I like the Jeep badge. But the stickers were removed on Day 1. Heated with a hairdryer and they peeled right off with no residue.

I de-badged my JL Too (as I did with my previous JK).
Left the Sahara badging on (for now).

I just got the same black with red letter Trail Rated badge. It appears to be about 1/8" larger in diameter than the factory badge. Did you notice this and did you have any issues with installing the new badge?

I removed the stickers and dipped the emblems gold. Didn’t care for the chrome and didn’t want black either. May change it to more of a bronze color down the line, but for now I’m too lazy to change it again

Yes what Jay said, I'm not sure I would recommend trying to remove the trail rated badge. Besides it's badass!
My Trail Rated badge is off-center. My OCD is now on high alert. Are these badges glued on?

Holy crap. I want to scratch my eyeballs out now. Please fix it and then delete that photo or replace it with a photo of it fixed. It’s killing me!

I’ve had this tank sticker laying around for 30 + yrs. in a small parts box on the shelf. Fills the trail rated spot now and makes me smile.

How did you remove the residue from the Jeep badge? I got the black backing off but the leftover clear-ish residue is on another level. Goo Gone didn’t make a dent in it.
I used Turtle Wax sticker and adhesive remover. I got it at Walmart and it works really well. Tho I think WD40 might work because that's what the turtle wax stuff smelt like:giggle:

For those that plasti-dipped, i'm assuming you masked and left the badges on the vehicle?
