Here is one I thought of- when I was a kid had a go-cart with a red rubber gas cap- that might have been the cleanest thing on it.. Now so goes the jeep!

Good point. I guess you're right. That makes sense. Hmm. Except they are rules as to which direction flag patches should be facing, ie, on uniforms. Are those real flags or images? I think all these rules are cool, and are meant to be signs of respect. I always imagine the founding fathers during around thinking this stuff up: "the flag should be flown the proper way on our great, great grandchildren's jeeps..." LOL

I was looking at making this pull out device (youtube video attached). It's titled Super Wench but look what it's attached to: Trying out the superwinch - YouTube. It looks easy to make, relatively cheap (use rebarb for the stakes) and looks like it would work.

It would plow in soft ground and give you that little extra pull to get out of alot of situations (if you're not buried up to axles).

Not to mention carrying all that around. I bet it makes a racket over every bump.
