There have been plenty of threads poking fun at silly things other people have done to rigs. Whether it was that cursed PO and his/her butchered wiring jobs or some schmuck selling their CJ covered in hurculiner claiming it is a 9k custom paint job, we have seen them all.
Now I say lets point the finger back at our selves. I did something really "rigged" up today and it just got me smiling, I started to think about some of the "fixes" or "mods" I have done over the years. Most of which I thought, at the time, I had done a good job. Now I just face palm at the thought of what I once thought was a job well done and wonder how many times the people who have bought my past rigs off of me have cursed my name as the evil PO.
So lets see em. Whatever you want to call it, redneck engineering, ghetto rigged, you name it. Lets have a good chuckle at our own expense.
Here is mine. I got tired of waiting to drive around my cj and the whole in the transmission well felt like I had the oven open blowing directly into my face. (Anyone who has been to the middle ease knows the feeling) Its not a permanent solution just a temporary one while I wait for my new cover plate to come in the mail but still its pretty rigged up. I just hope it doesnt turn into one of those things that is SUPPOSED to be a temporary bandaid and end up long term
