Most economical Mods?

[Ronnie]

I saw this on a tv show named hack my life. Basically split part of a pool noodle and place the result on the lip of a bucket to create a padded porta porta potty. One improvement I would make would be to put a plastic bag in the bucket first. I jury rigged one with some scrap noodle I had in the garage.

I just ordered this head unit to replace the factory piece of &@#$! It's pretty economical and has great reviews.

@BigN8 Let me know what you think about this head unit after you get it installed. I am trying to decide whether to get something like this or a Fusion HU. Big difference in price. Unfortunately, my boat is not like my truck...not in it everyday. Hard to justify the cost. I still have the original HU and added this BT transmitter/receiver for $40 ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085HOM4K...UTF8&colid=3QBVY3OUVS1D2&coliid=IMX4OIXLPGB74 ) to have BT connectivity for music. Works really well and sounds good with my Polk speakers and MBQuart amp. Only drawback is it has to be recharged after a days use.

Here is a pic of the setup and one of my cheap mods.

Plastidip your trailer...40 bucks

Plastidip your trailer...40 bucks

This reminds me of this infomercials that Show a filthy car with a scratch, put on a little scratch repair paste, and Presto! The entire car looks like it just came out of the showroom. The cleaning of the car enhances the perception of what the scratch paste actually does.

In these pics, those sexy mag wheels do the same thing. . . . makes me want to plasti-dip my trailer.

Will do. May be a few weeks before I actually do the install.

Hey, can someone send me the link to the Stoltz bow roller that everyone is using? Would love to add this mod as I'm driving 1400 miles in May to the keys. Hate to see the bow get beat up any more.

LED's....spent more on the 12 pack than I did on supplies. Seriously!! Light strips were $4...switches $2 both purchased through amazon. Now, I did have to wait a little since they came from China but they work perfectly...just look at my avatar.

@USMCDevilDog...This is the link for the Stoltz bow roller I use, but you'll want to measure for the width of yours. They make a 3" and also a 4".

Get the 4", I am in the middle of the return process with Amazon. Learned that the hard way, haha.

Thanks man, you guys are great! Just ordered.

 

[Vedner19]

@OrangeTJ...about 3 hours total, prep and paint. I clean the trailer thoroughly with a citrus degreaser and wash off residue. Then tape everything not needing paint. Spray the first coat on. By the time you get the first coat on you can go back to where you started and start the the 2nd coat. I continue this for 4-5 coats.

I put those little LED puck lights with motion sensors that are battery powered you find at COSTCO into the head compartment and compartment behind the console. for under $20 bucks we can now see in there.

Nice screen name @USMCDevilDog . . . . .

Another cheap noodle mod. A short piece on the end of the electrical cord when charging batteries keeps it from falling before plugging in yet still allows it to pull free should I ever get too excited and pull the boat out of the garage without disconnecting. Have you ever seen someone drive off from the gas station with the nozzle still in their car? I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it; but that was only after I flinched when the disconnect broke away!
