or two up tonight.

I will, hopefully, be headed to Tug's in November. I know the PERFECT trail to get the "Used" look quickly. Maybe you can beat my record of 9K (with witnesses) breaking the Jeep in RIGHT!!!

Take you to the Cabin.

i think tug has got a great point there.. especially with the short wheelbase jeeps, it DOES prove trail readiness

I've got about 5 'Trail Ready' badges, each one caused by a tree, rock, dirt wall, etc.
