Dumb question but... how many "Trail Rated" badges should there be on a KJ?

Our 2005 KJ recently came back from the dealer body shop after an accident repair (the driver's side front wing needed replacing) with the circular "Trail Rated" badges missing. I found one in one of the cupholders, and now I'm wondering, was there only ever one to begin with? The only photos I have of my KJ show it from the driver's side, where you can see the TR badge sitting underneath the side indicator (turn signal), and I can't remember if there was ever one on the passenger side front wing.

It's a small thing but details are important :)

1 on the driver's side. The antenna mount on the passenger side prevents having a badge on that side.

So there always *was* only one, and the body shop didn't just lose one of a pair. Thanks guys :)

I thought there was supposed to be a trail rated badge on the back?
Nope, just Jeep w/4x4 on the left and 3.7/CRD w/Limited/Renegade/Rocky Mountain/65th Anniversary/Latitude/or nothing if it's Sport on the right

Any 04 or later KJ or KK 4x4 should have Trail Rated badge.

Correction: Any KK or '04-'07 KJ 4x4, built after October (something), 2003 should have the Trail Rated badge. I believe the actual date is October 16th - ish.

It wasn't a model year change, some '04s don't have it. Mine had a badge, but a heck of a lot of '04s don't. MOST do though.... and if you have an '04 with no badge, and get it repaired at a body shop, they'll probably stick one on there.

Are you saying that you have an extra one, unused?

How much do you want for it? Do you have PayPal? :)

Do you really want a "Trail Rated" Badge?

You can have mine if you want!

I'll peel it off real careful and then mail it to you if you'd like Marlon.
All you will need to do is glue it onto your Jeep!

Let me know Eh?

I'm in the process of de-badging our KJ.

In response to the OP, I think there shouldn't be any on the jeeps. Kind of lame thing to badge IMO. I'll be taking mine off soon too when I get motivated.

I'd like to order two more 4x4 badges for the sides. I like that better.
