Default Trail Rated Emblem?

Hello all, kinda new to da whole Jeep experience sooooo forgive me if my question is a dumb one.....ok here goes.....

I have a brand new 4dr Jeep Wrangler Sport without 4 wheel drive. I've noticed pictures here of Jeeps with the "trail rated" emblem on the side........when I got mine I "did not" have this emblem......is it just for the Jeeps with 4 wheel drive?

It costs about $12. Hit the local dealer.

Do your research, having TRAIL-RATED® CERTIFICATION on your JK means Jeep has upgraded several components on the basic chassis. Which includes 4-wheel drive. Putting a "Trail-Rated" emblem on your 2wd would be like putting a "Spyder" emblem on a vehicle with a hard-top... imo.
