My best mod on my 2 door JK was to take out the rear seat as soon as I got it home from the dealer!

Poor factory ground causes jeep to not start at times. This mod corrected the issue. It is a common issue. Mine had it when I purchased it.

I did the same with my back set, but replaced with tool box! So, not free.

Default My cheap grill mod
I really liked the 'gutter guard' mod to the front grill to give it a nice look. I decided to paint mine white since I love my all white Jeep. It was pretty easy, not bad for a girl!Click image for larger version Name: IMG_2235.jpg Views: 315 Size: 45.3 KB ID: 501563

Two of my favorite cheap mods; painting wheels and center caps and the hood decal. $30 for the paint and $20 for the custom decals

Nice box!

Is it bolted down?

I've wanted to put in something similar for occasional firearm storage but be able to take it out for wheeling
