Just a thought, it would be cool to learn in depth about your money saving, cool mods.
So share your tips, tricks, mods, cheap ideas, use links, pics and descriptions to help us out so we too can use your good ideas.
What better way to give back to the forum.
Cheap Mods, are just that! If you love your Jeep and your Arss, then always get the BEST you can afford :thumb: This principal will pay dividends later :whistling:
My go-to folks here (to name a few) are: Jimbox, kbwwolf & CG3 :angel:

You'll be fine. I think if you search for a post by MTH he posted his write up, super simple. I just am waiting to get mine, I just ordered the VDP one instead. But it's the same concept. Chalk your line, saw, and self tap screw the cap on.
Somebody on one of the forums "welded" his plastic bumper. Don't know how, but he left some extra after he stubbied it and then used heat to reshape it to look like a stock bumper shape again. It was bad ass.
This is my mod philosophy as well.
I want to put the best stuff I can find on my Jeep, even if it means waiting and saving up my pennies to do it right.
Washed my 2012 Sport today, noticed that quite alot of water from the powerwash had sprayed under the hood, into and around the air filter inlet. Having read on this forum about a guy who hydrolocked his 2012, I was concerned.
Here is the problem:
This is, of course, the left side. The right is the same. There is a gap where the factory weather seal ends and water can infiltrate under the hood and into the air filter. You can see daylight in this pic.
What I did was to glue down a piece of foam weatherstripping onto the gap left by the factory. I used 3m Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive.

I used the old school tried and true method .................cardboard.............lots and lots of cardboard. I just kept folding and trimming and fitting until it was right; then transferred to the sheet of aluminum. I made the top first then made the tubing frame fit.
Yea.... no not really. Read up on this: Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society. A good report completed in 1966 outlining major traumatic fatal events, mostly automobile accidents. So safety is a bad thing? Do kids 4'9" or shorter need to be in car seats? Probably not, but seatbelt? Yes.
That paper, commonly called "The White Paper", is a running joke among EMS. My paramedic teachers told us that it was written shortly after civilian ambulances were released, letting people know that paramedics are just trained monkeys, and that illness and injury will happen and we cannot stop it. :doh:
Unzip the fabric on the drivers side roll bar and you can hide a garage door opener inside. I have mine hidden under the triangle fabric piece that connects where the roll bar horizontal and vertical bars meet. Simply push the outer fabric covering the button on the remote. Totally discreet and less likely to be stolen when the top and doors are off.
I sure can't get in from the front. I have to put one of the kids in there to clean the windows. Being 6'3" has its advantages but getting in the back seat of a 2 door JK is not one of them.
