Stop crying, it's the idle chit chat that ruins this great thread. Post the mod here along with link to write up and get out of the way. More than that PM and get a phone number. There's so much other crap in here to sift thru to get to mods. This thread shouldn't be this freakin long. :thefinger:

I've done lots of great little cheap tweaks but the one that's been the cheapest and most worth the effort was the "Hood Latch Zip Tie Fix".

It works great, took about 5min and cost all of about $3.

Agree!!

Other subject: when "low cost" is right next to "free" - keep things in perspective. Example:$100 is change to a millionaire, but a phone bill for mortals. Better- we all complain when a gallon of gas hits $4.00

Not sure what the wadded panties are all about. "Low Cost" is a relative term. Any time you've engineered an idea or discovered a way to overcome a challenge for pennies on the dollar of what is currently available then that is indeed a "Low Cost" idea.

Keep em coming and let the haters hate.

Everyone stop please, 1. your only making it longer. 2. If it currently costs 500$$ and you can make it for 100$$ that's low cost so stop blowing about everything that you think you can't afford. Next mod please \/

If you go muddin all the time here is the best way to clean the undercarriage use scrubbing bubbles. Works great spray in let sit and rinse off just be careful not to get it on the paint

I've had zip ties on my hood latches since the week I bought my Jeep.

On side note... DAMN, I thought my latches were sun faded.
