Added some auxiliary reverse lights and upgraded my stock reverse light wiring to 12 guage. It's all hooked up to a 3 way switch, with the switch off only my regular reverse lights come on, in the middle position both regular and auxiliary lights, and in the top position both regular and auxiliary come on without being in reverse.
The lights I had before. They are projector leds bulbs that I installed right after i got my jeep. They would be okay in a clear lense, but are terrible for fluted lenses. Overall I think they are a waste of money.
After the upgrade with regular bulbs
And the auxiliary leds. I'll eventually move them to the roof when I build a rack
I chose this spot for the switch so I can turn it on without turning around or looking

No, I don't lick fish.
Nice! I've been needing to do something for my reverse lights. Haven't quite figured out what to use. Those will definitely work. THanks for the link.

I've been needing a better and safer way to haul my amp around. I had been just putting it on my back seat so I can make sure it doesn't fall over, but that gets old fast when you have a perfectly good trunk to use but no good way to strap it in.
My solution was to make a bar to go across the back seat.
Since I moved my rear seat brackets forward for my spare, it left the back 2 screw holes unused. This was a perfect place to work off of.
I began by making the mounts for the bar
I wanted the it to be easily removable so I used threaded bar and wing nuts to hold it on
Used these to hook the bungee strap on
Covered the bar and bungee strap in some piping foam to protect the amp
And done!
Eventually I will add a bottom bar with fence or something in between so I can use it for a lot more.

Oh THAT kind of amplifier. Maybe I read it wrong, but I thought you were talking about a subwoofer amplifier. I thought, man that's kind of a hokey place to mount an amp! Now it makes sense and it's a very good idea! I don't have my gear anymore or I'd implement something like that... although my bass cab was a little too large to worry about it going anywhere.
