My favourites were: (no pics sorry)

- string activated windscreen wipers (lasted about a month)
- cable tie transfer box mounts (lasted about a mile)
- cut down trailer light board screwed onto the back door (last about half a year haha)

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.
