CJ/YJ Tub Swab
Eventually the driver side floorboard in my 1984 CJ-7 became a window with a great view of the ground. After a little while longer, my rear fenders started to develop rust holes from tire spray. Over the years, the holes grew bigger and bigger and my Bondo patches just weren’t holding up. I knew it was time to start looking for a new tub..... Domain: http://myweb.cableone.net Rating: (0/5)

Doorless Mirror Mounts
If you haven't figured it out by now, Jeeps were made to be driven topless and doorless. Going topless is easy enough to do but unfortunatly, going doorless will also leave you mirrorless. This would otherwise be no big deal except for the fact that most states will require you to have at least a driver side external mirror.
Now, while there are a myriad of brackets and external mirrors available to fix this problem, most of them cost in the neighborhood of $30-$80. Needless to say, I wanted something cheaper, functional and easy to install. After a quick trip to my local PepBoys, I found everything I needed and all for about $14!!

Flat Fender your Jeep
Giving your Wrangler, CJ-7, or CJ-5 the flat fender look not only looks cool, it increases tire clearance. Many of round fender Jeeps you'&ll find on the hard trails have adopted this look for increased tire clearance, tighter turning radius, and longer fender life.

Flip top for your TJ
Wow... This is so cool and cheap. What with Spring just around the corner... How about your very own Flip Top sun roof for a fraction of the cost? The Best Top Supertop Sunrider sells for $700 plus shipping and doesn't even include the soft upper door halves. Well, for probably $10 and a little time, you can do it yourself in about 1 hour.

Front license plate mount
I had never found a decent location to mount the front license plate. This was even more difficult with the addition of the winch. Nothing some mag light clamps and a roller fairlead can't fix. Domain: http://www.xplorx4.com Rating: (5/5)

Homebuilt Snorkel
This very detailed write-up explains how to build a snorkel for a TJ.
First objective was filtered air in a serviceable water tight canister. There were not many aftermarket options for canisters; those that were available blew the budget. I went to a local auto store and opened all the K&N filters boxes... I found a desirable K&N filter I wanted and combined it with a Stainless Steel Paint. The two were a perfect match, almost more than a coincidence I feel. Just these two parts alone could run independently of everything else in case of severe snorkel damage from a roll-over or fire. Built in redundancy! Domain: http://www.jeephorizons.com Rating: (3/5)
