Toyota Badge of Honor Trails - Part I

Backstory

I'm creating an unofficial Toyota Trail List - and I want your help!

If you're not familiar, Chrysler/Jeep publishes an official list of trails called the Jeep Badge of Honor Trails, and sends Jeep owners a unique badge for each trail they complete from the list. Unfortunately for us Toyota owners, no such program exists for us (Jeep won't even send you the badge if you don't have a Jeep!). I started this discussion over on Reddit in r/4Runner, and folks brought up the point that this should involve all Toyota Off-Roader's so here I am reaching out to you guys as well!

This should be a lot of fun, can't wait to pass some of you folks on the road and see one of these badges on your back window!

Expectations

I will be leading this drive towards the creation of this list (hopefully with all your help!) and will be posting a series of threads and community polls for each aspect. Along the way we'll come up with a set of guidelines for what kinds of trails should be on the list, we'll field everyone's suggestions for trails that should make the list, develop graphics for each trail badge, and ultimately figure out the best place/way to post and maintain the list for general consumption by the Toyota Off-Road community.

To Do List

1. Name the Toyota Trail List - Let's start here - please respond to this thread with your thoughts on a name for this trail list. Let's come up with something original and a little more compelling than "Toyota Trail List". Maybe start with something we all love about our Toyotas? Any and all suggestions welcome!
   
   
2. Develop Trail Criteria
   
   
3. Field Trail Submissions
   
   
4. Vote on Trails
   
   
5. Develop Badge Graphics
   
   
6. Publish Official List
   

Thanks for all your participation everyone, will be cool to be a part of creating this list for posterity. If you have any thoughts to share on this please feel free to post those as well along with your suggestion for a list name

What are your thoughts on "Toyota Trail Tag"?

 

Meh. Good luck though.

 

Also kind of meh.

Even when I had jeeps I wasn’t big on the badge thing. Especially with all those who bragged about spoofing their GPS to get them, or just bought them off eBay.
I know someone at one time (cruiser gear maybe?) made a few trail patches. I’d be more interested in putting something on my headliner as a reminder to myself where I’ve been, or conversation starter for passengers.

And of course it will be seen as just copying Jeep; in fact, Jeep might see it that was too. They have a history of being a bit litigious.

 

Thanks for the feedback! Conversation starters is definitely one of the goals, as is adding some sort of universal connection specific to the Toyota Off-Road community. That and it's just a fun way to challenge ourselves and our vehicles. The final product will definitely include creating a vector file for the graphics - I had thought to create a CNC'd exterior badge, but that same file could certainly be used to create a patch for headliners

 

Where are you with this? I've had the same thought.

 

Nowhere in 16 months is where this has gone. Haha

 

Badge Of Honor is probably a quick way to get sued.

I would call it "Toyota Trail Cred" Badge.

 

And you can have the copyright. I wont sue later
