Not So Reflective

[Pookapotamus]

so recently I noticed that with the ORO light dots in the rear of Mort that the only thing to reflect back there it the licence plate, not sure if that is exactly legal or not. Does not really matter, I would rather be noticed then have some schmuck in a civic rear end me, so I have decided to add some reflectors.

I went to the parts store and picked up some reflective tape in red and amber. Then I got to thinking I don't just want to stick reflective squares on Mort, how about cutting a jeep logo out of the tape or even an XJ profile, perhaps a grill profile.

What do you gentlemen think?? any ideas???

I think doing a grill profile in reflective would look awesome.. and def catch people's attention for sure... and still have the coolness factor at the same time..

Go for it Dana. be as creative as you can be. The Jeep logo sounds cool. Could do it in LEDs too

I like the grille idea the most. Otherwise I usually just try to cut it to fit in with the lines whatever that may be.

On our work trucks I made some red and white pieces in bowties from tape.

And all done, they are not perfect but get the point across!

Now what can be done about the dim front signals???

[4.3LXJ]

LEDs make them brighter. What bulb do you have in them?

Is the signal operating the short fat element or the long skinny one?

It confuses me how people can see a BIG LIFT BRIGHT YELLOW (or red) Jeep. :crazy:
