Is your Jeep "Trail Rated" ?????

For those of you with older Jeeps who are intimidated by the Jeep Liberty and the '05 Commander because of their badge, you can now join the group

I guess it's cool they're doing it, but jeez

I'm going to have to pass. I'm secure in my Jeephood/Jeepliness

You might wonder if earlier models of Jeep 4x4s are qualified to wear the new Trail Rated badge. The answer is an unequivocal yes! That's because we've been using tough standards to test the capability of Jeep vehicles from day one. Now there's one universal badge for all Jeep four-wheel-drive vehicles.

To receive Trail Rated badging for a prior model year Jeep vehicle call: 1-800-925-JEEP (925-5337).

I can't believe that.

That's almost as big a waste of time as arguing politics on a Jeep board!
:wink:

... almost.

Where's my phone !?!

Can I get one that says "Extreme Trail Rated"? How about one that just says "I'm not afraid to drive it into my yard (off-road) to wash it"? Ohh wait a minute......that's what "Trail Rated" means right?

I'm Mall Rated. Yesterday I did a speed bump that was from hell. Locked it in, picked a line and went for it......

Yeah, but now those badges will be put on YJs!!!!......and then the whole world will know it's just a bunch of crap.

J/K my square eyed friends :wink:

Thanks TC

I called today, on Sunday, a lady answered and she is sending me a badge. They will only send you one badge per person though.

True Trail rating badges are built not bought...

Oh wait, it actually goes...

True Jeeps are built not bought.

Just Chryslers way of letting us modders know that they made their own badge!

I thought trail rated badges were the scratches down the side from tree limbs in the path. :?

Body damage is (or at least was and will be soon again) my trail badge.

Not set up for that man, you'd kill me there......unless it was really wet. But I'll tell you what, meet me at the mud pit and I'll drag you farther than you could make it under your own power.

By the way, nice comeback :P

currupt4130 · #14 (**permalink**) 09-15-2005, 10:02 AM

i bet you could... actually i know you could. wait till after this winter and i might have a fighting chance though...

Junkpile · #15 (**permalink**) 09-15-2005, 10:39 AM

To be honest, my junk couldn't even make it to the mud pit right now......so you win there too. I just like talking crap

So i know its probsably funny, but i wanted a trail rated badge for my XJ, which is actually used for trails. I called and Jeep said the promotional is over 08-31-05, but they sent the left over badges to Jeep dealerships to give away. So i call around the eastern shore and long and behold no free badges, only ones you can BUY. Who else here thinks the dealership is selling the free Badges? Oh Well, i wanted onee, but i won't pay for it.
