What Is Your Favorite Modification?

[Embark With Mark]

So after years of toting around a table, sometimes shoved inside sometimes shoved on the roof, and opening that table every time we need to cook. (Admittedly I have a habit of rolling into my first night of camping rather late. Having to setup a table late at night, in addition to setting up something to sleep in, sometimes just plain sucks.) I finally decided it was time to make something. I built a tailgate table on the back of my jeep. It was cheap, simple, and works so well. This is currently my favorite mod and I think it will be for a very long time. So what is your favorite mod? It can be small or large, cheap or expensive, or something simple. Here is a video of the table I made for my Jeep.

I have 2012 Ram 2500. The best thing I did was put progressive springs on the rear. The ride is so much better!

 

[Billiebob]

I got rid of the big blindspot from the inside rearview mirror.

 

[M Rose]

Best mod... hmm either my overhead console, or the roof rack

 

[MidOH]

Lockers.

Armored mud tires, no flats anymore.

Skid plates, home made.

Oh I bet it is!

Haha, I mean do we really need review mirrors in two door wranglers anyway?

Interesting. What do you like about the overhead console?

 

[Embark With Mark]

Lockers.

I love my Lockers too! When I read Armored mud tires my mind immediately imagined welding armor plating to the outside of a tire.

Skid plates are must!

The best features of the overhead is the ability to stash my go to items, a place for maps, I also loved my stereo and my CB up there. Near future upgrade to the console will be adding a couple of power ports for charging devices that I store up there.
might the other thing I really like is that everything is easier for me to get to now.

I don't know the word for it yet. But thick walled MT's that have some designing to reduce pinch flats and rim leaks. Cooper STT's for example.

Any tire based on an AT carcass, like GY Duratrac, won't last long where I go.

For my Jeep its probably led headlights followed closely by gears.

I have a fully built rock crawler. My favorite mod was building a 4.7L stroker 302hp/325 ft/lbs torque. I also built a bespoke extreme offroad teardrop.

Yes the good year duratracs do not have a good reputation in the areas we go either. They are very thin 2 ply side walls. Ko2 and Cooper STTs have 3 ply and seem to hold up well.

Love the rear drop idea. I have thought of this for the last few years now.

The 4.7 stroker Interests me. Do you have any heat issues?

I built a tailgate table for my TJ (LJ) too and it's been very handy. My favourite mod though is the Hyundai Tiburon seats that I installed. I later removed them and installed Dorman seat heater kits which made them even better.

Not really any heat issues, only in the 110F heat in Moab.

Man that looks like one comfy upgrade. Any modifcation to the seat brackets to make that work? Does the fold and tumble function still work?

 

[Rath]

My Chevy half ton leaf swap on my ranger has been my favorite mod so far, much more articulation, much smoother ride on road (they're longer than stock leafs) and handles the weight far better.

A super close second is my bed cap. I love that thing.

 

[RickR]

My best mod so far is this one.
