just thought it would be a neat idea if someone could start a thread with only pics and info on home mods. write-ups wouldn't have to be included but a link to one would be nice if it is available. if someone likes the idea, start it up!

replacement seat belt

Got a replacement seatbelt the worked just great, except (of course) the short strap didn't hug the seat like stock.

Reformed the plastic strap holder so it now bolts to the original spot on the seat and curves around the seat.

Used the torch to heat up the plastic to reform, then snaked the new belt in.

Not much, but it kept me in the garage for a while!

made a full steel door rack out of scrap 2x4's. It's 24" wide, base is 36" long, & uprights are 48". the supports were just eyeballed, & casters were leftover from a sttel rack I bought about 3 yrs ago. It's also stable enough to support a single door without toppling over. base is also designed so if moved, doors won't slide out & off. whole thing is screwed together with 3.5" outdoor woodscrews which ironically are torx head:rofl:

It was something in the link. I had to try a couple of times to get it to work. :confused:

That's a nice looking case. I broke down a few years ago and bought one something like it that holds the upper doors and windows, with cloth between each one. Works Great.

I finally got around to building an adapter, with the help of a friend, to mount my 5th JK wheel on the original tire carrier. Put new studs for the 5x5 pattern in a steel plate then bolted that to the carrier. I need to extend the rubber stoppers though to secure the tire better.

nothing as nice as you fab guys, but i made a license plate frame for my TJ...

I couldnt find one i liked, so i went to the parts store and bought the cheapest $4 metal frame I could find, a can of spray rubberized undercoat, and krylon fusion satin black.

sanded the paint off of the license plate frame, and laid it out in the sun. I like to spray anything with teh rubberized on hot days so it drys on contact and/or pretty quick. The farther away you spray it the better texture you get.

let it dry and painted it up to match.
