One of the best looking Jeeps I’ve seen. Color combo is on point and love the way you have it setup. Just subbed, looking forward to watching more of your videos. Well done sir!
Hands down, one of the best looking 2 door Jeeps I've seen on UA-cam. You've done an awesome job on it man!! I think the g u n holster is my favorite thing.
Man, I have to hand it to you, your videos are the most thorough and precise with very practical and useful information, it’s evident that you know plenty about the subject and you’re a natural in explaining things. Thanks for sharing.
Will do! I think what I’m actually going to do is keep the tablet mounted on top of the dash and my phone on the lower mount. I trust the phone mount completely not to fall off. And with the tablet being mounted in that tray, it can never “fall off” so I think I’ll be fine keeping it up top.
UPDATE! Just got back from a weekend trip of off-roading and camping. Did several trails ranging from gravel to large technical rocks and the magnets worked perfectly. I ran my tablet on top of that dash mount and it never once popped off, and I ran my phone on the side next to my radio and it never came off. Even while using my phone case. If I swapped positions from the tablet and phone, the tablet may have came off, but I didn't test that. I preferred to have the tablet up top anyway for visibility. Very pleased with how well they worked. I also got another steelie magnet and stuck it to the back of one of my orange GMRS hand held radios and stuck it to my metal cb mount. Also never came off once. Magnets FTW!!
The little things are the most satisfying I remember hooking up all my controls for my light bars and winch in my truck and it was just so satisfying how everything comes together
Hell yea, I’ve been using magnet mounts for awhile and it’s so much better than those ram mounts. As long as there’s direct contact for the magnet and the plate it holds good. My 7 inch tablet didn’t budge on some pretty bouncy trails. Didn’t even think about one for the CB I need that now
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
magnetic CB mic mount .... who'd have thought it....genius i love it lol... i wish i had a nice place like that to mount my CB in my Tacoma instead of next to my leg
Ram Mounts make a replacement center rearview mirror mount that adds a RAM ball below and in front of the windshield mirror. You just unscrew then unclip your old and mount the new one in the same location. You could then mount your GoPro there and it would be in area out of your view and recording from a spot that is cleared by your wipers if you film when its raining or for mud....
I’m a big fan of your videos right here in Costa Rica I myself have owned a TJ 97 for several years and just recently fell in love with after some upgrades keep up the good work brother
Have that same Uniden speaker, try mounting it on the left side sportbar that runs from the windshield frame to the main rollbar; used three wire ties on the speaker bracket securing to that side bar at the rear where it meets the rear bar, then ran the cord under the sport bar padding. I run with the doors off and top off on the highway withbmy loud mud terrains and needed that speaker closer to my ear. Speaker is never in my way and works great and is non-permanent.
Love your content. One of the reasons why I bought my TJ. Sad to see you let yours go, but I understand you wanting to move on to something bigger and better. Good luck. Looking forward to more videos.
Being a trucker I seen a lot of awesome Cb ideas. This one not many think about but it works great. I am building my 2010 JKU for overlanding gonna be coming to Arkansas to hit some trails. Living in Louisiana it's the closes place to go with go views and good trails. Be safe out there and keep coming with the videos.
I will be doing this , this Winter have several things I want to do One thing for sure is to replace my play system looking for voice command right now. Thank you for Sharing.
Great ideas. One of my first mistakes while in the trails was realizing i had no service and couldn't use my phones GPS. I like the idea of the tablet and magnet mounts
My GoPro has a swivel mount so I can record myself while driving or record the road depending on what I want, it helps if u don’t like mounting multiple mounts in different places
The Scorsche mount may come unglued eventually. Well, it took years for mine too. But super glue will easily solve that minor issue. Love that pistol holder btw. I had never seen that before, and will be purchasing one now!
Just a heads up on that magnet mount. I ran that for some time, but had issues with all different double-sided adhesive tape failing over time. Heat and cool cycles are the killer. I ended up going with a RAM mount for my phone and also for the CB mic.
I'm actually experiencing that with my CB mic mount. If it's super hot, my magnetic ball will come off the dash. The phone adhesives have been fine so far as they have a better surface to adhere to. I found a some industrial strength two sided adhesive that's working great to keep them on. Appreciate the comment!
Thanks for the hand throttle idea! The Jeep is slow and when driving for long on the highway, my right foot starts to hurt. I looked into cruise control, but it's really expensive and hard to find in Europe. The hand throttle would work great
that color of the jeep is epic. wish i had the $$ to paint my white TJ. and love the color match center dash! You'll probably need to relocate the CB mic though, you're going to knee that constantly getting in and out of the jeep. I also have that same CB mount and love it.
Good stuff ! I'm really enjoying your channel . Since you're wanting to go magnetic look at mob armour mounts . Super quality stuff . I also live in Arkansas so it's awesome to see this stuff !
Really awesome video and ideas. I just got a 98 TJ and in process of doing a few upgrades and these are some great ideas - just ordered some from amazon. I'm hoping to learn more about the GPS/offline options as I live in Montana, would love to see a video on the Gaia maps and your new tablet. I'll definitely be following you, thanks for the great content.
0:43 so u say this is a Samsung Tablet A ? And it comes with this maps& topography app, which u can use offline ? Sounds good for roadtripping.... i think it's not long since u made this vid. please let us know if u still recommend it and if i got the name right? cheers !
You're correct! However, it does not come with the app I was describing. The app I use is called Gaia GPS. It's a $40 a year app that I subscribe to, but there is a free version. I've used Gaia for a while and highly recommend it. In the app, you can download the maps for offline use. The tablet does have a built in GPS tracker, so that means it does not have to rely on data or doesn't have to connect to a GPS to find your position.
@@ArkansasOffroad sounds great, thanks so much for your reply. Makes me curious as to how that Gps with the Gaia maps would work offline/without data, just having downloaded it. But i'd def be interested in getting it myself.
I just stuck a New double din radio bezel dash kit from eBay in my 97 Jeep Wrangler along with a 7” touch screen Bluetooth radio stereo with navigation look fantastic works great check it out on eBay and the stereo because the stereo has Bluetooth you can keep your phone in your pocket and still get calls Through the radio
Have you had any issues seeing the tablet while wearing polarized sunglasses? I bought a Samsung tablet a7 lite to use for navigation but when I turn it horizontally 90 degrees (landscape) the pixels pretty much disappear into a dark grey/black blur if I am wearing my sunglasses. If I take my glasses off, I can see the screen just fine.
I would like a little more info on your tablet and the map apps you use when off line. Planing a trip to Baja and was thinking of a used lowrance GPS but they are still quite a bit of money. Thanks in advance.
Miguel Sandoval The application is Gaia GPS. I have the pro version which is $40 a year. Lots of great features and a very useful tool. The tablet is a Samsung Tablet A. Good luck on your trip! Hope this helped.
wondering who or how you painted your interior center piece it looks really good, or is that an aftermarket piece? not infront of mine to check but i think maybe my 05 rubicon has a texture on that piece similar to your center console lid i could be wrong though do you still recommend that daystar tray?
i have a serious question i own me a jeep and kinda new to cars it’s my first one and i love it but i wanna change my steering wheel to something newer can i
I would love to see the hand throttle use in some trail vids! I’ll be in the market for an LJ hopefully next year and love manuals, was just hesitant about the cons compared to an auto in more technical offroad terrain. But then came across these and think they’re awesome. Awesome upgrades in this video btw!
Where did you get the metal center console trim panel? I'm looking for a double DIN panel that preserves the ashtray/lighter/rocker switch functionality.
Good video I like what you have done with your Jeep. What gears are you running in your unit? I have a 03 Jeep that I am working on now, my first one. Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada and keep up the good videos.

