Show us your DIY mods was created by Sandez
I thought I would start a topic for everyone to show off your DIY mods you have done and to have them all in a single topic so that it can be easily browsed by anyone.

The point of the topic is to give others inspiration on modifications they could do to their Jimny and hopefully also give them a guide on how to do the mod as well. This is not for DIY installations of off the shelf mods such as lift kits, cb radio etc. but if you made it yourself then it's fine.

Keep it one modification per post.

I would like for people not to make general comments/thank yous about mods people do so the topic doesnt get overly cluttered. To help prevent this I would like people who contribute to provide as much detail on the modification and its install as possible, so that if someone wants to do the same mod they already have the details rather than having to ask. Ideally, try to include the following:
  1. Title (Winch Bar, Rear interior light)
  2. Parts (What materials etc. were used)
  3. Cost (Per part preferrably, or total)
  4. Links (Links to materials or parts if possible)
  5. Pictures (Finished install first, followed by installation/preparation pics if available)

So, lets see what you have done

iPhone Holder

Parts:
TomTom iPhone 3GS Cradle

Cost:
$130 AUD (Already had mine, broken, hence the mod)

Finished install (cable now goes behind the iPhone through the air vents)

Attachment 3.jpg not found



Without iPhone

Attachment 1.jpg not found



Attached with a small screw behind

Attachment 2.jpg not found



This allows me to run any iPhone app, TomTom, MudMaps etc without it blocking my view and it wont fall off or move while 4wd'ing. The install can also be reversed and the hole for the screw would be hidden by the vent when replaced.
