I made up a fake company name, appropriated a 1950s-era logo that once belonged to a nuclear energy mutual fund, painted safety stripes on the back, and plastered a fake vehicle number all over the place.  I also added flashing yellow lights in the rear window, and a police-style spotlight and rubberized push bumper to the front.  VERY FUN accessories &#8230; and useful too (when used with discretion).  The spotlight is incredibly versatile &#8212; you can point\/rotate it while sitting in the driver&#8217;s seat &#8212; and  it&#8217;s come in handy countless times for roadside emergencies, setting up campsites, or finding house numbers on dark streets.<\/p>\n<form><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/archives\/jeep.web.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"148\" class=\"mt-image-none\" \/><\/form>\n<p>This urban camouflage guise is very useful for parking in yellow zones, urban\/industrial exploration, and crime deterrence.
