The THINGS YOU WISH THEY MADE thread

[HappyHooligan]

Okay, these are a few things I WISH they made for the 3rd Gen 4RN.

A bolt on rear spoiler

A center dash with the smart radio at eye level

A folding roof rack 3/4 size. where the sides fold up when you need them and fold down when you don't so you can park in parking garages.

A snap on aerodynamic bumper cover for off road bumpers so you don't loose the mpg when on the highway.

probably a lot more... what do you wish they made?

a v8

An actual frame coating. These tin cans rust even if you throw table salt at them.

Oh gosh, where do we start?

A removable sleeping platform for people taller than 6 ft.

Performance intake manifolds

Performance, high flow heads with oversized valves

Underdrive accessory pulleys

Long-tube headers

A TUNABLE ECU

That's my short list anyway.

Aluminum scuff plates, all of them.

My frame is fine.

Yeah, I live in NC, but I’ve been to the beach, and in a shit load of brachish and muddy water a few times, and don’t have an issue with it.

Maybe PM has something to do with it?

I'd settle for a triple locked 3rd gen with a V8 and solid front axle.

The frame does have a coating. It would be nice to have a zinc galvanized dipped + extra coated frame but no manufacturer does that.

I blasted and hot dipped my front and rear bumpers. I love it, super tough finish but it was a pain. It will mess up any internal threads unless you red lock tight in a bolt to protect the treads and any sealed spaces have to be drilled out or they can explode during the dipping process. I might do my frame at some point.

I'm still hoping someone will design a Scangauge holder that replaces the flip down sunglasses holder.

Rear swingout double doors instead of the liftgate

i would add that it can either hold a scangauge or a small ham or CB radio.

we have the ashtray mod for one radio, but so many times i feel the need to run both ham and cb.

The liftgate is nice if you're trying to get at something back there and it's raining!

I took the back cover off my scan gauge. Drilled some small holes in it. Then with some shims to angle it towards drivers side. Screwed it to the cover. Ran a flat cable through the back, across roof to apiller. Still have full function of holder.

 

[calicojax]

How about a good set of "MID" travel front lower control arms.

Aftermarket LED light connectors that plug right into the factory harness.

I'd like something like the roof console ARB makes for the FJ Cruiser .https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.5HV2WXzLabdV1PufEFqwawAAAA&w=300&h=198&c=7&o=5&pid=1.7
