    Phone Case / Magnet Mount

    That works. I got tired of the metal on the back of the case so when I got a new phone and needed a new case I got a MagSafe. I have a ring that came with my magnets. I'lll send it to you if you want.

    Phone Case / Magnet Mount

    I have iPhone but in my experience you need both MagSafe case and mount even if you are not using it to charge. I had to change out my standard magnets when I got a MagSafe case and switch to MagSafe magnets. I use bulletpoint for car phone mounts and amazon for cases.

    TJ Unlimited Rubicon Front Driveshaft U-Joint

    If its a factory skid it's a good idea to drop it and check for rust. Even relatively rust free jeeps have rust between skid and frame. It's only 10 fasteners to get it down. Support the transmission with a jack stand or something before dropping the skid.

    Towing a U-Haul Trailer

    In many states you dont need trailer brakes until about 2500 lbs of trailer and cargo. The small trailers are not rated that high so no need for brakes. And I dont believe any uhaul trailer has electric brakes. If they are large enough to need brakes they have hydraulic surge breaks. I...

    Side mirrors: old style versus new

    I got a set of 03-06 OEM off eBay a few years ago but last time I checked the price from same supplier had about trippled. If you can find a set of JL factory doors off mirrors they are simply the 03-06 TJ mirrors with a bracket to attach to the JL. Even from the dealer they are cheaper than a...

    How many of you outdoor cook with a Traeger? If not what is your BBQ rig of choice?

    While reading this I was thinking the smoker was going and your brisket dumped out into the yard.

    My brother in law threw his Traeger in the trash and got a Recteq. He loves it.

    I'm not even sure pellet smokers were on the market when I got my Kamado Joe but I am over messing with vents and monitoring temps.

    WTB: 03-06 full door mirrors

    There are some on eBay at times. I did buy a set of OEM new a few years ago there but the last time I checked the price had about tripled what I paid. If you find some JL doors off mirror kits those are just the TJ mirrors you are looking for with brackets.

    What do you all think of vertical pellet smokers? I found this one yesterday and at $750 it would be on order if it was in stock. https://www.grillagrills.com/product/4001294

    New Wrangler JL Unlimited VS Used 2022-23 Lexus GX460

    In my case it's really just very low expenses. I'm single and kids college is paid for.

    New Wrangler JL Unlimited VS Used 2022-23 Lexus GX460

    I would have never got a new Jeep or a 4 door Jeep but then they put a Hemi in them.

    Rubicon Locker Mystery Mod

    A few years ago I found a thread here and on other websites that I used as a guide. I cant remember exactly what pins I jumped but my factory switch still works as from the factory with restrictions. My front/rear switches that I installed will lock the axle under any circumstances. The...
