NCSU-- Those are freaking awesome. Didn't they also come in a black background? Wither way, I like them a lot.

I don't know where to get lobo badges, never been in the market, but I know that you can...I've seen them on the road a few times. I'll see what I can dredge up...

Thanks man, I had them custom made by Steve at www.billetbadges.com

I used a CAD program to create everything, then sent that over to Steve and his machinist knocked them out for me. I could have opted to change the color scheme and started with a black chrome base, but I think it would have been too dark. Check my picture gallery to see what those would have looked like..

Does anyone know where to get the LOBO Badges? I work at a ford dealership and I asked our parts manager and he said he cant even order them.

So like JDM was the hot S*** item on the Honda's, 2001-2003 ish, so is this the thing for '07, MDM? Yes, NCSU, those badges are sweet. I may have to put my mad CAD skills together and make up something for my '95 now that I know of a website.

In Iraq I saw a Ford Ranger Crew cab (four full doors) Diesel engine and 4x4! I looked all over for one here in the states but for some reason they dont sell them? I don't know why maybe emissions or safety reasons but I think they would sell like hotcakes here! I looked on the ford website and you can go to the mexico ford site and see it there.

Here though if you're buying a deisel, you are more than likely pulling a big load, unless you have on of the VDub deisels or one of the old Mercedes, back in the day though, the Chevy LUV's and Chevettes had deisel options, but due to such flopped enthusiasm with a small deisel, and crappy 70's and 80's engineering those never really took off like they expected (the 350 Deisel, and the botched attempts with the 6.2 and 6.5, probably had a lot of influence on them). If you look over seas most vehicles have a deisel option. It wouldn't be an emissions issue, Euro Emissions are stricter than California's, seems impossible but they are. I work with a guy that used to work at a Dodge dealership, we have heated debates sometimes, and they had a guy that came in to get his Viper redone so he could take it with him when he moved over seas, mostly exhaust work, but it cost him $8000 just for the parts to convert it to Euro Spec.

In the early 90's I was in the Caribbean and saw Toyota 4 door pickups everywhere and remember thinking the same thing. Man, those would sell like hotcakes in the States.

It took nearly a decade and now every manufacturer is churning them out here in all sizes.
I'm a genius in my own mind.
