Cheap easy mod
Custom bump'her, flame job, Priceless! Not to mention the Peterbilt visor or 8' bed of beer cans. Then there's the other one, My Tonka Cadillac that is more politically correct.

I wired up these super bright LED's in the back to a relay and switch in the cab.
Next was adding dual 12v charging outlets , always hot .
Last mod was wiring this voltmeter up . I removed the side vent and trimmed a little dash to fit it , and snugged it up with some glue . It is switched although it draws very little power .

Probably not the best place for this, but I bought a battery at the junkyard today for $30! New was over $100, and this one wasn't even a year old.

Did a few more cheap/easy mods recently:

- Relocated 7-PIN Plug
- 10" SeeLite SR LED Light-Bar (write-up / review HERE)
- Plasti-Dipped Stock 17" Sport wheels

Made a cover for the light-bar. What could've been a 5 minute job with the right tools took me about 3 hours with a dremel.
WAY too much work for what it is, and it is nowhere near "perfect". But it works great.
2" x 1/4" x 1/4" neodymium magnets epoxied in the channel:
Piece of 3/16" scrap leftover from my skids (that's why there's a hole). I tried to route-out "pockets" with my dremel:
The magnets are as strong as hell!!!

Converted from a post to a side terminal battery. Bolted a used battery box from a 2000 GP to the factory box in my 86 22r P/U. In the process of replacing the oem plastic air intake hose, Found a deal on a 2 1/2" silicone 45 degree elbow... looking for some ideas on the best way to go from there...I found a dust control/ wood working supply place that looks promising...nosawdust.com I'll need a wwf tank and overflow tank with new locations for mounting. Looks like the top of the passenger's side fender liner would
be a good
lo
cation to mount a wwf tank that isn't to tall.
