Added led 3rd (4th) brake light today. Harbor freight special $6.99 2" nine led marker light. Tapped into the 3rd brake light harness And mounted it right to the center cap of the spare tire.
Added reflector strips (free from a friend) to the bumperetts.

Pretty slick. I paid alot more for some lights that go into the 2 vacant lug nut locations on the spare. Yours looks just as good and way cheaper.
 

To get a more even lit taillight, remove the lens and bulbs. Then line the inside with white reflective emergency tape. Replace the bulb and lense. It seems brighter but it's not really, it is a better distribution of reflected light. image-2908100149.jpg

Place keychain ring on zipper pulls or at least 6 inches of rope/ shoelace/ paracord through the zipper pull. The cord is folded in half. Then push the loop in the cord you just made part way through the zipper tab loop. Then pull the ends through the loop you made in the second step. Knot the ends to I've you something to grip.
 
Use a bar of soap to lubricate your zippers by scrubbing the dry soap into the teeth of the zipper when closed. It doesn't weaken the material or zipper. Easy to clean off and replace.
