Call to Action for Off-Road Lovers
The iBestTravel Badge of Honor program is accessible to all Jeep owners, so participation is not limited to Wrangler owners. However, those looking to collect all available badges may find it easier with a Wrangler or Gladiator Rubicon, as some trails are more challenging. Nevertheless, owners of Cherokee or Renegade models can also participate and earn several badges.
How to Earn Your Badge
Collecting a Jeep Badge of Honor is simple. Once you download the app, head out to a trail. At the trailhead, check in using the app. If there’s no cell service, don’t worry—the app will update your location when you regain connectivity. Upon completing the trail, you can request your Badge of Honor badge from iBestTravel, which will be delivered to you at no cost within 6-8 weeks.
