After 3500 miles I love my Rubicon. This morning my wife pointed out I don't have the Trail Rated Badge. I have thought of it a few times but when I was around the Jeep I never noticed. I figured maybe it didn't come on the Rubicon because the name says enough. However some of the brochures I looked at this morning show one on the side. What gives? Was it an option on the day mine was built?

It should have one

I didn't have one on mine (May build date) -- I'm actually happy not to have one. It doesn't mean much.

if you don't have a trail rated badge you know this means you cannot go offroading

Badge? We don't need no stinking badge!

do you really need a badge that says "Trail Rated"? Get out and hit the trails, mud, rocks, etc. get some pics and trail rate it yourself!!!

You got the only 2WD Unlimited Rubicon ever made, you should be proud.

Jeep says "We test Jeep® 4x4s on the toughest trails in the world to prove one thing: They can take whatever you dish out. The Trail Rated® badge means that your Jeep 4x4 has been designed to perform in five categories of off-road conditions: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording."

Well, I personally don't care much about the badge, but Jeep did a good marketing job for it. So, I'm surprised that they forgot to put the "Trail Rated" badge. Many non-Jeep drivers mention about the badge when they look (inspect?) my JK at gas station, parking lot etc. They seem to like it. One guy on a pick-up said, "Hey, mine is 4x4 too! I need that "Trail Rated" badge. Where can I get it?"
