Lets start a thread for people to list the best mod and the worst mod they have made to their Vehicle. One of my vehicles happens to be a 2010 Jeep Wrangler, but the same best mod / worst mod request goes for any vehicle. Please try to either include a picture of the best mod, or a link to a web page.

I'll start.

Best Mod: Hot Head Headliners. http://hotheadheadliners.com/

These headliners top the list of mods to my Jeep because they have done the most to improve the overall driving experience. They decrease interior temperature and greatly improve the effectiveness of the airconditioning system in summer, and will likely have a similar beneficial effect on the heating system in the winter. They decrease wind noise and resonance of the hard top, and make the Jeep much quieter inside. They decrease glare and brightness inside the Jeep. And they even improve the way the stereo system sounds. I'm very impressed, and think they are well worth the money. Installation is rated "simple", and took me and my wife less than half an hour.

Worst mod: Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with kevlar tires (35/12.50R-17)

I've owned a whole lot of tires in the 35 years I've been four wheeling, and have owned more sets of Goodyear tires than I can count. I've had good luck with their product before, but not with the Goodyear MT/R with kevlar tires I bought in June this year. It appears that Goodyear has let quality control drop to all time lows. This set of tires is the poorest quality set of tires that I have owned in the last 17 years. I swear they are not round, or are not built correctly. They flat spot differently each and every time I park the vehicle. Sometimes there is actually no flat spotting, but other times there is severe flat spotting to the point that you can watch the hood of the Jeep visibly bob up and down as you drive along, and at other times the flat spotting will be anywhere between the two extremes. The thing is, when the flat spotting is there it never goes away at slow speeds. You can drive for thirty miles around town, and the tires are lumpy and bumpy the whole while. Once speed is above 40 mph the flat spotting smooths out, but at speeds over 60 mph an out of balance hopping starts, and continues to worsen as speed increases. I've had the tires rotated on the rims (OEM rims), and I've had the tires rebalanced three times (4 times total), and it makes no difference.

Have you tried having them trued?

The closest place that can true tires is 250 miles away. The closest place that can even road force balance them is 50 miles away.

Best mod by far would have to be a Black Bear Custom Tune :thumbs:

Worst mod: I honestly haven't done anything I regret or that has backfired on me other that having 2 of my led bulbs go out, which were warrantied no problem

Best mod, definitely a tune or maybe the wheels.
Worst mod, chrome door handles or maybe that 80 mm TB. Thanks Jenna, for telling me.

Worst mod was the second exhaust setup I did on my 97. Did true duals with glasspacks angled 45* out the side of the bed in front of the rear tire. Liked everything about it except when we first put them on they were too low and ended up leaving them in the access lane to the farm before they got moved up.

Best mod was my wheatley tune but I'm sure that will be surpassed when I pull the trigger on a blackbear.

Oh Tylerrrrrrr!
Yes? :lol: I don't know I'm starting to get addicted to them, I swear my truck is a tad faster because of the extra flow. I'm debating on whether to take them off or not, they sound so damn good!

No. No it is not. Two exhaust leaks are not going to increase performance. :facepalm:

As for the topic of this thread, best mod has been the 6.0/cam/converter/trans/headers. Worst was either the Blowmaster, which is now gone, or the bull bar, which is now gone.

Anything I didn't like about my truck, I took off. :dunno:
