I like to do cheap easy fun things to my tj, I have seen alot out there, but lets put all of our ideas on one thread. We all know about supension, regearing and all of that stuff, but what about the little things, that are just creative. Like cb radio mounts, anything custome. I will start off with what I have done, no available pictures but I will get some up ASAP. Well i mounted my cb behind the center console, I also made custom "oh sh*t" grab handles from 550 cord. I also put a cb speaker in place of my ash tray. I plan on doing some work with ammo cans, I know alot of you guys are CREATIVE so lets see what you guys have done.

In this situation you can't use a dremel, just like many other times rounded out screws tend to be in hard to get to spots.... If you use a dremel here he would destroy his headlights bezels....
Thats tough... Maybe he could grind down the disc so it has a smaller diameter makin it less likely to screw anything else up? Just a thought... I havent looked at how the bezels are screwed in in a while

And slowly replace everything with phillips or hex heads. That's what's I've been doing. Everytime I work on something that takes torx screws/bolts I replace it with stainless. Makes it much easier down the road.

Snap-On make a great set of reverse drill bits. They drill with your drill in reverse. As you drill, the screw or bolt heats up and will start to back out. They have worked for me every time. Way better then trying to drill with a normal bit then use an easy out.

I put a deer hunting tree stand cushion in my driver's seat, one, because it gives a little more comfort & ,two, because it raises me up off the seat some so i can see over the dash a little better

I also put a "third" seat in the back, of course i don't have anyone sit in it while driving, just while in park. Also you can't sit in it while the top is up because your head hits the tip
