Jeep Gifts for Him and Her

Give the Jeep its name in metal

Almost every Wrangler and Gladiator has a name. It might be the trail name, the color based nickname, the joke that stuck after the first recovery strap moment, or something a kid in the back seat came up with. Right now that name lives in conversation and on a windshield sticker. A custom badge makes it permanent, dimensional and factory looking.

Where it goes. The Wrangler has clean fender panels that were practically designed for a name badge, plus flat hood sides and a tailgate below the spare tire carrier. The Gladiator adds a wide tailgate and long bedsides, which gives you room for a longer phrase or a bigger badge. Both look best with a single badge placed where a factory trim emblem would sit.

Finishes for the build. Matte black is the default for blacked out builds and looks correct next to black hardware, black wheels and a black hardtop. Mirror chrome pops hard against red, yellow, green and blue paint, which Jeep sells more of than almost any other brand. Gold is the choice for a build that wants to look expensive. Wrapped Jeep? Acrylic badge colors match common vinyl shades.

Trail ready install. The 3M automotive adhesive backing holds through mud, wash cycles, snow and highway speed, and it does not require drilling into a body panel. Peel, position, press, done in about 90 seconds. If they trade Jeeps often, the badge removes cleanly later with heat and adhesive remover.

Order timing. Production takes 3-5 business days and transit is additional, so give yourself roughly two weeks of buffer before the birthday, anniversary or holiday you are shopping for.
