Favorite Mod Under $100

[Mollysdad]

The Equalizer hitch will sit on a small Harbor Freight dolly without any modifications. I then take a large Rubbermaid tote and use it as a cover.
Dolly $7.99 on sale, which is often.

Installed these clothes hooks from IKEA. Each box has two hooks.

I did have to buy four "L" brackets to hold my spring bars in place. Cost; Maybe $20.00 total. Center section holds the small pieces.

Hi, my hitch cart was good for use at home, in my garage, and on my driveway. My wife said that I should take it on trips with us. Well these little casters won't work well on dirt and gravel camp sites. So I shopped around and found the parts needed to put off road wheels on my hitch cart. Now I have to skid steer it, but that's easy to do. With the way that I installed the axles and wheels my cart stayed very close to the original height. I may make a pull handle next.

Hi, we used to have our cell phones and our lap tops. This took all four of my 120 volt outlets. Now we still have our cell phones, but we replaced our lap tops with Tablets. I decided to install [with 3M two sided tape] a four port USB power / charging station on my credenza. Fumbling around trying to see which way to plug things in was a problem too. I bought some model paint and used paper hole reinforcements as stencils. The USB symbols go up for the phones and one of the tablets, so I painted a blue dot on each of them. My tablet uses a type "C" connection which will go either way. I painted this one silver. All of the USB connectors to the power bar plug in up-side-down, so I painted all of them yellow. Now it's easy to connect our electronics and only take one of my four outlets. Total cost for all supplies and two power bars, [one for our house] about $75.00 or less.

Hi, I have been thinking about this for a while. Today I put it together. This is my clip-on generator rain cover. Cost about $25.00 for all of the parts.

Very functional. Can you list the parts and where you purchased them. I have a 2200w Yamaha.

LEDs above the front cabinet. Powered by USB, so I added a 120v > USB adapter in the cabinet where the DVD lives.

Hi, The first thing that I needed was "pipe clips". My Yamaha handles are 7/8" and I bought 20mm pipe clips from Amazon. They fit tight and pull off pretty easy. I bought stainless steel allen bolts, body washers, and locking nuts from Ace Hardware. And finally I bought the plastic from Lowes; I believe it was 16"s X 20"s and I didn't have to cut it. I spaced the bolt holes about an inch wider, from side to side to put a curve in the cover.

Hope this helps.

Clips on the back of the European Hinges so they don't come off. I think it was about $10.

Thank you for whoever started this thread and for those who have revived it. I have found so many ideas for my 20 year old Bambi. I'm not a big fan of anything that requires drilling, cutting, or more than the most basic electrical modification. That said, here is my new to-do list, compiled from this thread. Of course, 18 mods under $100 will still cost over $1,000 and ought to keep me busy for quite some time.....

Funnel can be used alone for adding diluted bleach solution for sanitizing.

i like your idea. i did something similar for slightly more than $5.00. I bought a extra filler cover and bored a hole for a short piece of hose. One advantage is it tightly covers the opening during use.

Irish Whiskey is not a mod! In my unit, whisky, beer and wine come as standard equipment.

Great idea! I might suggest that you extend the one side that would also provide some shelter to where your outlets/where you plug in your power cord.

Ditto on the "to do list"
