Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

Anti knife rattle mod. Cost $0.00 since I had extra foam from my tool box organization.

 

Picked one up and cant believe how perfect it fits! Thanks for this!

 

I just got the same restaurant organizer form Amazon but can not get it to slide into the center console. It is too wide at the top. I can't even force it in. The top flairs out too much. Any tips?

 

It fits, I thought so myself at first then somehow it fell into place. Pain to get up though because of a notch. Cant remember how it went in but it will go!

 

Recent Taco related frugal garage mods I did a little while back. $10 worth of wood. Already had the decking screws and gray paint.

Wall mount for my Lund hitch-rack bed extender.




Rack to hold my extra winter wheels/tires

 

Anyone try these? I always wondered why a $30,000+ truck wouldn't have an illuminated ignition ring.

I figured that for $3 it's worth a shot!

60$ bed-slide. , 1.5" wheels and wood.

 

^^^This! I am so going to do this!

Where did you get the casters?

 

local industrial caster shop, but theres some in hardware stores.(i think)´the size of the caster fit in the grooves of the bed lining.
wanted to keep it as low as possible, so I can pull out my tubs without opening my bed cap.

 

It's the hockey stick that makes it. I wouldn't make one without it.

 

its a canadian thing,

 

Love the bed slide!

 

nice build, love the fj shifter knob swap,

 

When you pull it out to full extension, what stops it from 1, going too far, and 2, from tilting from weight on the back end?

 

Nice. Add some fold down legs on the end and you've got a sweet work bench.

 

I am still having trouble getting this Counter Top Bar Caddy from Amazon into my center console. I see that it will fit, but I just can't squeeze it past the lip on the driver's side of the console. I am pushing pretty hard, but don't want to snap anything and have to broke AND stuck in there. I can tilt it in at an angle and see how it would fit, but can't rotate it to sit flat. I just KNOW it will fit. I can get it close but not all the way in. Is it possible to get it back out if I get it in? If anyone has the "trick" on how to get this thing in I am eager to figure it out and appreciate any help. Thanks!

 

To get it back out i used a credit card or two as a ramp to push the lip back out. Its a pain but it does come out.

 

Not sure if it matters, but I put the larger open end in the front of the console. I just shoved down and it popped in. I haven't tried to remove it.

 

Mine is the other way around but I just shoved it down after I thought it wasn't gonna fit so either way doesn't matter!
