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!
This skid plate is awesome I know it is home made and it looks similar to the one on the tomb raider jeep from the movie is there someone out there who has plans for this skid or who can make it I'd love to have one for my jeep. Thorty very nice job looks great
Here is a winch plate. I used 1/4" steel for the platform and 1/8" for the shield, The winch plate was raised 2" off the front bumper and I welded a 1/4" plate from the back of the winch plate and forward to the front cross member. I then cut four 1" holes in the angled piece for air flow to the radiator. BULLET proof!!!!! (rounded the top to match front of Jeep)
modified an ammo can to fit everything i need on the trail.
The can mounts to my swingaway tire carrier. MORE room in that thing than i thought.
cool thing is when Im not on the trail i can remove the can and keep everyting in it for the next ride.
I didn't do this but a lady in my club built this for her samurai. I know it's not a jeep and I didn't do it, but I thought it was really cool and would pass it along
I finally got my Hobart 187 wired and working woo hoo

I got this idea from someone else on the forum here but I added a faucet to it. I built this while living in Texas where it's quite a bit hotter than here in MO. The water supply is a jerry can on the tire carrier, and I used a RV water pump that shoots out the faucet at 45psi and 3 gallons per minute. Two of the misters use .75 gallons/hour each, and the other two use 1 gallon/hour each. So the tank of water last me a long time.
This shows the four bolts holding the pump on the opposite side of the wheel where there's a large empy space.
This is the water pump
This is the mister. I've since cut that zip tie and straightened things out a bit
I wired the pump up to a switch so I can turn it on or off with the flick of the switch in the cab. The other two switches I wired at the same time were for my front a rear spot lights.

I recently replaced my Bestop deck cover with a home made hard deck cover to give me a place to lock stuff up. I haven't had my back seat in the jeep since I bought it so no loss there. I have two 2x4s going across in between the sides for support and used a marine grade vinyl to cover it with.
I put a lip on the front to keep the water that collects on it from running into the cab
I built it to fit with the top on so I can put the full top on during the winter still
This is the front that I built. The hinges are sturdy but aren't strong enough to withstand someone prying them off. But it's a pretty good deterrent
I made a sliding door so I can throw my backpack or whatever else I have with me in there quick and easy without pulling the passenger seat forward.
And then I made the whole thing to fold foward so I can load large things in
