Etc or even a project you have in mind. Let's hear or see some creativity!

I made my own foot pegs out of cold roll, bolt(s), and perforated steel. I'll have to look for pictures in the 1700+ treasure trove of photography in my phone

Made my own license plate relocation bracket for the spare tire. Cost me about $30 total for material, delete plug and lights vs $80 just for the bracket.

Rear deck to keep tools and valuables out of site and safe.
Also made a bracket for my back up lights and 3rd trail light.

is the rear deck just bedlined wood or did you go with a composite? Came out great!

Made a portable power source for my fridge and for charging cellphones and other devices.
The battery box is connected to a solar panel.
A friend of mine helped me with a mounting solution for the solar panel.
