Cheap mods you are proud of

Nothing like a nice $15.00 speaker from Amazon making use of the area where the wireless charger is to prevent me from saying "Say again your last" on the radio!

 

Yep, had to do the same. Ears just aren't what they used to be.
I mounted mine near the light in the ceiling:

 

Nice!! Same same for my ears...apparently not using ears in my earlier years is catching up with me! Hahaha

 

My windshield wiper fluid check valves kept failing and I read on another forum that the cause might be clogging, so I decided to install an in line fuel filter. I ordered these for just over $1.50 Hengst Fuel Filter - Inline off of Amazon

Hengst Fuel Filter - Inline

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQI60C0 going to install it later today.

 

Fun with a paint pen….

 

takes me back to the old days! filling the letters in our shift knobs with fingernail polish or model paint and then wiping it clean.

 

Installed the filter yesterday, so far all good

 

Ordered 2, thanks!

 

Neat idea.
Why wasn't it installed on the main supply line before the existing check valve? (So as to cover both distribution lines.)
I'm not critiquing. Genuinely curious if there is a reason.

 

Checked the tubing and that's the right place. It appears the filter is located on one of the valve outputs based on the bilateral symmetry of the valve but a quick check indicates that is actually on the input.

 

Yep, it did appear that way. Thanks for the response.

I can -now- also see the arrow for the "direction of flow". It matches what you pointed out. I should have looked closer to begin with.

 

Great explanation! I thought it was located there so that it did not interfere with any frequency interruption from the flux capacitator!

I got to reenlist for 4 more years

 

Try this Toyota part number..................... they are FREE. Just have to have proof of your VIN number. Ask for 4, keep 2 and give 2 away!

Extender Seat Belt - Toyota (73399-50080)

 

Congrats! Excellent decision.

 

Thanks for your service.

 

My pleasure! Thank you for the opportunity!

 

Just Incase the car thieves can't figure it out .

 

Cheap (almost free) mod for those of us with an after-market hitch.

The square rubber caps sold to cover a 2" hitch receiver tube - also fit the left & right side cross-tube openings (2").
I attached a length of bungee cord (via a hole in each cap) to keep the caps pulled in tight. Since I store things (length of chain, extra straps, etc.) in that cross tube, I didn't want the stuff (esp chain) to push the caps off when under the forces during cornering.

Found two caps at a garage sale for $1.50.

(couldn't find a photo)

 

I remember these from my days in the left seat! I'd put the plane away and walk to my car and there they would be on my valve stems, and the four stock ones in a little baggie under the drivers-side wiper. Free valve caps! No one ever said a word.
It was a long time before I finally figured it out.

Gotta love the maintenance team guys/gals. Thank you! They keep you alive at "FL-xxx".
