Default The 'Wife will never know' Mod Thread

Thought we could talk about mods you can do, that the wife will never know about just by looking at the Jeep. Of course anything under the hood, like a CAI or maybe even a small lift kit. What do you guys think?

Never have parts shipped to your house.

When they see the size of the boxes that bumpers come in they FREAK OUT.

Whenever a delivery truck pulls up, or there is a box by the front door after work, mine smiles and asks "What did you buy now?". Then proceeds to bring me beers as I install said new part. And asks when we are going for a ride in the Jeep. Not after beers. Of course. But I digress.


You guys are doing it wrong ...................


PS A SC Flashpaq is an easy to conceal mod.

My wife, being a family law attorney, is far slicker than most girls. She knows she can't be around during the delivery times. And most of the mods I usually do take a whole weekend to install. So, she uses her nosy skills to dig up where the money went. Even if it's from MY seperate account. I've given up on trying to "hide" it. I just use the old theory of "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission" technique. Since big heavy stuff costs to send back.... it's mine.
