Evolution. The middle fob is my fusion.

Can’t go through 27 pages. Can someone please post a link. I told the salesman when I bought my JL that I almost changed my mind on getting the Jeep because of the size of the fob. Hate having it in my pocket.

Are we or are we not Jeepers?
Shouldn’t we be trying to make our already giant fobs even bigger?
I wouldn’t mind turning mine into a jerry can

Make a nice garage display piece for the empty carcass after the innards get transferred to the smaller fob. 😁
I'd love to see some creative artists commissioned with the task of incorporating the stock fob into ordinary (but large) objects of life, not unlike this image from the movie Downsizing:

Just got my DI Labs/Threedom fob today. It's amazing how small this thing is compared to stock.

Received mine today as well and I'm very happy with the new DI Labs/Threedom fob! :rock:

Some pics...I'm another who got the Blue Camo (Three-button, Model M + Smallest Key Holder):

The new fob is roughly the same thickness as my GM fob, but even smaller. (Both put the ridiculous Jeep fob to shame).

Most discussions talk about size difference, but equally as impressive is the weight difference. I weighed the Jeep fob before disassembly and it was 2.4 oz. The Threedom fob with the key in the smallest key holder came in together at only 0.7 oz. :)This will be MUCH nicer to carry around!

Now, all that said, I wouldn't want to take the Jeep OEM fob apart every day, that is for sure!!! Obviously no fault of Threedom, but it took me almost an hour to get the thing apart, mostly due to the :swear: RFID chip. Mine almost didn't even look like the one in their disassembly video...theirs looked like it was dropped into a slot that was slightly larger than the chip whereas mine was more like the plastic was molded/melted around the RFID chip. I couldn't even get a knife blade in or around it to try to pry it out. I had to all but take a dang blowtorch to it to get the thing out...had to cut about 3/4 of the plastic out from around the thing before it would even budge, and there's almost no room to get a knife in there or have leverage to cut anything to start with. The chip must be able to take a bit of a beating, though, since it still worked after I finally dug it out!

Once I finally had that out, the assembly of new fob was child's play! Fob works and feels great. Just the right amount of force needed for a button press. Nice touch including the little T6 screwdriver in the kit as well! Very nice design/kit and well worth the price, IMO!

So...a big thanks to @crdouglass3 for taking the time to develop these! :like:

Got my Threedom DI Labs no button mini FOBs. Amazing product. Worth the wait and money. So much better than the stock no button flip out key fob. I definitely recommend em for base Sport owners that have manual locks!!! The key works awesome, and the fobs are now the correct size in my opinion.

I contacted AJT Designs to see if they are interested in making or will make me a custom no button FOB for my Willys Sport. I quickly got a response from Adam at AJT stating sorry, we don't have plans to make this. OK then...I will send my money and recommendations to DI Labs & Threedom for being an innovating company that actually listens to JL & JLU requests & needs! Thanks again DI Labs & Threedom!!!

I didn't know this company existed! I have the AJT Designs and while it's a nice design, pressing the buttons is a nightmare and it was another nightmare to put together.

If they can make me a red camo fob, they will have another customer!
