FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Badges? We need stinkin' badges!

this is just a thread to gauge your general interest in a NorCal FJ badge if they ran about $65.00/each. i have a couple vendors in mind that seem to do a quality job (e.g. not premature aging or paint stripping) and that is the route we will take.

the style will be the original red logo (seen at the top of this page) with a gear ring encircling it. the size will be similar to the cool Trail Teams badge.

if you are interested, please post up here. by expressing interest, you are in no way committed to purchasing one. we will revisit the list once i receive final pricing, etc. and you can decide then.

El Bratron will allow you to show him your badges.

Maybe someday he will show you his stinking badges.

I wasn't going to post this but with a few failed attempts to get an answer via private messages I will say it here. I have found a vender that can make 50 (or more) billet aluminum anodized and engraved badges for $35.00 each with a 4 week turn around. Some may have already seen their work in the Ouray, Co. FJ Summit badge, Northwest FJ Cruisers Club badge and a few others. The only draw back I can see is they can't be colored like the enameled ones that some prefer. I have had two TLCA enamel badges fail on me so I am now staying away from them.

We need 50 dedicated members buying these before we can get them made AND the Club President's OKAY!!!!

Tater - what do you think? Maybe a second club badge option??

I have a few of Joel's badges and they are nice. we're looking into the Trail Teams style badge first and my consider a second later on. obviously, bulk gets us better rates, so having multiple choices early on will only decrease quantity orders on each.
