Side view mirror with doors off
Now, I preface this with "check your local laws first." Some states require a side view mirrors on both sides of the vehicle. I can't claim this was my idea and I apologize if this is already in this thread somewhere. I have used a stick on bicycle size mirror (2") on the passenger side air vent. With the door off and the vent adjusted this mirror works to "look" at the blind spot on that side. With only one mirror on the driver's side this makes me legal in more than a few states with having a rearward facing mirror on both sides even with the doors off. I will have to post a pic later...I'm not sure I have one.

-The only free/cheap mods I have done so far is to drill out the crappt stock plastic bolts that hold the shifter boot assembly together. I HAD to do this because the dealer broke mine while fixing my clutch. They tried to fix it with super glue, which lasted a day. A little drilling, and a few little bolts and nuts, and I think it gives it a little more personality.
-I used some low profile high streingth velcro to secure the ipod next to the deck.

Here's a few i've done that I don't think I have seen yet.
I painted my stock steelies... then later bedlined them
Homemade quick discos for those of us with out rubis https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ick+disconnect
And how to hold them up once disco'd
https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...Rubicon-models
Bedlined grill
https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...=Bedline+grill i also painted my jeep letters shiny black to match my black paint.... the shiny jeep, dull grill, shiny emblem contrast looks nice.
Then I did the grill insert mod with plastic gutter guard

I installed a cb for 110 total. Somewhat cheap, very important mod. Especially if you wheel with friends.
Sorry if I reposted some. I'll post pics later due to being out of town and away from the jeep.

Awesome, useful thread!!
Don't forget the "under e-brake storage" mod. There are a few different ones on here. But here's mine using the left over piece of rear floor liner.
