Guys, why the heck does everyone remove their Bronco model trim emblems? Does no one like them?

I got a Base and didn't have to remove it, but not into emblems. I removed the dealer emblem first day, thank goodness it peeled off easily.

I always remove the dealer name from every vehicle I buy. They are not paying me to advertise for them.

Dare I say that my dealer's sticker almost looks better than the BD sticker. I only say almost though, because I like the BD sticker graphic, but think a molded badge would have been a better approach.

Every vehicle I’ve ever owned got debadged to some degree . At first, because it’s easier to wax, but now more fun to have folks ask “what is that?”

This thread got me to thinking: I found myself looking at other Broncos, taking note of what trim level they were. So at least some of them are looking at mine, right?

So I decided to take mine off. It shouldn't matter which trim I got--it's my decision based on my desires, my affordability and the truck's availability. Same with all you other Bronco owners.

I do like the new scripts available at bronconation, but if I splurge on one, it will the simple "Bronco" only--not Bronco + model.

Rmd garage has a nice badge with their custom fenders. It calls out the trim levels and uses the Bronco grille font. I just don't recall who currently is selling it.

Bronco Nation is selling something similar.

The horse on the rear door can be removed leaving no holes nor indents, correct?

Yup.

Yup.

With no horsey badge and that third brake light in your spare tire, I hope you enjoy hearing "nice Jeep, bro."

Me too! I got the metal chrome originals from Bronco graveyard and added those. To me it completes the retro look and why I like the bronco in the first place
2nd leftover went inside of tailgate

That’s what I did with mine- same location

I don’t think it matters in a negative way, to me, it’s more an educational, curiosity thing. Sometimes a specific bronco or whatever vehicle looks particularly good and I want to know what sets it apart. Hmmm… it’s an outer banks, but ohhh yeah, look at that suspension and tire upgrade…. Nice. The whole “it shouldn’t matter, it’s mine” thought process is missing the point. It’s not about you or judging you. It’s about the person looking at it.

My biggest gripe with the emblem is it's just a sticker vs. an actual badge/emblem. I'm sure color match is a concern for some as well. I peeled mine off and stuck one inside the tail gate.

This If they were actual quality badges, more people would keep them on their rigs.

Hey, some pavement users are essentially paying 7k for that Sas sticker!

Probably most of the SAS rigs never see dirt, at least not the sort of dirt or rocks that require a fully capable Bronco.

Do you understand the shame associated with the Outer Banks? That mall crawling stigma hurts!

No, please advise

We picked ours up yesterday and didn’t realize the OBX sticker has the sas on it. We will move it somewhere, but the script goes more with what we are going with old school look.

I never thought until this thread about people being concerned with “oh you have a higher or lower trim than me.” If you feel that way you are a huge tool. IDGAF what trim level you have, or if you look down on me, we are 1 family and I’ll still wave at you no matter what trim you have.

 

[Toccoa]

Yup.

Made it into what it was designed as, a refrigerator magnet. Made another one for the tool box.
