The Jeep Badge of Honor program currently features over 70 trails across the United States. They range from scenic, easy dirt roads to some of the most punishing rock-crawling obstacles in the world.

Trail Difficulty & Recommended Modifications

Jeep rates these trails on a 1–10 scale. When outfitting a 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited for this program, the four-door’s longer 116-inch wheelbase offers incredible stability on steep inclines, but it requires a bit more clearance to protect the belly on sharp breakovers.

• Levels 1–3 (Easy): Mostly dirt, gravel, and mild ruts. Stock vehicles can handle these with ease. A basic recovery strap and a first aid kit are sufficient.

​

• Levels 4–5 (Moderate): Expect deeper ruts, mud, and small rocks. All-terrain tires (33-inch) and a mild 2-inch lift are helpful. Disconnecting the sway bars will greatly improve ride quality.

​

• Levels 6–7 (Demanding): Significant rock steps, ledges, and deep mud. For a JK Unlimited, a 2.5 to 3.5-inch lift kit paired with 35-inch mud-terrain tires is highly encouraged to clear the breakover angles. Rock sliders and underbody skid plates are mandatory to protect the drivetrain.

​

• Levels 8–10 (Very Challenging to Extreme): Severe rock crawling, off-camber obstacles, and risk of body damage. Minimum requirements include 37-inch tires, locking differentials, and a winch. If running higher horsepower—such as an LS swap—upgraded axles (like Dana 60s) and chromoly axle shafts are highly recommended to prevent snapping under heavy torque binds.

Trail Amenities

 

Amenities vary drastically depending on the land designation:

• OHV / ORV Parks (e.g., Hidden Falls, Gulches, Holly Oaks): These usually charge an entry fee and offer established amenities like restrooms, air-up stations, RV hookups, primitive campsites, and sometimes food vendors or parts shops.

​

• National Forests / BLM Land (e.g., Moab, Colorado passes): These are backcountry trails. Amenities are generally zero. You must pack in all food and water, bring your own recovery gear, carry a portable air compressor for inflating tires, and be prepared to pack out all trash.
