I was a little bit inspired by AEV's original Hemi for this project:

The Jeep has just been given the Highline Fender Treatmen and as part of that process we smoothed out the sides (filled one of the seams) and repainted the whole vehicle.
That means time for new stickers... but I wanted to do something a little different.

It's the Jeep badge from the tailgate of the WK. I don't know what one was used on the AEV Hemi TJ but the WK badge is a better fit.
Part Number: 1-55157089AC
It fits damn-near perfectly - it's just a fraction too wide and I fixed that by applying each letter one-by-one, bringing them a couple milimeters closer together.
Anyway - it looks a lot classier than the sticker :)
Now I've gotta check out the old Cherokees and see if there's any 4.0 badging - otherwise I'll have no choice but to do the 4.7 stroker or the 5.7 swap
I'm also quite keen on the "Overland" emblem once I upgrade the seats and steering wheel... lets face it the Jeep is already a long way from a Sport trim now :D
