Re: It stops. Fast.
For my TJ I got a package of assorted sizes and shapes of these decals at
Walmart or some place like that for a couple of bucks. I think I took some
of the rectangular decals and wrapped them around the ends of the rear
bumper, that way they were visible from the side and the back.
The marker lights are enexpensive and easy to install. Don't let <$10 get
you in trouble/injured.

Re: It stops. Fast.
I have been pulled over for no license plate light.... Just came out of
a trail onto a gravel road at dark and sure enough along comes a cop.
It gives them an excuse to 'safety' check everything too because it
shows a lack of maintenance or some other such BS.... Only got a
warning/fix it ticket because everything else checked out. :-)

Re: It stops. Fast.
Thats one that concerns me a little, however, I have been running without one since
1999. Never been a problem (yet). I've got an idea of how to deal with it when I
have to, but until then, the plate stays where it is, like it is. I like it there.
I know, if they pull you over and want to, they can and will check for everything. I
would get a heck of a fix-it ticket...license plate light, mud flaps, flares, etc.

1999. Never been a problem (yet). I've got an idea of how to deal with it when I
have to, but until then, the plate stays where it is, like it is. I like it there.
I know, if they pull you over and want to, they can and will check for everything. I
would get a heck of a fix-it ticket...license plate light, mud flaps, flares, etc.

No reason at all. Highly reflective tape might actually be a better
idea, more likely to be recognized.
