TDR grill badges

[Sandmancw]

Where are people placing the TDR grill badge? Are you using the velcro that comes with the badge or something more secure?

Thanks, Sandmancw

Rugged individualist that I am, mine's in the lower left corner of the grille. I used a 1-1/2" (as I recall) brass tapered head 1/4"-20 machine screw with a fender washer that's sized to be almost flush with the tapered screw head of the bolt to bond to the grille badge, and another fender washer, a lockwasher and nut on the backside of the grille to hold it in place.



After roughing up the back of the grille badge with a sanding drum on a Dremel tool, I mixed up some Loctite 2-part epoxy and had a good puddle on the back of the grille badge. I then set the bolt with the fender washer over it in the puddle of epoxy, making sure that the surface of the washer that almost touches the back of the grille badge was covered in epoxy (lots of surface area!) After 24-36 hours of setting up, that sucker ain't a-going nowhere!

Try 3M tape...the double sided type!

It's what I used and even a pressure washer didn't take it off.

I put one on each side of the cab on the B pillars using 3M double sided tape.

3M Tape holds mine square in the middle of the bumper between the vents. No other place to stick it on the front because of the screen grill.

Neat trick

I put mine in the upper driver’s side grill so an approaching driver can easily see it. It fits neatly into the top curve of the grill. I attached it with a ¼/20 X 1&1/2 inch grade 5 bolt with a 1&1/2-inch washer and a plastic insert-locking nut. First I put the bolt in the center of the badge and marked around the head with a scratch awl. Then I made several deep scratches on the badge inside the out line of the bolt head. Then I used the awl to mark up the top of the bolt head. I used two part DEVCON plastic steel epoxy to attach the bolt to the badge. I used enough to cover the bolt head. Once the epoxy set up I pit the bolt through one of the holes in the grill and used the washer and nut to tightly fasten it in place. It won’t be easy to remove but if I have too I can and I can buy a new nut and reuse it on a new truck or grill if need be.

What? I thought the official position was the upper left corner of the grill. dont tell me I have to move mine.

I place mine on the door post for better visibility.

I put mine on the driver-side half in the lower left and used a Crazy Glue type adhesive. Been on now for 2 months, sitting in the sun all day, running in the 102-104 recent ambient temps and still rock solid.

Just put some silicon on the back and put it on where you want it, holds solid and if you ever want to take it off you can without to much problem.
