When AMC dropped the 401 into a CJ5 or CJ7, they weren't being subtle about it. Neither is this badge. If you're running an AMC 401-powered CJ, this is the one piece of hardware that tells anyone who pops the hood exactly what they're looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- PRODUCT INTRO --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Mad4Metal AMC 401 badge for Jeep CJ5 and CJ7 — machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. The \u003cstrong\u003e401\u003c\/strong\u003e designation is CNC cut directly into the face, then hand-polished to a mirror finish. No decals, no paint fill, no adhesive backing. Just aluminum, a cutting tool, and time on the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:bold; font-style:italic;\"\u003eNot stamped. Not cast. Not a sticker.

Bolt it to the valve cover and it sits there like it came from the factory — which it basically did, just decades later and out of a Coeur d'Alene machine shop instead of Kenosha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- ABOUT THE FINISH --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese badges are polished to a mirror finish, but if you look closely you'll see the machining marks from the CNC cutting process — fine, consistent toolpath lines across the face. Those marks are intentional. They're what separates a real machined billet part from something that was painted, cast in a mold, or made to look like metal. A perfectly mark-free, glassy smooth surface would look like painted plastic. The toolpath lines catch light at different angles depending on where you're standing, and that shifting reflection is the signature of a part that was actually cut on a machine. If you want to bring up the high spots even more, a quick pass with aluminum polish will do it — while keeping the machining character completely intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- WHERE CAN YOU RUN IT --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere Can You Run It?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eValve covers — passenger or driver side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngine fenders \/ inner fender panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHood underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFirewall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDashboard or instrument panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGlove box door\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToolbox lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGarage wall or man cave display\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCar trailer interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- COMPLETE KIT --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Kit — Everything Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none; padding-left:0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Mad4Metal Jeep CJ5 CJ7 AMC 401 Billet Aluminum Badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ 2x 1\/4\"-28 Stainless Steel Pan Head Screws (18-8 SS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ 2x 1\/4\"-28 Nylon Lock Nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- SPECS TABLE --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold; width:45%;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e6061-T6 Aircraft Grade Billet Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePolished — machined surface marks visible (intentional character)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3\/16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eBolt Hole Spacing (center to center)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2-3\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eFastener Thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1\/4\"-28 Fine Thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eFasteners Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2x 18-8 Stainless Pan Head Screws + 2x Nylon Lock Nuts\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e0.9 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eMade In\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eUSA 🇺🇸\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- WHY MACHINED ALUMINUM BEATS EVERYTHING ELSE --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Machined Aluminum Beats Everything Else\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast zinc cracks under vibration. Plastic fades, chalks, and eventually falls apart in the engine bay — especially in a CJ that actually gets used off-road. Stick-on emblems peel, every time, guaranteed with heat cycles. 6061-T6 aluminum doesn't do any of those things. It's light, strong, corrosion-resistant, and doesn't care about mud, heat, or trail dust. When the finish dulls, you polish it back.
