Some of my friends used to call me MacGyver. Got introduced with that name a couple times. You need something juryrigged... I'm your man.

Juryrigged is awesome. I'm pretty sure it's jerry rig though? Am I wrong?

I agree with you. I've always heard it as jerryrigged.

It's been abused for so many decades im sure you can reliably use either spelling and not be misunderstood.

Lol I may have it wrong. It must be the accent I grew up around, always heard it as juryrigged when spoken. We get lazy with our vowels around here.
