Pull out your rear seat and build a huge storage box for the back! It will only take you an hour or so, but you CAN make it last for several days if you want!

If you have relcated mirrors on the windshield, get a piece of 1x1 square tubing drill some holes in it to extend the mirror out so it can be functional with the doors on again!

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

quick and easy...go get some maglight mounts and mount two maglights to your glovebox horizontally...that way you have a primary, and one as a backup, or for your passenger...and it looks really cool...

aAHHA thats a good thought, the box sounds like a good start

De-sticker your TJ. I removed all the factory stickers not long after I bought the TJ. The decals look cheap anyways. Speaking of useless decals - I wonder how easy it is to take off the Mall Rated badge on the new TJ's.

Think of a phrase to put on your windshield and go to decalzone.com (i think that is it) and design it there.

Fire extinguishers = $20
Zip ties (250) = $5
rubber padding from stock roll bar covers = free

Safety is cool, isn't it?

Paint your headlight bezels black & remove the front bemper endcaps if you still have them.

Pretty cheap and adds to agressiveness

Damn you guys are good, thanks for the ideas so far.

1. Install a hand throttle
2. Strip your padding off the roll cage and arms, paint them a cool contrasting color.
3. repaint the center piece to your dash to match the roll cages new color.
4. Install mag light brackets for 6 Dcell mag light on passenger side well. Serves as a "self defense" weapon too.....hey, you never know.
5. Custom shifter knob.

Just an idea:

Go to www.jeepsunlimited.com and do a search for this. There are 2 huge threads about exactly this. You would have an entire day's reading about little stuff like this.

1. Disable clutch interlock - or better yet, install a switch so you can run it like this on the trail only
2. Same idea about the switch for the door light switches
3. Modify fog light relay so fog lights and high beams can be on at same time

I'm over there trying and went with "cheap mods" and "easy mods" but haven't found anything...

EDIT: found one by just scrolling through the topics...5 pages long:

These arent really mods as much as maintainence, I dont kno what year your jeep is. But you can always repaint the front and rear bumper to avoid rust.
