In fitting with the Bronco theme, call it The Earn Your Spurs Program. Spur shaped badges. You could also tie in the ski trail ratings for each trail - green circle, blue square, black diamond.

This is what can happen on Black Bear Pass, and does much too often.

You don't have to take the XJ, take the Bronco, log in on the app put in the VIN for the Jeep and they will mail it to you. Program is free, badges are free, just need a Jeep VIN

Not going to watch that if folks got hurt. Nice opening scroll though to make sure that folks know.
Being in Vermont the only one that's close is in New Hampshire - can't wait to get on it!! Most of my driving will admittedly be on asphalt and the occasional dirt road or logging trail . . . but I will seek out something a little more aggressive to take advantage of the (4 door) Wildtrak!! THANK YOU for the list!
I’ve never actually heard of the badge of honor program till today. I’ve personally done all the trails listed for Colorado except holy cross. Black Bear I did in a stock Scrambler and all the others I did in a stock 1992 Toyota pickup. A non - squatch Bronco won’t have any issues with the Colorado trails.

Black Bear is challenging for any 4 wheeled vehicle. My point was a Rubicon tracks at around 63", Bronco (base) is 65". Bronco's 4dr wheelbase is actually 2" shorter (116 vs 118).
Those H1's run almost 72" X 130".
Yes, BB Pass will be challenging. But, I don't see the Bronco's size exponentially increasing that challenge over any of the jeeps on the trail.
But yes, a vid of it would be interesting to see!

I have seen many drivers get into trouble due to over estimating either their or the vehicles ability to navigate difficult terrain. Black Bear Pass is the equivalent of a Black Diamond ski trail, and should only be attempted by advanced drivers, with a modified truck and spotters.
In all honesty, I’m not a fan of the “Earn Your Spurs” because I have earned my spurs as well as my Cavalry hat. In the Army, there are those of us who’ve earned these items and you can only earn them while stationed in a Cavalry unit. Once earned, we are then authorized to wear them in our formal uniform no matter what unit we are in afterwards. It’s the equivalent to military awards and carries much prestige within the Army.
I was not aware that was the origin of that phrase. I knew earn your stripes had military ties. Not trying to infringe on that. Thanks for letting me know. Thanks for your service.
