Just another SoCal 460 trying not to look like a minivan. Part of the fun for me is the DIY aspect of modding. I look at things and think about how I can do it for less or get a better bang for the buck.
I'm not just going to buy and bolt on aftermarket parts all over. Nothing wrong with it and I love seeing high dollar builds.
I usually get inspired and think how I can get similar function for less cost.
"Built not bought" is real but I do recognize a time/effort/final quality aspect as well. I may look at the cost of materials and decide that building will not gain me anything over modifying or buying something else available. Sometimes I still do it if I just want to learn a new skill.
I'll post what projects I get done here. After struggling with electrical and overall build quality issues that kept me from really enjoying my Jeep Wrangler during the pandemic, I finally got it running clean and sold it. Bought the '13 GX460 and hope it does well to do mild offroading and fun backwoods trips with the kids.
I usually catalog everything on my blog so I can go back and check and also not forget in time what and how I've done it.
I don't make money on it, I have no advertising, and forgive me if its poorly written and the photos are basic. It's not a "how-to", but more "I-did".
Blogs are not my hobby, but hopefully I can show just enough to give inspiration to other's creativity.
