The Croc Pot can combine two of the same type of combat item (two shirts, two pistols, etc.); it will not combine non-combat items such as accessories or vehicles. The Croc Pot menu has two boxes to place items in. The top box serves as the new item's "Style," which dictates its appearance. The bottom box serves as the "Stat," determining the stats of the new item. The item used for Style must match the player's gender. Any item can be used in Stat with the exception of guide items, which can only be used in Style. The Stat item can be either higher or lower in lev el than the Style item.
