Is this badge crooked, or is one of my legs shorter than the other?

I have noticed this on the Jeep badging on the passenger side fender as well. Should I ask about it during my next service visit? I feel silly for even asking, but now that I’ve noticed it, I can’t un-see it ?

Looks crooked to me in the picture.
I refuse to go look at mine now because I don’t want to know! My ocd can’t handle the truth.

Trust me, I wish I could go back in time and never look ? It led me to start looking at the others, and now my eye starts twitching whenever I get near the truck...

It appears crooked in the picture. My original was straight and one I replaced it with is also straight. It'd drive me crazy knowing it was crooked and taking it out in public lol. THE SHAME!

The earth is not flat so it's the curvature of the earth that makes it look crooked. :CWL: :LOL::CWL:

I wonder if you could take a heat gun to it to soften the adhesive just enough to be able to twist it a little. That's what I would try on my own JT if I noticed mine were crooked.

It’s crooked, but I think it is a pretty safe bet if you have the dealership fix it when you get it back whatever they do to “fix” it will be much worse than it being crooked. I would envision them prying it off with a big screwdriver and gouging all the paint around it or something similar

It's just prepositioned for when you install the heavier front bumper, winch and other mods to the front
according to the hypergeometric distribution theory, if you’ll run tires that are .7346 inches taller on the rear axle you’ll never notice it.
