Cheap or Free Jeep Mods

[wcarlson40]

Remove the springs from the rear seat headrests. Allows the headrests to lay flat, greatly increasing visibility out the rear window. How to video on YouTube. They still lock up in place when needed.

Turn signal mod so the side marker lights blink with the turn signals and still work as marker lights.

How do you do this? I haven't heard of this mod.

Chopping the fenders out gives you a lot of room for flexing and looks a lot better than the stock fenders

There a thread somewhere. Super easy and practical. I love mine too for like $0.90!

I like the idea of fender chop. I've seen cup holders in rear bumper which look cool and practical.

Until I have enough extra money to get an Evo 1/4 pounder. I just chopped and re inserted the ends. 45 minutes. Recip saw blade and some screws.

Did my fenders. My own little style.



The next few things will be the front bumper chop, the side marker mod, and the tailgate table (DIY)

That was a nice chop job! Mine came out a bit rough. I'm going to see how they clean up but the edges with clearcoat and the paint bother me a bit so I may grab some plastic take offs for 40 bucks on CL.

I used truck edge trim from Auto Zone. Mine are flat black. They have chrome and a glossy black as well.

Please share technique. I was thinking about doing it this way too, but someone else's perspective is always good to hear.

I cut the fenders and cut and molded the front bumper on my last JK.

Diy stubby bumper. More clearance, real easy to do and looks great.

This is my brothers that we did also. Same process. He used rivets and I used white self tapping screws.

You cut the ground for the side marker and splice it into on of the three wires for the front running light. I believe its the white w/ green wire but I will have to double check. Thats all it takes.

Painted my grille black, 10$ and changed the look of my jeep completely.

 

[toxicwaste29]

Correction. For the turn signal mod. Cut the ground for the side marker and splice that into the white with red strip wire from the front running light

I like the spare tire delete.
Makes looking out the back window easy and lightens the jeep.
You can fab up your own stamp or just remove the tire carrier/light or buy a stamp for cheap.

Repainted the front grille with plastidip. The love bugs down here are destroying my paint!



Chopped my fenders a while ago but figured if anyone wanted to see what it'd look like with a full size front bumper like my Warn elite.

Looks nice with your full size bumper.
I might have to plastidip my front grill
