Thought I'd get this thread back on track. Not sure if anyone has used these yet, but:
I've been using a velcro strap around the B pillar molding to fix the seatbelt flap, but never liked the look. I found these and for under $5, they seem to work perfectly. There are actually 2 channels to hold the belt, but I used the inside one because it snaps closed. I just stuck them on with some velcro to test, but will probably paint them black and them use some 3M tape for a permanent install.

Just a nicely decorated garage thanks to my wife thinking all my old pictures don't match the new decor. So now my garage has a couple of Ducks Unlimited prints along with some other random prints - I think they go nicely with the old license plates and other standard garage junk.

I know a lot of people ask about mirror relocation kits and what not but the easiest/cheapest solution I could find, since my doors are always off, was buying two 2" blind spot mirrors and sticking them to the closed air vents on each side of the Jeep. This way you can actually adjust the mirrors by rotating the air vents! I haven't taken a pic of mine yet but hopefully you understand what I mean.
Another cheap/fun mod was making my own grab handles with paracord. I have two in the front on the roll bars and two in the back attatched to the back of the front seats!
Hope this gives you guys some ideas!

Magnetic Pistol Holster...
I bought some 1" x 3" magnets and 2-sided tape at Harbor Freight.
I taped the magnets inside the center console on the driver's side at the front of the box.
They hold my Kahr CM-9 just right. The left side of the slide is gripped by the magnets and it is canted almost exactly as it is in my carry holster. The tip of the barrel rests against the bottom of the console box.
I've done a little boulder crawling in the Wasatch Mountains and Fins 'n' Things in Moab. It hasn't come loose yet.
But I'm going to glue the magnets in place. I wanted to prove the concept.

I took a bag and strapped it to my back gate on my jk. I keep a 10ft tow rope, a full body harnes, my soft top window bag and my soft top securing bag inside when not in use. There was just enough room to put a homemade first aid kit in a old camo bag and use the snaps to hold it in place. Its easy access and fast removal if need be.
I also made a metal bar that in the middle of the cockpit just above your head for my cobra cb radio and 3 zipper bags. I use the bags to put my phone camra wallet and other loose things in when I hit the trails. Works well for a spare set of sunglasses too.
If anyone hasnt done it yet and you need to find a way to keep you cb cable safe use the zipper padding surrounding the upper frame of your JK. I did it and have no loss on tx/recv ability of my system.
Pics to follow when the Jeep is outa the shop
