I have a JT Overland with no lift and 33" tires, going to put skid plates and rock rails, I do not have the $$ for lift yet, as it gets really $$$$$ here in Canada. Anyone know the capability of the JT to do some of the Badge of Honour trails without lifts or >33" tires?? I do not want to wait to do anything until I get a lift or huge tires. My JT is my daily driver.

It's a Jeep - your fine just don't push it and watch those side balloon jugs (side steps). I have done many harder trails down in Southern California. I am not sure how the difficulty is when compared to Canada.

I want to do some of the US trails that are on the badge of honour trials....but just found out that I wont get the badge because I'm not merican, I guess FCA US does not play well with FCA Canada, or vice versa...... :mad: :punch:

Thanks for the info- I didn't know about that app.
Unfortunate for you about the "badges", however, I never really did any trails to collect badges v others. It's more for skill-building and commodore.
I can see it's a great marketing idea.
I will, however, check out the app so that I can find cool trails in the US. Let me know if you find your way down south.

Does FCA CA have any badge of honor trails?
if you are talking about FCA Canada, no they do not participate in the program....it's a shame, I can't even subscribe to the FCA US program and have the badges shipped to me here in Canada (once I complete one) I would have to get someone to agree to receive and then send them to me. If your not talking about Canada and are talking about California, then I'm not sure ;)

It's absolutely insane! Bureaucratic BS like this is what makes me hate corporate idiots and beancounters. If someone comes to the U.S. and does the trail why wouldn't they get the badge. @JeepCares can you explain this nonsense???

You'll be fine. The one thing you might want to do that you didn't mention was to swap the front springs to Rubicon springs.

I was just as surprised and ticked to hear it as well. How in the hell can they justify that? That’s so wrong all around. If our Canadian brethren come down and complete the trail, why shouldn’t they get the badges just like anyone else?

Also interested to hear what @JeepCares can dig up on this?

The App rates the trail difficulty. Anything 1-3 should be easily accomplished with a stock Gladiator.

I would be happy to send you your badges.
