Made a phone holder so I can use it as a GPS on road trips. And easy to use while "not" driving. To change songs or make calls. Cost $0 had parts at home. But total cost would be about $6 for paint a screw and a small L-bracket. Also used some double bubble (2 part epoxy) to secure vent phone holder to the L-bracket. Pics to come when I get off work.

Folding shelf on tail gate
Sometimes you just need a place to put your stuff. I'm always looking for a flat surface.
I use this to hold tools and as a work bench. Probably wouldn't hold up too well if you were to sit on it but it is surprisingly strong.
Some paracord is being used for the supports. Originally I was going to use cable but the paracord is easy to work with and doesn't rattle around when the shelf is folded up.
Nutserts are used to hold the aluminum angle to the gate. The shelf is just a piece of pine shelf. The hinge is nothing more than a 1/4 - 20 bolt that threads into a threaded insert on each side.
To help keep the bolt from ripping out of the wood, another piece of angle was used. It distributes the force over a much larger area and keeps the wood from splitting.

We're not worthy! We're not worthy! That is absolutely insane! It looks killer, and don't be surprised if you ever come across a orange jk whose grill is similar. Just sayin! You need to put a patent on that. I could see some company offering this in vinyl after seeing this!

You can buy cheap removable headlight tinting off of ebay and put that over it.
When I'd turn off my headlights at night the display in my jeep would get super bright and just completely f*ck my eyes over. I used the dark black color to tint the display. I used to put it on the display's clear cover, but eventually just opened the instrument cluster up and put it over the particular spots. Also put it over the radio display. One thing that is great about the stuff is that its adhesive doesnt come off the tinting. So you can remove and replace it as many times as you want on a smooth surface.
I also use it on my handheld TVs to make the picture dark. Darker than the TVs' settings would go. Great for discrete tv watching in your jeep at night.
