Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

Stop driving like this and you'll be fine.

I've watched people run stop signs in front of cops, and the cops don't seem to care.

 

Chances are they were going to a call and couldn't stop her.

 

I hate when people run stop signs.

On the DIY mods

A wooden board I found in my garage to prevent grocerys from rolling around and anything else...... no. Got some planned though.

 

Very Nice!!! did you mount yours the same as Worstbullet? Thanks

 

Yeah, just mounted with zip ties. Super easy mod.

 

I kept hearing this infernal rattle that sounded like metal hitting metal, when I'd drive on dirt roads with lots of cobble or washboards. I checked the motor, transmission and t-case mounts and they were all fine. I checked the drivelines, center bearing, front diff, CV axles and all suspension components with the truck up in the air on jackstands and no load on the suspension. I checked everything underhood, the front clip and the safety bumper. Finally when I had enough for one day and shut the hood, I heard the rattle again for a split-second. I opened the hood and discovered that the hood prop is wiggly even when it is secured in the plastic clip that holds it down. I already had the leftover pipe insulation and zip ties, so the "silent hood prop" mod cost me $0.00, and when I leave the pavement my truck no longer rattles like a '92 Dodge Neon with a bad aero kit.

 

Thanks for doing all the work for us. That's a lot of hunting.

 

Get Redline Tuning hood struts and you won't have to keep that "silent" prop rod

Glad you found an easy quick fix to you

 

Done. Now I need the stop my truck from smelling like a little tire mod.

 

Just mount it under the truck like the other guy did.

 

I actually thought about that. Would be interested to see how he did.

 

Did you see the quote with the picture on post #540 ?

Looks like a different tire held on with 1 bolt.

 

Nope, but thanks for showing me.

 

I was going to mention that before. I bought two of those Harbor Freight tires to fix a hand dolly a while back. The whole basement stunk of freshly molded rubber for weeks!

 

I had that happen when i ordered my Rokblokz Mud flaps. They smelled like molded plastic and cigarettes

A week later and they had no smell at all

 

Not really a mod but it was frugal, did it myself, and will be used for my tacoma. Took a plank of wood and old stool to be thrown away, hammered the wheels off, drilled holes in each corner, and wedged the wheels in. About 20 minutes time.

 

A dwarf creeper? LOL

 

Which ones did you get exactly or which do people recommend?

 

Sh, no one must know my true appearance.
