The Eric Throttle

Posted on February 4th, 2011

By Tony and Eric

 This may be the best and cheapest mod I have ever made. I call it the Eric Throttle because the first place I ever saw one was in his rig.   A left over mountain bike brake lever and a $5 set of cables are all you need to  make up this  throttle that is attached to your stick shift.  Read more...

There are a lot of things you can do to your rig that don’t cost a lot of money or time.   Plain and simple good ideas that are usually cheap or free.  And some of them can make a huge difference in how you wheel.  And still others are just plain fun.  Read more...

Interior winch controls

Posted on February 4th, 2011

All it took was one day in the rain with a traditional remote hanging out the window and I knew there had to be a better way. My solution was to install switches in my console to control my front and rear winches. In the picture, the silver toggles are my winch controls. One for each winch and a master switch so my dog doesn’t operate the winches.  The red light indicates when the winch master switch has been flipped on.  Read more...

Rear Cargo Box

As most of you know 60’s don’t really have a place to safely stash tools and extras.  No trunk but it is a wagon after all so I don’t expect one.  So what I did was create a secure place to keep my tools and a bunch of other stuff.  The frame work is steel and there is a provision for locking it up.  Not only does it keep things secure but it also prevents them from flying around on the trail.  There is also more than one way into this box.  If for some reason I cannot open my tailgate for access, there is a large hatch on top that is removable.  The top is stout enough to keep using it for even more storage and I can attach tie downs to it anywhere I feel like drilling a hole.  Read more...

Tailgate Storage

Posted on February 3rd, 2011

By Tony K

Cut open your tailgate!  There is a an amazing amount of space available for storage within the tail gate.  WagonGear makes a really slick door for this area but I guess I am a little cheap for that.

I used a jig saw to open up the sheet metal, filled it full of spare parts then snapped the carpeted panel over it all.  The panel stays in place on it’s own but the toolbox/storage box is right up against it when closed so nothing falls out.
