Best Mod under $20

[superds]

Ziptie throttle cable mod. Approx $0.24

What does this do for you? Is it like cruise control?

No, it just shortens up your throttle cable so that you get your butterfly valve opened just a bit further to increase your max RPM's.


My best mod under $20 is paint and sandpaper. I scuffed up all my black stuff (mirrors, doorhandles, and wiper arms) and matched them to my paint.

Please tell me you can get another one that cheap . . .I'll pay you double!!!

As nice as it would be to get double I managed to be in the right place at the right time

Plus I am 99% sure it's for an S-10 Blazer, but that's what is for.

last place trucking company i was working for, we would we would replace the older sealed beam headlight with a set of diamond cut beams, after talking with the parts counter guy i got a set of those, a set of 90/130 watt h4 bulbs for free, it just cost me $15 for the relay kit and the wiring

You basically stole that thing

It didn't look that great when I got it, it had a lot of rust under the powdercoat... so I stripped it and gave it a heavy coat of bedliner... so all told it was probably closer to $40 by the time it got in the truck.

Hand throttle, made from a bicycle shifter, makes wheeling with a 5 speed SOOO much easier.

I've heard/seen a lot of people doing this, but I've never had a problem killing it too much out wheeling... pry cuz I'm either at 5k or have the clutch in and idling... there is no in between

Kinda like a cruise control for the trails or something?

Or do ya go all boat status?
