Added phone mount solution today. Like most who have looked to do this job, my research led me to BulletPoint Mounting Solutions for the mount and arm and Carolina Metal Masters for the grab handle ball. I had considered Ram Mounts but I liked the BMS better. That pretty much made me choose to...
I got lucky. When I met her she already knew how how drive a manual which was good because I drove a 2005 TJ 6spd. After 4 months of dating we went on a National Parks tour (12 of them) through western CO, southern UT, and northern AZ and she drove half the distance. Needless to say we got...
