Heres my solution to the lack of cup holders in older XJ's.
Just a standard water bottle holder for a bike. All switches are usable with no interference. And it beats the plastic one u buy from the dealer. That i'm assuming would break if it was bumped at anything below freezing. Hey and it doesn't look to bad when its holding a drink and its +100F out

My favorite mod that I've done, is the Power Inverter W/Outlets in the cargo area. I did a write up over on Naxja awhile back, i'll just post picks with a brief summary above them.
Mounted 1,000 Watt Xantrex power inverter, underneath passenger seat.
Plug a standard 3 prong extension cable into one of the outlets and run it under the carpet towards the rear passenger panel in the cargo area
Measure 3 plug outlet to be used
Cut hole in rear passenger cargo area panel
Plug extension cord into the 3 plug outlet, press outlet into the hole (hole was undercut in order to be a snug fit.)
And there ya have it, 3 outlets in the rear cargo area, and still one available under the passenger seat. I'm thinking about doing another outlet in the dash somewhere. I've ran everything from work lights, to grinders, to drills. I also keep a long 3 outlet extension cord under the rear seat for extended range usage.

^^^^That is TIGHT!
I'm going to do that this week!
Myself I just bent back one pin on a relay to allow my high beams and fog lights to stay on together.
Does that count?

did a little custom work to the stock air box to fith the 3.5" K7N pipe and house the round K&N air fliter! its awesome!, draws from behind driver headlight.
Check out the stock fog light! this is some awesom fab. CLEAR fogs! I cut off the stock lens and epoxyed 1/8" clear plastic over the top. then I cut another sheet and epoxyed it to the inside of the corner chrome trim so its a bug and rock sheild for the fog light! double layered, no more cracks!
