Seat cover set from SOR

TINT... Window film... There are no curved glass on our cruisers and it is very easy to install.. Looks cool and pervents from sun bleaching...
 
screwdriver and socket

to tighten every visible screw and nut and bolt on the interior and exterior. Most notable improvements came from the back seat and the tailgate area. Also put strip of thjin foam behind license plate to stop the rattlin. Seems like a much tighter truck while driving now.
 
jpeg - i had some of that hardwood floor felt in a drawer, trimmed it, and WOW. no more key jingle and smack. it also matches brown/tan interiors.....
 
I found a 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' 1/4" piece of diamond plate steel, and I leave it in the cargo area cause you never know what you will need it for. For instance I went to the beech this past weekend and I used it to jam under someone's tire so they could get traction. It also came in handy for a solid platform to jack the ford explorer up. I found mine in a scrap metal bin... FREE BE

230k+ miles of cruising took care of the key rattle all by itself, I can just pull the keys out with the ingition in any possition :grinpimp:

LOL!!! glad I'm not the only one! If I'm on the road more than 15 minutes, I pull my keys out and set them in the center console. No key rattle problems here, and it's cheaper than free carpet!!!

What do you do if you need to turn the ignition off in an emergency?

Best mods under $50

Got a few mods I've done to the cruiser.
1. Broadway mirror, I highly recommend this piece. (approx.) $12
2. Triple 12V plug outlet; cut out the single factory 12V outlet, hooked up the wires to the pre-existing stock wires with but connectors and riveted the sucker in place. $10 at Advanced Auto Parts
3. Flush mounted some pioneer tweeters in the doors. Spliced them into the door speaker wires. $50 from crutchfield.com.
4. Daystar "thing" (forgot what it is called) to keep the hi-lift handle from ratteling against the jack. (approx.) $10.00
5. PA speaker hooked up to my CB for yelling at people on campus.
6. Hadley Air Horn; I know, I know I cost way more than 50 bucks, but hey, that sucker is loud as hell and awesome for when people cut you off on the road.
7. Fabricated a mount for my iPod using a piece of left over diamond plate. I just use the clip the iPod came with to clip it to the mount I made.
8. Fire Extingusher
9. Mounted my MagLight under the glove box with the 2 C-shaped clips.
10. Cut a piece of diamond plate to mount my fog light switches on and mounted it where the radio is suppose to go on my Tuffy consoule.
11. Just ordered a Hella Map Flexible Map light (7") from man-a-fre.com. $35

It's a rear-view mirror that gives you a really broad view out the back...

Broadway mirror

Or, it's a mirror that makes you look like you belong on Broadway, not really sure....
 
I purchased a Inclinometer/Altimeter from a guy in Japan off ebay. He included a Broadway mirror in the shippment. It is basically a longer rectangle review mirror that has a minor concave shape to it. I'm glad he added it b/c it allows me to not only see out of my rear window but also allows me to see out of my rear side windows. It just clips over your stock mirror. I can take a pic and post it the beginning of next week.

P.S. It has nothing to do with dancing on Broadway!!!
