Explorer I
Everyone likes to talk about the big mods they do to their rigs such as lifts, tires, armour, lights, storage systems, etc. But I want to hear what small or lesser talked about mods (even free mods) that you really like or have seen.
I'll start with a few simple ones. First I cut and rewired my cigarette outlets so they are always on to charge my phone, not just when the truck is on. It runs off my second battery.
Second, I wired a switch between my second battery and my stereo and with the use of some cut off diods I can turn on the stereo with the truck off. It will only drain the deep cycle second battery. I like this to play tunes when I'm out camping since the sound system is already pretty good. Of course it's not routing the full power of the stereo through that switch.
Lastly, one just for fun, a cheap air horn as a second horn. It just a little louder than the stock horn but it sounds much more amusing, like a food truck horn. It's wired through a button near my left knee and I can quickly tap it to do a much quieter/friendly bop of the horn.
If you got a mod that just makes your rig just a little better, I want to hear. Pictures appreciated
