How about showing off your DIY modifications? I'm sure there are plenty of home-brewed modifications in this group ;D
Oh please include year, make, model and the intended purpose of your mod...

1998 Jeep TJ Reduction of Interior Temperatures (Especially Above Transmission Tunnel) My most recent mod was applying a "home-brewed", painted-on thermal barrier to the interior portions of the tub/body prior to applying Dupli-Color Bed Armor; creating results similar to "LizardSkin" ( www.lizardskin.com/car-ceramic-insulation.html). I suppose the project could be performed in one full weekend; but, since I carried the bed-liner over the tubs upper lip and over the door thresholds I took extra time and care to ensure (near) perfection. I saved well over a hundred bucks and interior temperatures have been DRASTICALLY reduced by utilizing my mix, the only draw-back in utilizing two separate products is allowing for each of the products to fully dry and/or cure, essentially doubling the drying time. I did consider skipping the paint and adding the InsulAdd directly to the Bed Armor; but, I wanted an easily repairable material protecting the thermal barrier (InsulAdd). Note: The InsulAdd comes in a resealable package with the instructions directing you to combine with 1 Gallon of any paint, I utilized half of the package for the Jeep's Interior and will mix the other half with some high temp paint and apply to the engine side of the Jeeps firewall and particular areas beneath the Jeep (near transmission, above exhaust components, etc.); any remaining "High Temp Mix" will be applied to my barbecue grills.STEPS- Wash all metal surfaces with a degreaser and rinse with plain water.
- Sand/rough-up all surfaces with a (Red) 3m Scratch pad or sandpaper and vacuum up dust/debris.
- Wipe down all surfaces with a Paint Prep Spray just prior to applying the insulating mix.
- Measure out 2 Level Cups (half a package) of "InsulAdd" Ceramic Micro-Bead Insulation; I purchased the product (for $15.95) directly from InsulAdd @ www.insuladd.com/product/paint-additive.html.
- Mix the InsulAdd with a 1/2 Gallon of RustOleum Paint using a paint auger and power drill.
- Paint on several coats of the mix over all interior tub surfaces; I applied many more coats over the Transmission Tunnel and the Firewall (typical HOT spots).
- Let dry according to RustOleum's directions between coats and before applying the bed-liner product.
- Apply several coats of Dupli-Color Bed Armor as per the supplied instructions.
- Let the Bed Armor cure according to the instructions.
- Enjoy your well nice cool, well protected ride!!!
I have taken pictures and will add them to my post later on... |

ok does anyone have onboard air that is from a ac compressor? if so is it worth the money to do this mod or is it best to get a compressor from someone like ARB?
