I would so use that and keep a little stylus in my pocket to dial with.

I guess not, I'll read what you posted and try to be less of one. It's probably not going to help much.
Aaah, they tried to tie down the jeep on a trailer using the sway bar mount cutouts. How logical. Probably mistook them for those weld-on axle tube mounts like below that you can buy? But even then, how crazy do you have to be to not see other stuff attached on the mounts and ask the question "Is this really a tie down point?"
"How do tie down a jeep on a trailer?" is up there with discussions of "what is the best steering for my Jeep?". People LOVE to argue why criss-crossing is better and safer. Just like Steel vs Aluminium discussions.
When I was growing up .. dad decided to finally get phone service for home (with long distance!) after we moved rental homes yet again and the new home did not have a convenient commercial street corner phone booth within walking distance (these are surprisingly still common in India even after the cell phone proliferation).
It was a magical day when the phone got delivered from the government contractor (that also did the line installation). Back then, telephone service was just a utility like water/electricity that you paid the state government for. The phone looked just like the one below, in the same shade of green. It had a commanding ring. I had STRICT orders not to play with the phone, but the draw was irresistible. It was such a treat when I would be allowed to dial a number .. see the dial go back to it's "home" position after every number .. eventually hear the phone ring on the other end as if by magic. I absolutely loved that rotary dial. I also remember being amazed that the phone would still work when the power was out (which would happen frequently esp in the summers).
After some years, we eventually got an updated phone delivered with push buttons and the magic was just gone. Somehow, dialing a number had lost it's magic and the phone felt more of a nuisance than a convenience.
Years later, in undergrad, I learned the fascinating history of telecommunications and how these older phones worked, and how push-button/DTMF technology came into place and all that jazz. I did not specialize in the communications/networking fields but that rotary phone will always have a special place in my heart.
Do you really see any good place on the driver side of your front axle for those?

What does the one from Steiny look like? Maybe they designed something without fucking it up.
Our first phone was older than that, before all the ugly pastel colors... it was basic black. I still remember my parents using pay phones with a separate microphone on the main unit and an ear piece you held with your hand.
Oh wait, I used one that was even older. It was the only phone in an classic old hotel built in the late 1800's my ex-wife & I stayed in. In that very rural part of California on Route 199 that leads into Oregon there was no modern phone service available. Not even dial service. You had to listen for the proper ring sequence, like two long rings and one short ring, it was out in the lobby. Its microphone was on the front of the wall unit and a separate ear piece that had to be held. I felt like I had stepped backwards through a time portal. And calling it was and adventure too, it might take 10-15 minutes before you could actually talk with the hotel since it was also on a party line.
I just cut off some hangy downies that were there (well, over to the right where their lower shock mounts are)! No thank you!
You have to understand that the story I wrote out earlier happened in the late 80s-very early 90s in one of the 4 big metros back home. Looking back, that was right around the time when things kind of started to explode economy wise in the country given they started to relax a lot of things w.r.t privatization and international companies participating.
It's always nice to add one or two more tie downs straight back as a brake against forward motion.
Ahhh India in 1992…remember it well, I built a float glass plant in Ankleshwar, Gujarat. It was as they say “ The very first cold roll form clad building in all of India “
They aren't even trying!Front photo is left as an exercise to the buyer.
It's like they know
My ex father in law worked for Ma Bell and he explained to me that you didn't really want to be holding the pair of phone wires back then if someone called the number they were for. He said the shock didn't bother him since he was used to it but most weren't. Also why they worked when the power was out.
