I had a couple of those type of badges, too -- got a little too intimate with a
couple of trees. Bent both bumpers and the left-front fender flare. I've
replaced them, though, so no more badges 'til next time. <G>

I have a 01 TJ without the "Trail Rated Badge". I guess this is why I'm
spending big bucks to make it off road worthy. Gee, if only they had that
badge. Stupid? YES!
