Another good mod if you keep anything dirty in the trunk a lot is you can pull up the trunk carpet and sound material (you may notice a little more road noise, I did it and I barely noticed a difference and I have musician's ears) and put down some Herculiner. It's like cheap Rhino Liner, still does the job, but only costs like $30 a can. I did the whole trunk with half a can, and I plan on doing all the floors once my Disco is a trails only rig.

Sorry Mike, must have missed it the first time. Pretty much anything. The point of the thread is that you can say any mod you want weather it's for a hard core trail rig mod or just a soccer mom Disco.

i had an antenna for my cb mounted on my roof rack, until i went haulin azz into a casino parking garage and snapped that sucker off... now i have a smaller much more flexible one, and i mounted my radio on my overhead bin, just above the interior light so its up out of the way...
I'm running a 102" stainless steel whip with a 6" HD spring off my back bumper now. Awesome range and it will flex in every direction imaginable.

Mike, I think its just a generic "share your ideas" topic, not intended for just one person's use. Just a chance for everyone to throw out some unique ideas that arent too expensive.
