TDR Grille Badge is back

[DavidC]

I see Geno's is offering the grille badge again. Way back when they were velcro mounted and I do not know if this is the same. Back then members were complaining of it falling off and losing it. I was working at Ben and Jerry's at the time and borrowed a few parts to assure mine stayed put. I found a 1" wide by 3" long stainless flat plate and 2 6/32 stainless machine screws, drilled 2 holes and tapped on each side of the outer band. It has been in place for 20 years so if you get one this may keep you from losing it.

I got this bolt on one in 2015.

I drilled a VERY small hole, put a VERY small bolt and not through my grill guard with a stamped washer on the back. Never lost it but the color fell out of it and was pretty much bare metal after 13 years of bugs, gravel, and weather on my 02 Ram 3500 4x4.

I need on for my 2017

Cheers, Ron

Dave,
Yep, except it was grizzled looking.... kinda like the Mad Max Version.

EDIT: Just ordered mine! And the 25th anniversary Ram/Cummins badges.

Cheers, Ron

Does a 2017 qualify to wear that ribbon?

no, those are for 2019s. Workshop side of man cave has spot for one on roll around tool box... not sure about other two.

Hey Y'all,

Ever been asleep with your eyes wide open?
I have this splitting headache, so when I ordered 25th anniversary badges, I was thinking of 2019, which was ACTUALLY 30 year anniversary. Its ok, one goes on toolbox, one goes on zero turn mower, and maybe one on tailgate of my Kawasaki Mule.

No more purchases with bad headaches.

Cheers, Ron

 

[Wiredawg]

Well,

my tdr badge arrived today and proudly mounted.

Cheers, Ron

 

[DavidC]

Ron, how do the new one's mount ?

 

[Wiredawg]

They have about a 2 to 3 inch bolt mounted to back of badge, long enough to mount through the OEM grill with about a 3 inch washer and nut to hold it. Really nice!.

Cheers, Ron

This is my former truck... tell me this ain't bad to the bone.

Sweet!

[DavidC]

That looks pretty well used. My 20 year old one looks new compared to that.

I fixed your location for you. Like a military ribbon, it must be worn correctly on the up left breast. Snoking