I greatly appreciate that feedback!
Nice video! Now let’s put those magnets to test and go off roading and see if you stuff falls off, if it doesn’t then I’m buying some!
same thought. looking forward to an update review of how those magnetics do off road

Thanks for the heads up! Mine's holding great. And yeah, love the pistol mount!
Glad so see these clever items and that you have used a CB radio instead of GMRS like over seas.
Actually, it's changed to a GMRS now haha. CB is very outdated here and GMRS is much better.

The GoPro you got there is the 2014 HERO. It came out with the HERO4 as a budget version. Served me well until I lost it while kayaking.

Nice trail shots at the start. How did the magnetic tablet and phone holder do on the trail? I really like that CP mic holder. Never seen it before.
You might want to do something about your winch fairlead. Chewed up like that, it could cause your synthetic to fail very quickly.
The cb magnet mount is a great idea. I have tried the other mounts for my phone and they don’t work on the trails. Good vid!
Nice, clean work. No extra junk stuff there just to be there
Noice!
I love that olive green dash bezel. Did you paint it if so do you have a video? Do you plan on doing more of the interior that way?
It was panted when he bought it
I'm building my 2003 TJ now . Putting a rear-end in it and a lift kit.
Ive got an 04 Tj on 39.5 swampers, looks pretty close to yours👍
Hey bro just found your channel! Bought myself a TJ yesterday. Subbed! Hey what soft top do you have on yours I want one the same
Chris Turner Photographer right on man! Thanks for the sub! It’s a Rampage Bowless soft top
Hurts me that you have a magnetic mount for the pistol but personal preference I feel.
Love the jeep man. These were some nice simple mods. You should add a new rear view mirror to the list. Haha
Haha you're so right!
Cool setup... what is that on the counsel in front of you stick shift as under the aux switches?
Such a good looking rig . Cool mods
I know that this is off subject, but can you comment on the hood vent? Engine bay any cooler?
Thanks.
I know I'm way late to the party but this was dope my dude, I'm sure you've probably made some improvements since this.
Great mods. I like the CB mount. Awesome.
Wish my TJ looked that good.
I was wonder what GPS app your using other than looks great on the inside
Gaia GPS.
@@ArkansasOffroad thanks
Slick , nice set up! As always! Thanks
You should get your Taurus ceracoated to match your Jeep..

Hope you upgraded the mic on your CB those stock ones Uniden gives out are crap! I bought a larger mic much more positive grip and easier to use.
Great video, thanks for posting. Great options indeed.

did you spray paint the dashboard? i’m looking for colored ones online but can’t find them, yours looks soooo good
wondering who or how you painted your interior center piece it looks really good, or is that an aftermarket piece? not infront of mine to check but i think maybe my 05 rubicon has a texture on that piece similar to your center console lid i could be wrong though
do you still recommend that daystar tray?
Love the daystar tray! The dash piece was just removed and painted with the rest of the Jeep. It's just the factory dash bezel.
I seen in a different video you did riding where your walkie talkie was mounted on drive side speaker. I was wondering what mount this was.
What bag/pouches you have on the grab bar... don’t feel like spending what bartract is wanting but want something to help organize/save space
I got them at a local Academy Sports store in the firearms section. I think the brand was "Tactical"? They were $8 a piece.
Cellular iPads have gps built in. You don’t have to pay monthly, just tether from your phone if you need internet on it.
