Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

You just have the wrong map lights brotha! I can fix that problem for ya!

 

I like this light because it doesn't shine it your eyes. Light is below your line of sight.

 

This is a Frugal DIY mod thread, not a Frugal DIY 10 minute mod thread.

To each their own I guess but my storage space is precious in my truck and I would much rather do this mod right and not have extra items taking up space unnecessarily.

 

I can, but state inspection doesn't.

Link?

 

Perhaps you need the little tire mod.

 

I got tired of things sliding towards the front of my bed, so I created an attachment point for my bungee cord.

Start with a metal blank and cut it in half. The blank had two holes, so I added a smaller hole in each half. Next I painted them black.



I attached two old keychain loops to the smaller holes.



Now, use the cargo door screws to hold the plates



And attach your bungee cord. No more sliding cargo

 

Nice job, these also work pretty well.

 

I was just about to suggest the same.

 

one of my most used mods

 

So the soft side of the sensor, is that the flat side?

 

Those preexisting bolts are useful. Used them when I made my fire extinguisher mount.

 

You smart son of a.......I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT!!!!! Now i need to get a fire extinguisher

Any more pictures of that fire extinguisher mount?

 

And i learned it from you

 

Yes, that goes against the tube

 

LMFAO !!!

 

Just a flat bracket with a quikfist mounted to it. Then, that whole unit is mounted using the preexisting bolts on the cubby.





The flaps tuck back and grab on the bolts so they're not flopping around.

 

I thought the large quickfist could span the whole space from cubby bolt to cubby bolt....damn. I'll just go with my original plan. Thank you.

 

Hey just to be fair, you're not the only one to come up with this solution.

 

these are about $3 bucks on Amazon but i think theyre only available as add on orders of $25 or more but they are adjustable after installation (like on a ball and socket similar to a rearview mirror)

 

I guess it's DIY because you stuck them on there all by yourself? I kid. I have them too, nice to have on the highway for the blind spot.
