No place for my BulletPoint phone mount to hold my plow control -

My two cents. Don't look at the problems if you aren't looking for solutions. Springs too light for the plow? Use an airbag in the front springs to bring it back up to height. No place to attach a phone mount? No worries, the aftermarket is working on it now. In other words, if you want a Mojave, go for it.

I want a simple device - preferably keep what I have now. I have need for only one phone - and really, the phone rarely goes up there - mostly the plow control.
The phone is there on occasion when I send a rout from my computer to my phone - so it's all ready go to in the morning when going some place new.
The bulletpoint is ideal for me - compact, strong, out of the way, holds either my phone or the bracket I made for the plow control nicely and leave all the rest of the dash open for our sunglasses and so on. (I LOVE that recess for my sunglasses!)

Aha! There's another problem - can't put air bags in front springs, especially Mojave.
;)
Seriously, originally thought of that as a solution for my Overland - and with the bump stops right there dead-centered in the front springs, and worse in the Mojave - theirs take up the whole inside of the spring (well, almost - they are big)
That's why I ended up with Synergy springs - there wasn't a way to run air bags up front.
It was a perfect solution, though - wonderful ride and control, and hold the plow when necessary, but the dual-rate made for a nice ride when plow was off.

My point was, there is a mounting point under that mat on the dash. Yours will probably bolt right up.

I'm wondering if it's the same basic shape, etc. - their web site would tell I'd hope.
I know it can't work on a 4xe but there's still a little bit of a recess in there on these.

Don’t you have a tractor you could put a $1800 snow pusher on?

you’ve certainly got a lot on that front end. You’ve put a lot of work into yours. Unless it’s giving you issues I’d keep her.

Maybe no airbags in front springs without re-engineering things, but when it comes to people wanting to trade vehicles I have a fallback position. I go into the "devil on the shoulder saying 'do it, you know you want to' mode". Can't help it, as a youth, I had to drive and keep running old, used up junkers. When I reached a point in life where I could afford to drive better, or even new, vehicles, I did.

I got a hot knife and welder that says it can be done.
Your plow just plugs into the forward receiver, correct? Never-mind, looked closer at your mount. But I bet they make a receiver mount.

Got the plow so i could sit in a comfy heated Jeep and plow for an hour instead of being outside on a lawn tractor with a much much smaller blade moving snow for 2 or 3 hours. The JT will move a heck of a lot of snow really fast - and I stay nice and warm. Ideal for having Reynauds, etc. Nice and toasty and FAST. Open garage door, drive out, start plowing. In a hurry? Two passes up the drive might have it mostly cleared as opposed to an hour on a small tractor.
