SnoBall Preparations?

Flashing rear amber are not a good idea, they are very distracting for the following trucks. A solid amber is best for following trucks, flashing is only good for sudden stops (hazzards) or recovery oprerations.

The flashing tends to cause disorientation for most drivers.

I run my Vertex on solid not flashing. Most of the deck mounts can be run on solid as well. Agreed that flashing is not a good idea unless you have to pull off trail or road with a problem.

I am right below the bridge tonight and the lake effect snow is full on white out mode. My rear amber is getting great reviews from friends. The back of the truck has so much snow on it the tailgate is now flush with the rear bumper.

One thing I did last year was to clear off the tail lights at each stop. It is surprising how fast they get covered up.

Dose the third brak light do anything?

 

[WRCRaptor]

Yes the third brake light is also good as sometimes it is all you can see if the taillights get partially covered up. It tends to stay fairly clear.

Bicycle light + double sided tape

 

[skee]

Anyone considered using or used the cheap magnetic battery operated led hazard lights for rear facing ambers?

Would they survive the weekend for those of us who don't have time and/or a desire to wire up a permanent solution?

 

[sabumaru]

How about velcro??
Think that would be better option
Altough thatwould sticker marks

I'm working on something for the inside of the cab using amber Cyclones from KCHilites.
More to come.
