'Badge of Honor' like program?

Boy this went off the rails quick.
I don’t see it as bragging is see it as being proud you and your Bronco were able to accomplish a tough trail or attended a gathering or fund raiser. It’s all in good fun really.

I agree, which is why my stickers don’t include vendors. As for “Veteran stories”, that’s why I have the Mission 22 sticker.

Live and let live. If badges help to put a smile on someone's face and no harm is done than I'm all for it. Life is tough enough as it is, there's no reason to go out of one's way to make it more difficult for one's self or anyone else's. Pay it forward and all that. On any given day you can choose what you want to put into the world. Act as if it's your last chance to do something good, because it just might be.

Well said, @Umichigan ! Smooth the way when we can, scroll on if something annoys us… no one will know, I promise.

too often people feel the need to knock others down in order to feel somehow superior, (unsuccessfully, IMHO)

Hope your ride isn’t too broke’

Thank you for the kind input. Yes, the Bronc is broke. My front diff took a nose dive. It is currently at the dealer awaiting a replacement that is backordered until May. Crossin' my fingers that it will arrive sooner.

I just put the little white sticker EXPLORE with the mountain tops and the arrow pointing offroad, Might add a Seattle Kraken sticker somewhere and B done. I do like the ability to make your Bronco YOURS and cant wait to meet up with a Bronco group just to check out all the differences out there. I will probably join THE WILD HORSES herd in April @ Lodi, CA.

I retract my snarky comments about stickers, above. There's a difference between fun memories and bragging. Looking at the Jeep Badge-of-Honor track impressed me, a lot. I just might download it. I do draw the line at product stickers--they come in everything I buy! And I still think stick-figure families, and their variants, are silly.
I may disagree with your bumpersticker, but I'll fight to the death your right to stick it!

I agree wholeheartedly. Think of it this way, what's one of the major topics of conversation when Bronco owners (or really any off-roaders) get together? They talk about what trails they have been on. The trail stickers are just an other way to jumpstart those conversations. For example, I had someone come up to me at one of the Bronco get togethers and ask, hey, I've see you've been to Bronco Knoll. What route did you take? How was it? Did you need 4 low?, etc. and we had a great discussion about that trail/location.

if there's an interest we could pull something together, using the center console badge as a template... create a console badge for the trail, you could mount it on your bronco in the center console... or create a display to hang on the wall and collect... or attach them to any molle system you have in your vehicle...

Attached an image... not very creative... but it's a start

I’m looking for something that I can use to track all the trails I’ve been on, not just a single one.

Take your design and skip the hole cut outs. Add a Velcro or sticky back, and then let me customize the date. Then I would order one plate for every major trail I’ve accomplished.

I like this Idea. I could stick these on my tailgate or something. But what is a Major trail that deserves a badge? what would the criteria be? If @ccshndl is making these custom then the buyer can make that decision and if they are proud of that accomplishment then I am all for it. there are some Private trails that are tough that I would like a Badge for like Katemcy Rocks or Wolfs Caves.

If these could be fully customizable, choose whatever you want.

Other wise you could start with the Jeep Badge of Honor trails and go from there.

Good stuff.

It's an option... we can make most any layout and guessing the most interesting designs will float to the surface.

With regards to holes/no holes... you may have to live with holes unless the demand for these makes it worth while and I could provide velcro or double-sided tape.. but assume the buyer will have a better solution for their own purposes.

Just offering my $0.02... you know where to find us... CC

That's a great idea. If there was velcro on the back, us hard top guys could put them on the sound deadening material on the roof panels. That's where I have some BN velcro badges.

I like this. To add to the trail (hah, pun sorta intended):

• Agree with remove the holes. But keep the size and metal nature of them.
• Agree with use the Jeep trails as a starting point. I don't see why not. Maybe add the Off-Roadeo spots and each Super Cel location.
• Instead of a velcro backing, I'd choose a 3M sticky backing. I would mount on the inside of the rear "trunk" space using the 3M adhesive. Solves a bit of the "stick figure" and "mall crawling bro" issue discussed, but could make it a spot. Then for those that have something like the ARB storage container or the one from Diabolic Inc, just mount them on top of that like a placard.

Finally, I do not have the skillset or tools to bring any of this to life, but it seems like a really great idea.

I support some variation of the 'Badge of Honor' program. The demand is certainly there and will bring it up with the team. As with most things we do, we'd rather do them 'right' than 'now'. Will keep y'all posted and keep adding feedback/suggestions here! We would ultimately want to make it super member focused since you all live it every day!

I might have said this before, but my advice is don’t over think it. You don’t need to try and reinvent the wheel just to be unique From Jeep. You can keep it a simple as a merit badge and it will be crazy popular. I worry that Bronco Nation will take too long to come up with an original concept and then it will get stuck in Ford’s development and approval hell.

Is there any plans for a 'Badge of Honor' like program from the Bronco Nation like Jeep does? I think the Bronco Nation would be ideal for providing this.

Here are you ultimate badges of honor. Note: colors may vary

Well other non-Jeepers apparently have the same idea. This is fairly new

I'll sign up and give it a shot.

I like that you can get badges for trails you have already visited.
