ammo cases(normally obtainable at wreckers or army surplus stores for less that $15.) make a great center glovebox/toolbox small parts holder... obviously those with vits dont need this but for us poorer Sierra owners, its VERY handy... 'Scuse my mess....

So yes, they do qualify.. I believe a real 'modification' is something that improves the capability and performance of a vehicle over stock. Anything else is 'accessorising'! I would find it hilarious if someone told me that they modded their car with pine tree deodorizers. |

Sierra:pull leaves out and clean up and cut off spring clamps Sierra:extended shackles Spring clamps help control wrap. the flex gained is not worth it. Extended shackles are only a good mod when used with longer leaves. You may get lift but I don't think thats the point. If they are straight up and down they wont improve flex. They need to fitted with longer leaves or move shackle mounts so they are on an angle. |

Redrilling your spring perches/plates to move the axle forward/back. Great for fine tuning for tyre clearance and costs bugger all. |

back flush radiator Radiator Coolant Blind Spot Mirrors Tow Ball cover All worthwhile Mod's threw me there but a google search reveals all... http://www.lyricsvault.info/songs/12829.html Bob Hudson The Newcastle song Dont' you ever let a chance go by, O Lord, Don't you ever let a chance go by. Yes, up in Newcastle they have very strange mating habits. All the young women of Newcastle walk down the main street which is called Hunter Street for reasons that will become obvious later on in the song. All the young men of Newcastle drive down Hunter Street in their hot FJ Holdens with chrome plated grease nipples and double reverse overhead twin cam door handles, sitting eight abreast in the front seat, and they lean out of the window and say real cool things to the sheilas on the footpath, like 'Aah g'day'. And every now and then, of course, one of the young ladies thinks to herself Ummmm she thinks Ummmmm. Chorus Anyway there was this mob of blokes driving down Hunter Street in the front seat of the hot FJ with chrome plated grease nipples and twin overhead foxtails, and the coolest of them all, who got to sit near the window, was young Norm. And they pulled up outside the Parthenon milk bar and standing outside the Parthenon was this beautiful looking sheila. Oooh! Oooh! said young Normie who'd come top of his class in English, Ooooh! he said. So he leaned out of the window, and he said real, real suave like, he said G'day. This nine foot tall Hell's Angel came out of the Parthenon milk bar, looked at Norm and said Arr, what are ya? Norm said What are you? Bloke on the footpath said D'ya want a go, do ya mate, eh? Norm said Yeah, d'you want a go, mate? Bloke on the footpath said Yeah I'll have a go Norm said D'you know who you're picking? The bloke on the footpath said Nah, who am I picking? Norm said You find out And all of a sudden there was a break in the traffic, and as any young Newcastle lad knows- when you're getting monstered by a nine foot tall Hells Angel and there's a break in the traffic.... Chorus

Okay Ive always been a fan of the white writing, but to make that white writing really show up I would coat it in Jiff leave for 5mins then come back with a scrubbing brush and scrub it off. White writing as white as can be without having to buy the white pen.... 
Urm okay now with my cheap mods, well I guess more so fixes. $8 window winder so I could stick my head out the window again when out wheeling $16 Floor bungs from Suzuki so water does fill up my foot wells when Im out swimming around in muddy water. $2.80 shoelace to hold my Snorkel on after it got ripped of the side pillar on a tree last outing.
