For two badges, it will cost me 23 bucks....
Well, that's pretty good to me unless shipping cost $27. haha!!!
I'm in NJ so I'm not far. I actually bought the ones they sell at Rausch Creek but turns out they don't handle the weather well. They are not coated.
I also noticed there are multiple versions of the Jeep badges. Which ones are that price. I see there are different colors and styles.

Is the hard pewter badges that actually come on the new grand cherokees and Wranglers. no decals or stickers.

I may go a different route though, it seems the "overland" badge is actually a little cheaper.... hmmmmmm... wouldn't that just confuse the crap out of people! LMAO

and as for the shipping, like I said, it depends on "what" it is. These, yeah, would be cheaper, but a drive shaft? lol.... maybe not, know what I mean? depending on the part, some have little to no markup.... so my price is not much different then anyone elses...lol....

It's not quite the same location you're thinking for your Jeep, but I played around trying to see where I liked them best and decided here (I have one on both sides, and debating on a 3rd for the hatch):




A friend of mine is a body man and grabbed them for me off a wrecked Jeep.

I thought about black as well, but truthfully, I like the contrast of the grey two tone... I think the only DISadvantage to these wheels is the tip of each leg of the 5 point star actually stick out from the side of the rim, and have gotten caught on rocks. If you look close at that picture, you can see the marks...

That's the point bro, all the ones that jeep puts trail rated stickers on would never stand a chance on the trails. lol, kind of a joke man.

Whats interesting, is I have personally seen several of the new jeeps as "trail rated" conquer some serious stuff fully stock. The new Grand Cherokee is unstoppable, and last weekend, I wheeled with a newer Commander, and it held its own and kept up with me. Now they do not flex like mine, but they can still conquer it....
