Got permission to start a new one up.

Post all your homebrew mods here.

Remember this thread is worthless without pics

My $11.42 quick disconnect sway bar. Got all hard ware at tractor supply.put one pin with washers where the bolts came from. Also how I keep the sway bar it's self up out of the way. Check for clearance after and all was good. Used all factory parts as well

I like your bracket idea to hold the sway bar up, cheap and simple haha

Did the 97 door conversion onto my 93. I had the windows held in with duct tape for a few weeks till i finally snagged these out of the JY. Didnt have any crank handles on the JY jeep so i used these:

I acctually really like them lol, makes it nice if i need a pair of pliers on the road/trail. I'm gonna end up finishing the doors in sheet metal

yeah i bought them originally just because the ones i had were rusted out. Having the full glass instead of that piece of crap fixed triangle is awesome. I stuck with the 93 mirrors though just because i dont like the bubble look of the newer ones. I also did the quick door mod while i was at it.

Still have to get a 2 prong plug for the quick disco speakers but they work great. Real easy install too.
