Default Your cheapest mod thread..

My cheapest one I´ve done, less than $15 total for relay, mini-fuse tap, etc.. Wiring a relay to automate turning the TCS to off by default.

Spliced in, soldered back, zip tied to run back to the kick-panel:




Mounted with 3m double-sided to the SJB, using bolt just below main console connection cable for ground:

My cheapest mod is really lame. I unscrewed my shorty antenna and put a little press-button plastic tab into the hole.

Cost: free
Cost of plastic button: free! I found it on my sidewalk in front of my house!

I think mine was my shorty antenna; store bought for about $20... Not including the cheapo, faux chain-link license plate frame from Wally World.

I'm not sure I'd brag about a drop-in air filter. That's almost right up there with the TB spacer mod.
