Vehicle ID

[ce4460]

It may have been done before, and/or suggested by someone else, but I first read the suggestion in a forum by Northern_XS. My member number is attached in reflective numbers on the front windshield (as shown) and in black letters on the rear tailgate. The intention is to make radio communication a bit more efficient during hardball convoy or trail. What do you think?

That's cool, I will not go as big but will be easily visible. Cool idea thanks!!!!!

Where did you get that?

 

[Mad Garden Gnome]

Had it made. With Michael's blessing. It's a prototype. I got the color wrong. I am eventually going to order more with the gold background.

Very cool

I dig that,it's less fleet/security guard looking

One issue is the member ID will realistically only be readable within a few car lengths. You can identify the vehicle in front and behind (with a spotter), but beyond that it will be pretty difficult to see.

I think vegasjeepguy is right, even though I've put 3" numbers on the front windshield and 2" letters and numbers (OB-1023), they'd be difficult to see from more than a few car lengths (think of license plates). While use on the highway would be restricted to those nearest, I think their best use is for spotting and camp or campsite ID. Just a thought.

Probably not practical for the purposes you state, but the minute I collect a bit of trail dust I start writing OB#0912 all over my truck...

That's me all over, "Impractical ."

Besides, ask anyone who's ridden in a convoy with me. You'll know my truck by sight within 10 minutes of meeting me [emoji6][emoji6][emoji6]

@maktruk is easy to spot on the trail.

 

[ce4460]

OK...No ID needed for the infamous maktruk.

My wife suggested using wax markers, or something like that, similar to window markings "Class Of" or "Just Married"

I know it's not OB traditional colors but putting the numbers in neon green ,neon orange, neon yellow or any neon color you prefer with reflective backing so that they reflect off headlights and other spotlights might be a good idea also and more eye-catching going down the road! Also placing it very high on the rig!http://www.dontgethit.com/reflective-address-numbers.html just as an example!
