    Reflective tape on my sliders

    A few pics with the reflective tape on my sliders, they are incredibly bright (DOT sign tape) The yellow is almost a perfect match, so looks nice during the day as well. Also a few pics of my wife and I last night, 109th Submarine Birthday Ball. (The Vx is in the background in one, so it's related...

    Nice pic marlin,I like the "JEEP RECOVERY VEHICULE STICKER" i'm quit sure many JEEPERS when they saw that might dropped few nasty words at you in their minds
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Ah yes, the Hummer. Damn economy forced GM to drop the entire Hummer line, and thus along with the new concept Hummer HX/H4. I had previously been saving my money up for an actual production Hummer H4 someday. Grrrrrrrrrr.

    Marlin; Thats one fine looking VX and you and the Misses are looking fine too. It's obvious in that first photo that she is mighty proud of her own Submariner as am I. Thanks for the service you are doing for us and the good ol' USA. My son-in-laws father served in a sub in WWII in the Pacific and some of the things that go on in that service are not for the faint at heart. My hat comes off to you and your mates. On a sadder note I feel sorry for your neighbor. He has to park his Jeep next to a tricked out VX every day. I'm sure with regular visits to his therapist he will be OK.

    Thank you for your support, I am not actually a submariner, my father was, and I spent about 3 years working on them, but I am an aircraft carrier guy.
    As far as my neighbor, he just moved in a week ago, brand new house. He is learning to cope with the VX, I think he may be self medicating. He is retired Navy, so he will be ok.

    Hope you bought some extra tape. The first time you USE those sliders it will need replacing! But the fun you'll have at Uharrie and Moab will be well worth it. See you in a month!

    MARLIN--- Nice pics!!! Navy Whites are so cool (reminds of the famous movie starring Richard Gere). Is the cell phone an authorized uniform accessory (hmmm, now where's my copy of the regulation?) Nope, you've just earned yourself one gig & demerit Sailor! However, I highly approve of the forearm attachment (what a cutey)!

    The 3M Tape looks sweeeeeeeet!!! It's amazing how close it matches the Proton color. In total darkness, I bet it just beams when illuminated by other vehicles headlights. You should either put reflective yellow or reflective black on the rear step bumper as well. What a cool mod-- adds style and safety, while being very affordable!!! Now; change out of those Whites, as I've scheduled you for some remedial training at 0400 that involves gray paint.

    You, sir, have lost your mind. I can carry a cell phone, and with the new regulations can wear a cell phone, but it must be on the belt behind your arms normal hanging so as not to be seen from the front. Good thing you (officers) have Chiefs around to keep you in check.
