Such a great idea. I just took one of mine off because it wasn't level and what a royal pain that was! I may do this as well and not put them back on. I'm doing Top of the World next month so I'll probably wait until I have that one.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner. You probably have your answer by now, but if not - go to Jeep.com, click on "Jeep Life" at the top, then click on "Badge of Honor" to learn how the program works. And don't forget to "Check In" when you arrive at the start of the trail or you won't get your badge. Great free program and free badges!
