Best mod for under $100? (2 Viewers)

[Joe Link]

Bump! Love this thread

This may have already been mentioned but has saved my battery many times. A small carabiner can be stuck up into the rear hatch’s latch mechanism and it deactivates the overhead lights. Just finger the release lever and the carabiner drops right out. Extra points for adding something to the carabiner so you don’t forget to pull it before closing the hatch. Mods under $1.00 if you just get a carabiner.

Do you have a link to what you suggest for the Rear hatch carabiner, eyebolts in the 3rd row seatbelt holes ($20)? I am starting to look at options for those seatbelt holes and came across your mention of it.

EDIT - I didn't realize I was in the 80's forum. I have a 100. Would still be interested in what you suggest. Thanks!

best mod for <$100 is definitely the aftermarket temp gauge and the transfer shifter extension of course.

Search for racing harness eye-bolts. There's loads of options on eBay
Seat belts use 7/16UNF thread by international standards.
The same thread is used in racing circles.

New keys from ToyotaMatt.

I paid less than $80 in total for three OEM key blanks from ToyotaMatt plus the dealer fee to cut them based on VIN code. Alternatively, ToyotaMatt can cut to the tumbler code if you have that. These new OEM keys fixed the key's hesitation to rotation in door locks and ignition.

I can't believe I just read through 18 pages of sub-$100 mods - so awesome! I've been struggling to see a use for eye bolts at the top of my rig. I've never wanted to tie anything down from an anchor point up high. Could someone kindly provide a good use for these things? It'd be so easy to do that I want to believe they'd be useful...

I think a guy used them to hang a hammock inside his rig. He hung it diagonal across the back.

You guys are inspiring me to think of things I could hang from an eye bolt, rather than just tying things down to it. Thanks!

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but this is such an incredibly wonderful simple idea. So often I turned off the interior lights cuz I had the rear hatch open for a long time and didn't want the lights on. Eureka!

My carabiner dongle now hangs proudly from my 3rd row eyebolt.

I sell with a base to match the interior color.

Tie Down point

Tie Down point that mounts to upper seat belt mount. This is usually left available to Landcruiser when the third seat row has been removed. The bolt is rated to 1800lbs straight pull, so it should handle your two Doberman Pinchers just fine. Included is the printed ring to cover up the hole in...

Given the current inflation rate, we are going to have to make this thread "Best Modifications for under $300" soon!
