Added wireless Android Auto to both Jeeps. No more cords. There's wireless Car Play adapters too.

How's the lag on that dongle? I've hesitated on ordering one due to hard lag issues between pushing a button on the dash and the phone picking it up.

I certainly plan on keeping it. Have done all the work myself, but welding is not a skill I do well. The part of the axle those welds are on are where the mount attaches to connect the upper control arm. I imagine it may have turned some. When it happened, I bent the lower control arm pretty bad bringing the front tire in a bit. Lower is fixed now, but I am just finding this “new” issue. I am thinking a decent shop could drill out those welds, ensure the upper control arm bracket is located correctly, and weld the holes?
Control arm location check would be good. Clean with a flapper wheel grinder the cracks, get a paint stick and mark their location and keep an eye on them for any movement or leaking. Don’t weld or drill anything without it being broke.

Zero lag. We have it on both jeeps, Google Pixel on one, Samsung Galaxy on the other, takes about 10 seconds to initially connect. Sound quality is like that with the cord. You'll still want a cord to keep the phone charged for long trips, but everyday short trips, just hop in and go.

Who needs hood badging when you have a Bronze Star license plate. Thank you for your service, Brother.

Decided to try something different and wrapped my RSI Smartcap windows with this tough, bedliner-style vinyl—it’s been holding up great so far!

Also bedlined my fenders with what feels like 10 million coats of Raptor X. I’ll post pics later today.

Took the Mojave out for her 2nd elk hunt with my ol' man and sister for her first time, and tagged out—what a memory.

Cheers. 🍻

On my list to do. I hate stickers on cars. I typically debadge all my vehicle. Looks soo much cleaner.
A couple seconds with the heat gun and it peels right off

Got the fenders bedlined with Raptor X and totally forgot I also bedlined the inside of the tailgate while I was at it. Threw on some Alpha Rex USA taillights too—such a huge improvement.

Cheers! 🍻 🤙
