Mb willys jeep safety

[Ian Fawbert]

Hi Tony,

Another suggestion, which I and a few others here in sydney (Home of idiot drivers!) have done has been to buy one of the LED red flashing lights bike riders use. The one with 4 or 5 flashing/fixed functions, is about 4 inches long and bolts by a hose clamp type set up to a piece of pipe on the bike- conveniently the best piece of pipe to use on the jeep is one of the rear grab handles!

This works very well and can be seen from along distance. As i tend to do alot of country driving for long distances at times of the year in the jeep, including travelling at dawn and dusk on both highway and fast country roads, i have found this to be a great safety measure (plus it fits very easily in the glove or tool box when not in use!). I think they are about $15>$20 each.

One step further, a mate has put the white version of it (bike riders headlight type thing) on to the tie rod arm on the front of the jeep- as a measure to make the front of the vehicle stand out if worried about your headlights brightness or in addition to it.

Cheers,
Ian.
