Just bought my 07 Sahara 2 weeks ago, and i'm looking to do some simple mods within a decent price range for the moment... so far ive changed out the head & fog light bulbs to hyper white bulbs, at the moment the light tint is drying in my garage on the headlights, fog lights, turn signals, and tail lights... was considering doing the hurculiner, but keep going back and forth.....

Anyone have any other ideas for simple mods i can do myself on a random day off???

Well, taking crap off is cheap and easy. If you have steps, take them off, you can swap the visors to keep from looking at the stickers, um, Idk, JK's come with less ugly stuff than TJ's did... :) Paint the Jeep letters on the front, trim the flares, Harley mirrors for when you're doorless, make quick discos. I'd have to find the cheap mods thread to come up with more.

Congrats on the new Jeep! Don't forget to wave! :)

:) Go to "search" for "console cushion", mine is Rugged Ridge and it makes your rught elbow -so comfy, it you gotta drive any length of time

Get some 1" gray door sealer tape cushion, one side adhesive the other-foam, and put along the drivers/passenger doorwindow base and it's easier on the drivers left elbow and passengers right--blends right in with the gray plastic

I am liking this thread already!

I searched the net and found a site that told me how to make my own cheap disconnects. At least until I can invest into something better in the future.

There are many little things you can do. Go to your favorite Jeep catalogue and look for inexpensive, usefull items. Center console are rest is a good one. Hand straps on the rollbars, new floor mats, GPS, Sat radio, CB radio.... Turning the mirror is a good idea. I did that on my TJ, and forgot all about it for my JK..... Good luck....

Make sure and adjust your headlight beam level nice and low with those.

I shoot with local PD and Sheriffs at the range all the time and they have a particular hatered for super bright eye level headlights.

Even if you don't go off road a tow strap and basic safety equipment is good to have. Fire extinguisher, road flares, gloves, small first aid kit, etc.


Removing the spring from the hood latch prevents hood flutter on the highway.

Really? Not that I care about the hood flutter really. In fact it is a nice joke to play on some girls when they are in my Jeep... "I think the hood is going to fly off.. ahhh!" Ha ha ha! :D

The tint looks great, i did the headlights, foglights, trun signals, and tail lghts... I did go a little dark, the beam was dimmed a bit, not enough to be a pain or anything, but i definitly plan on switching out the factory lights for some HIDs now... Im also buying the bestop hard top in 2 weeks, i do a lot of highway driving, n the road noise from the soft top is irritating, not to mention that i love the way it looks...

yea i dont think it was too bright to do the head lights. but ya live and ya learn. the stock jeep head lights are so bad to begin with that i couldnt imagine tinting them myself. HID's should defilently help out in that area. i do how ever love the tinted look. i can also agree that the hard top is a great addition to the wrangler, i couldnt see myself without mine now.

The first thing i did was take of the side steps and stupid plastic jugs on the bumpers. My side steps were rusing and looked bad so those were trash. it also gives the jeep a lift look, even if it isnt. the plastic jugs wear just plain ugly and i didnt lie them. anyway, good luck!
