Cool. I'm a little more confident about doing this now. I mean on two different occasions I drilled into a $1000 painted Harley tour paks to install luggage racks. That was a measure 15 times, drill once. How bad could this be. LOL

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls... What you see here is a genuine "Damn, why didn't Jeep do this?" moment!

After hounding several companies for months on end trying to get a two layer/dual color “Gladiator” badge for the tailgate, I finally got one made! I couldn’t be more happy with the end result. I wanted a red/dark grey color scheme that matched the stock Jeep rubicon lettering and think I nailed it. I thought other kits (i.e. Hauk Offroad) were too small, so I wanted mine bigger. We went back and forth for a week working out the proper size for the outer letters (G-R) and all the inside lettering, spacing between the letters, and even several mock up printouts to confirm what variant and placement fit best and looked the most "stock".

The lettering is made from acrylic, and is laser cut with 3M adhesive for the backing. MADE here in the good ol' USA! I did have to make my own stencil kit, but that wasn't hard, just time consuming. I had the shop print out a spacer at the specified size so that each letter had the proper spacing. I lined up the letters on a piece of thick cardboard, taped them down, then used an X-acto knife to cut around them.

For those that don't want vinyl wrap on the tailgate like I did... The cool part is I worked out the measurements so that the holes from the original Jeep badge are covered by the new badge.

*** Edit: The purchase link is live! There are 3 options for $98 each: Rubicon, Mojave or Black/Red. Any other custom color combo is $118 due to the time involved.

Yep, my lettering is arriving from them tomorrow. Just chatted with them yesterday.

He did say that delivery is taking a couple of days longer as they are covered up at the moment.

Damn that looks sharp against the white!

Daniel is definitely still in business. He has been absolutely swamped since I made this post here and on Facebook. You can email him or even try to text the number that you call. He's not ignoring you he's just mad busy and doing the best he can. I think he does it all on his own.

I wondered if he was a "one man crew" when I chatted and ordered last weekend. I mentioned in one of my emails that you had said really nice things about him on the forum. I'm sure he appreciates it.

He really is. When we talked about what I wanted to do I told him if it worked out I was going to put it on the forums and Facebook and warned him that he was going to be busy making money. He was really excited about the prospect of that but I think he thought I was exaggerating lol. Once it happened he was flooded with work and we chatted several times. I gave him some suggestions for the website that he was eager to listen to and he made the changes. I never even asked him for a cut of sales or a free badge in return for the post and added business. I just liked the guy and liked that I could help out a small US biz!

I will say the thought DID cross my mind to NOT share the info with all of you so I could be the only truck with the badge. But that’s not very Jeep-family-like!

Do these match the black-on-red rubicon fender badges?
