but ya its a really clean, well built setup from wat i see and u posted...now i only need to make a reason for me to build/buy one! haha truthfully the only thing i dont 100% like is the mounting location for the inverter, i would be nervous that something might get spilled on it, etc. but thats just me.And yes, indeed UNIQUE!

Hey if this is wrong area please redirect me. thanks.
Smashed turn signal on a wheeling trip a month back and finally got around to replacing it. Ordered some of the clear ones for change from quadratec but when they got here they were ugly as s***. They were chrome on the edges and completly clear so you can see the bulb clear as day through it. I should have looked closer at the picture! I dont want smoked ones where i got the idea of clear ones was a jeep parked here in town. This jeeps were clear but not see through if that makes sense, they had similar transparancy to the front clear parking/turning lights but not so you can see the bulb like the ones that I got. I have a 96' btw.
Anyone know where to find the ones Im talking about. I looked at ebay but didnt see anything.
here is the one i have and dont want http://www.quadratec.com/products/55208_9009.htm

Nice. If I was you, I'd make some kind of shim to stick between the arm and, um, other arm. It would take a lot of stress off of the hinge if you've got heavy tires.

And kind of a "duh" thing, move your license plate to the driver's side of either your hatch or your bumper.
I can't wait to post my own stuff in here instead of throwing out this common knowledge stuff lol. Soon I'll be making my own sub box and a "splash" plate to keep water and mud away from my alternator.
