Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

I used led strip from oznium.

This would be good. Also you can find solid led bars like this

 

Thanks for the info. I was diggin around in my spare VW parts boxes I have came across something that might work.

Any pics?

 

Check my build thread. I'll get some more tomorrow. The original sticky that's on them finally started to fail, it's been a long while since they were installed. I've got some

$8 3m vhb 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3m vhb tape to put them back on.

 

They also make a style that shines a logo or design on the ground. They require a hole to be drilled in the bottom of the door Neat idea, not keen on drilling a hole in my door.

 

That's a really cool idea. Would like to put it under the sideview mirrors as well like some vehicles have upon unlock.

Why did the hole need to be drilled?

 

you could use a 3M adheasive stip or two to attach it.

 

Dog hair proofing/containment.
$20 seat covers from Crappy Tire (look good, snug fit AND seem to be holding up well)
$20 bench seat cover ($10 on sale)
Padded and carpeted floor boxes made from scraps (thanks to my uncle the upholsterer)
Mesh front divider also from scraps (Elastic band over head rests. Velcro to carpeted rear bottom portion of front seats)

 

I've got two dogs that would work well for, but might work even better for my kids. They are messy as hell back there!

 

I hear that! I have a Pet Rider that I've been meaning to install between the back seat and the kids car seats. The back seats are pretty well trashed already though.

 

Yuck, one of the reasons i got my bestop. The whole fam and the dogs can go places together, and keeps the cab clean after they jump in the muddy dog pond

 

Here's a cheap 2 pack of the pet mats http://home.woot.com/offers/2-pack-...er+-+6340762&utm_medium=affiliate+-+home.woot

 

Check this out. Not a bad price.



A little involved to set it up, but it provides really good protection to the entire back of the cab when my lab needs a ride. She still likes to stand on the armrests and has scratched the trim there. Wish she was a calmer passenger.

Has cut-outs for seatbelts if someone is riding in the back.

 

That probably does a great job protecting the interior, but reminds of the elderly who wrap all their sofa's and chairs in that clear thick plastic, does the job, but fugly as hell.

 

Since this has come up here...

I built this from a write-up on another thread here

Easy to put in and out, more solid/stable platform than the seat-backs, gives the dog a back to lean against, and CONTAINS THE HAIR!!!

 

I've got a question, kinda thread jacking for just a second. I bought a used auto and my cupholder has grooves, almost like a divider of sorts should be there, and now I see this picture. Which should I have? I've got an 09 Double Cab Sport. Thanks!

 

M/t or Auto? Placementof cup holders are quite different

 

09+ has those rubber inserts.

05-08 has the plastic adjustable divider.

The console itself did not change design.....just the cup holder. Most people prefer the plastic adjustable divider.

This is also true.....but i'm speaking solely about Autos

 

So either will fit? I had the adjustable one in my old 4runner and liked that. Thanks for the info guys!

 

Yessir, either will fit. Several people swap from the rubber ones to the plastic one

No problem

 

I'll wind up doing that. I'd rather have two cup holders behind the shifter where that useless sized "can(?) holder" is
