Like many, I de-badged the exterior. I think it looks cleaner . I don't need to be reminded of what I drive and those who don't know what it is don't need to.

My "Jeep" letters got knocked off by the last deer that ran over me. I went to AZ and got new letters, "XJ."

My front emblem was missing when I bought my Jeep. I installed a new one and I think it looks better but to each their own.

If you look close or zoom in you can see the skull and cross bones with bullet holes in the skull.

I removed the original letters when I bought it.

I own jeeps almost 20 years apart in age, and the 'jeep' badge in front is almost identical on both. Same font, same size, and in same place. It's kind of iconic to me. Almost like the 'Winchester' script you find on both old and new guns. But in "FREDNOAZZ" truck, it doesn't really matter. That's one great looking jeep no matter what it says in front. Good job Fred.

Those extra 'E's' probably added a pound to your curb weight. Notice any difference in MPG or acceleration? I'm going to save that picture.

I'm thinking each E adds about 1hp. Jeeeeeeep just sounds fast.
