You could make a storage cabinet for the rear cargo area.

Thumbs up

You can make a Cargo net out of rope.

Rotate your tires.

Stubby your front bumper for free.

Make foot pegs for when doors are off. I used 4" Square U-Bolts, couple nuts, and washers I had laying around the garage.

Mount a couple gun holsters in Jeep. I got one for my CC by my right knee next to dash, and keep my Mossberg 500 over my rear roll bar.

Make some brake line extensions and larger bumpstops for free for when you get a bigger lift, you'll already have those parts.

Make some Quick Disconnects for front sway bars.

Make rear storage area out of some plywood.

Lots of things you can do... I sit in my Jeep for hours just looking for little things to do to make it unique.

You can also bedline wheels, cowl, jeep emblems, and other parts.

Remove stickers.

Make grab handles out of old lunchbox handles (I got lucky and they are the SAME EXACT as many $30 grab handles).

Turn your seat lever down so when you slide out of your seat it doesn't lower.

Grab some cheap paint and paint your Differential Covers, shocks, and lower control arms. ( painted my faded Rubicon shocks and Diff covers Candy Apple Red I had laying around in the garage.) Looks great.

Grab some high temp paint and paint that ugly azz muffler showing rusty brown to the world.

Any questions on any of these just PM me.

You could get a second job if you're bored.

Some simple free electrical mods... If you haven't done these already, tap in a ESP kill switch, tap your fender side marker lights into your front turn signals..
