I wanna hear the best of the best, most creative things you built, bought, or even just designed. I wanna see it all from audio to lights to tailgates to spare wheel mounts to engine components to seats. Everything under the sun for creative solutions. Long term solutions, no temporary 5 min fixes. With pictures if accessible. Gonna be doing some things to hercules this summer and wanna get a good collaboration of ideas.

Nothin fancy creative,,, just a cheap fix,,, toolbox drawer non-slip = quick fix for cracked dash, AND your beer and sunglasses stay where you put'em! My 79 "Woody" the wood/huntin truck is the cheap truck,,, If I can fix it with what I got layin around,,, he gets it!

One thing ive been thinking about is mounting extra gauges where the stock radio is

 

Ive seen your thread on this and its absolutely incredible. You did an amazing job on it

 

Probably not the first but... I Threw in a battery Isolator and Optima redtops for both primary and auxiliary batteries. The isolator solenoid remains 'open' until the primary is fully charged, and charges the aux battery only when the primary is full. It also isolates the auxiliary from the rest of the power system when the engine isn't running so there's always a fully charged battery; I made it switchable via a second starter solenoid with a spst that combines amperage if the primary is drained.
Works like a charm, and I'll never have a dead battery.

 

A light bar out of a contractor's ladder roof rack pulled from the rotting carcass of a Dodge van.

Cost was a whopping $13... plus a lil bit of stainless hardware.

 

My whole build thread is what you are asking. Let me put up a couple highlights.


Spare tire, hi lift and jery can on roll bar.




How bout a rear bumper.




Some jack stands for highboy axle removal.




Saginaw steering swap.




Re purposed stock tranny mount to work with my nv4500, and to swap my np205 shifter to the other side.








Box for tunes.






Guage cluster.














Hood latch backet to clear my intercooler.




And too many more things to count.
