New Badge from Moab and a Squatch!

Seeing those new badges on my Gladiator always brings a smile to my face! Earning the Jeep Badge of Honor for 'Fins & Things' in Moab, UT, was an incredible experience. If you're new to the Jeep community, you might be wondering about these cool badges. Let me share a bit about them! The Jeep Badge of Honor program is fantastic for off-road enthusiasts. It’s basically a way to commemorate your achievements on iconic trails. You download the app, check into designated trails, and once you complete them, Jeep sends you a physical badge for your vehicle. It’s such a rewarding feeling to add another one to the collection! Besides Moab's 'Fins & Things', I've also tackled trails like 'CEDAR TREE #13' and 'FIREBREAK 5 #14' in Tillamook, OR, which are challenging and just as rewarding. These aren't just stickers; they're a testament to your adventures and skill on the trails. Beyond the official badges, personalizing your Jeep is a huge part of the fun. That's where my unique Bigfoot 'Squatch' emblem comes in! I love how it adds a touch of my own personality and sense of adventure to my rig. You can find all sorts of custom decals and 3D emblems online or at off-road expos. Mine shows a 'Squatch' with a backpack and walking stick, perfectly representing the spirit of exploration. It's a great way to make your vehicle truly yours, whether it's a subtle decal or a bold custom piece. When it comes to displaying these badges, placement is key. I like to keep mine together, creating a visual story of my off-roading journey. Make sure the surface is clean before applying, and take your time for a perfect fit. And don't forget to maintain them! A quick wash with your regular car soap usually does the trick to keep them shiny and vibrant. While the 'DESERT RATED 4x4' badge is standard, these earned and custom ones tell a much deeper, personal story. Collecting Jeep badges really connects you to a wider community of adventurers. Every badge tells a story, sparks conversations, and reminds you of the amazing places your Jeep has taken you. It’s more than just decor; it’s a living scrapbook of your off-road life. So, if you're thinking about starting your own badge collection or adding a custom touch to your Jeep, I highly recommend it!
