Let's see your best bodges

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Any bodges count that you've come across or done yourself! See now you'd of thought cable ties would make good mounts :hahaha: is that some dodgy fibreglassing!? Or some kind of paste lol

My SJ kept cutting out, when i was in the middle of nowhere. Turned out one of the blanking bungs had fallen off the carb. Only thing i had to hand to fill the hole was a pencil. Sorry to say it stayed like this for a couple of weeks.
