Thanks for the info. Great comments (and article) - even more things to think about as it pertains to gps to help me get to the trial and then down the trial. I was originally planning on playing with one of the these retired tiablets and a GPS receiver to see what it gets me, but I hadn’t...

So I found this (below) online - was wondering if something similar could be done. Sounds like there may be more than a couple of options which is encouraging - thanks again for the input! https://www.camperdefender.eu/en/amazon-fire-tablet-as-navi/

That is awesome (great profile picture btw) - I’d buy on either now but they’re sold out…. What sort of mounting setup do you have there?

Very cool - that hadn’t hit my radar (pun intended), I’ll have to check that out for sure. Do you use a mounting system, or what it came with? Thanks for the input in advance!

Nice! That may be the way to go if I can’t put something together with what I have, I’ll just have to figure out a way to part with the $1300 - lol. What sort of mount do you use (if any)? Sorry for all of the questions!

Thanks! I’ve had my eye on this too - I’m a big Garmin fan, it’s just the cost that’s had me hesitant so far…. Does it track weather as well?

Hey gang - I may’ve missed an earlier thread on this but couldn’t find much - I’m starting to research a way to set up a “retired” kindle fire for a gps/weather device to help get me to the trail and then being able to use it on the trail. I’m not sure if this is possible and I am not a huge...

I grew up vacationing in PCB - Ft Pickens and the NAS we’re always stops that we made. I’m taking the girls to Destin here in the next week or so, when they get a little older, we’re definitely hitting the P’cola seen - thanks for sharing!

I bought my Rubicon last year and had to really hunt it down as I wanted a manual transmission and wanted the Jeep to be black in color. As luck would have it a dealer had one on their lot about an hour away so I drove down test drive it and bought it on the spot. The only options that I have...

Great looking rig man - well done!!

I’ve been averaging 16-17 mpg on my JLUR (3.6L, manual transmission) - I probably don’t drive the greatest from a fuel economy point of view (or any point of view for that matter), but with the Wrangler’s brick-ish aerodynamics, I never expected 25mpg or more. I daily mine and mostly drive...

I bought these as well - it took all of 2 minutes to put them in, but I will say I’ve seen a few pop up from “flush” when parked in the sun. Maybe this will fix itself over time but defroster seems to be much more effective.

I think I averaged 16.4 miles/gallon at my last fuel up (3.6L with manual transmission) - I didn’t have great hopes for a rig that has the aerodynamic properties of a stream lined safe, but with oil north of $60/barrel, it’s not going to be as cheap to run as it once was...

I had these on my Subaru Forester as well - was a great feature for sure, I wish the cold weather package for Jeep would include them...

Great question - I was the last one to leave work last night and the ice was coming down pretty heavily. The JLUR had no issues on the two lane road home, but my wipers could barely keep up and they weren’t doing much to keep the ice off. I’d love to hear about other options as well - glad to...

I usually let the kids name my vehicles but the few that have been thrown around so far are - Hildy (as in Brunhild) no real direct connection other than a really tough lady... Storm or Al (of Marvel fame, X-men and Deadpool accordingly and no, I don’t let my kids watch Deadpool - lol)

Just did this in about 20 seconds while waiting for my Walmart pickup - pushed up ever so slightly on the roof trim and rotated the mirror on around (180 degrees). The flip-down “dimmer” still works great, just at the top now, not the bottom... Now, hopefully it doesn’t come rocketing off at...

Took the ladies out to a nice trail this morning - it was about 30 degrees today but no wind, so even though we hiked for almost an hour, it was pretty comfortable - supposed to be ice/snow Wednesday and Thursday so I thought I’d run them outside as much as I could this week ;)

Lol - just saw this and had to look shewees up...

This is awesome - thanks for the input and sorry for the slow reply (crazy last few days with the kids/holidays)! I appreciate your suggestions and will look in to the extra storage idea behind the passenger grab handle as well as a few cellphone mount options. I don’t have gps and usually...
