Title: Best mods under $100
Post by: JustaFordGuy on February 07, 2012, 03:30:16 PM
I think it would be cool for everyone to post their cheap mods. Anything you think was worth the time and under $100.

I like the stereo console idea. Remind me to look at that sometime soon. I really don't like my current stereo setup much.

This one was easy and cheap. Late model Radiator overflow and washer tank. Less than $20 at P&P.

Here's another good one. Power brakes from a Jeep Cherokee, $25. Had to make a custom bracket and lengthen the push rod.

The Tuffy Stereo Security Console fits very nicely between the front seats, allows you to keep the factory radio in dash, and gives you somewhere to securely store stuff (& CD Receiver) when you are parked somewhere with the top down... it was a bit more than $100, but works great in the EBs.

Cooling mods. Cut out inner fenders. 0$ and 10 minutes with a plasma cutter. Not sure if it helped keep it any cooler but it sure makes it easier to work on the starter and alt. ;D

I made this console, cost less than $20 for materials. Thinking about adding an amp and speakers to it.

Three more cheap Mods.

1: Fire Extinguisher. (Best money you can spend on any vehicle)
2: First Aid Kit.
3: 12V power ports.

Twin stick is also a great mod but cost a little more than $100. :)

Another nice cheap mod. After I added A/C none of my dash knobs matched. Also the ones that came with the Vintage air kit were ugly. I got these billet aluminum ones off Ebay for less than $20.

Here's two more.

1: Cherokee wiper arms and 14" blades. A great upgrade from the stock 12" ones.
2: BigBendBroncos.com window sticker. only $15  ;D

I think my inside rear panels qualify for best for under $100. They really helped with sound deadening and add a good bit of storage. Cost less that $50 including the peel @ Seal I put behind them.
