Is a Willys decal wrong

[kjCherokee]

Is it wrong to put a Willys decal on my Liberty? I put them on my hood because I inherited the jeep from my grandpa who’s name was William and I thought it was a cool reminder but now thanks to the jeep reddit I kinda feel bad about “fake badges”.

Did I do something wrong? I didn’t feel like I had because Willys wasn’t a sub model for libertys. But now I’m not so sure. :/


All this just because I asked for advice on my 18” wheel swap on there.

Keep it simple...Your Jeep, your money, your choice!!!

While I personally prefer a completely de-badged look on my vehicles, I think that Willys emblem looks GREAT on your newly painted yellow truck.

Furthermore, I think its REALLY cool that you feel like honoring your grandpa in such a unique way!!!

F*** the naysayers!!!

^ That is my feeling as well. Keep in mind that 99% of the Wrangler drivers out there probably have no idea what it means. (And Willys never made any Wranglers, for that matter.)

Psssh … your motivation trumps all logical debate on the question.

If you really cared what others think you wouldn't be proud to drive a liberty, just like the rest of us.

Thank you guys, I feel a lot better about this whole thing.

And the Willys played a large part in preserving our Liberty .

It's no more a Willys than the Mahindras that had the name (word?) pressed into body panels, whatever it is that Jeep (by any other name) have decided to attach the name to (because history/heritage/pedigree/nostalgia sells!) or, for that matter, my XJ that carries Willys Service Dept signs on the front doors (courtesy of a PO) - so what?

You should see my wife's renegade, it's dripping in Jeep nostalgia! Or easter eggs as they call them.
As for the Liberty, I like your stickers and it's yours so do what you want.
