What Hacks/Tips Have You Done To 'Improve' Your SJ?
Here's a couple of mine....
Rain and debris cover, I park outside most of the year so used to be plagued by stuff blown into the bottom of my heater box, thankfully I have the de rigueur access hole now.
As a bonus I get less behind glove box water leaks now as well.
Solution? a trimmed strip of magnetized vinyl from Ebay, plus a nylon sleeping bag tie for a tear off loop and an old spare wheel cover decal.
Those SJ door handles must have been designed for Geisha girl hands! solution? some rubber door stops and longer M Screws.
It feels like closing a Merc door until you hear the clink as apposed to the clunk of it shutting.
Show and tell what you've done

I really need to get a cupholder, today I spilt potnoodle (college life ) all over my passenger seat because of the lack of one :(
So just now I improvised after my trip to McDonald's , in no way is this permanent but I had the spray can in the car and seized the moment haha

Re: What Hacks/Tips Have You Done To 'Improve' Your SJ?
A bulkhead behind the front seats made out of an old tailgate is one of my favourite additions, stops anything in the back sliding under the seats, provides somewhere to fit extra speakers and a storage pocket and I have also screwed a bike bottle holder onto it for a cup holder since this pic was taken, works a treat, I've built one to go in my Lwb as well.
