What arm/mount are you using in conjunction with the Ram ball to hold the Ipad?

Here are the links to what I am using to hold the tablet.

Awesome! I love my 67 designs mounts, but they are so pricey.
Holy moly! That ball for the grab handle is expensive. I guess that offset screw is the kicker. Dang you jeep...

I agree on all accounts! That ball stud is crazy expensive, but that's exactly where I wanted one so I went for it. Like you, I love my 67 design mounts. They work just as well as they look. I figured I would never see this tablet arm so I opted for the cheaper one. It seems to work fine.

I think I am finally done running wires through the firewall, so I took some time to install the Artec Industries Solid Front Inner Fenders this weekend. These aren't the best pictures, but it gives some idea. This was the look I was wanting so I am happy with the results. When I look inside the fender wells, all I want to see is black. Mission accomplished.
How have the brakes been holding up for you? Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary with them?
OP
So far so good on the brakes. I really don't have a lot of miles on the Black Magic JK Big Brake kit since being installed. I'll be putting quite a few miles on them in the next couple months. We are taking a trip to Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. I'll put them to the test and have a better idea on how they perform after that.
Outstanding, thanks for the reply! Looking forward to your review!

Trying to finish up as many little projects as possible before we head West on our trip. Mounted a Midland GMRS radio on top of the Vector E Dock. I need to find a good place to mount the mic yet.
Also installed a high lift jack mount from Dominion. This was an easy install. It keeps my Hi-Lift jack, jack stabilizing stand, axe, and shovel up out of the way. I really like the clean look. We will see how I like it after some driving and usage. I like being able to keep these items out of the weather as well.

Looks good Safe travels
Thanks! What a trip it was indeed. We first started out driving to Flagstaff, AZ. We camped at the KOA their in Flagstaff for 3 full days so we were able to drop the trailer and get out to see some sights. During that stay, we were able to do the Schnebly Hill Road, Broken Arrow, Outlaw, Diamondback Gulch, and the Soldier's Pass trails. Also took in the sights and attractions of Flagstaff, Sedona, and the Canyon de Chelly National Park. I felt we were off to a good start!
We left Flagstaff and headed to the Grand Canyon National Park. We hit the South visitor center and several lookout points on our way to Moab, UT. We set up the trailer at the Moab KOA. We were able to do the Elephant Hill, Top Of The World, and Fins and Things trails. Also saw Newspaper Rock, Canyon Lands National Park, Arches National Park, and rafted the Colorado while there.
Our next stop landed us at Montrose, CO. Again, we set up camp at the Montrose KOA. We were able to do the Last Dollar Road, Imogene, Porphyry Basin Mine, and Paradise Divide trails. We were able to explore Telluride, Ouray, Silverton, Gunnison, and the Black Canyon national Park.
We definitely stayed busy as we never spent much time at camp. I'm already looking forward to the next trip. The Jeep handled and performed great. The brakes held solidly on the vertical descents. It's amazing how much grip you get on the rocks out there. We crawled up everything. My wife and I agreed that the Dometic cooler was a great purchase even if the initial cost is ridiculous. It was so nice having cold drinks everywhere we went without chasing ice. No mechanical failures, but when we arrived in Montrose I did notice the rear diff was leaking. Luckily I brought tools and even luckier it was just the diff bolts that were loose. I tightened the bolts on the front and rear and cleaned off the oil. No more leaking after that. Here are a few pictures of the trip.

Sweet Ride!
I don't recall seeing it during the "We Walk With Kelsee" Jeep ride in St. Leon.
I'm pretty sure I would have remembered that Ruby! Sorry, I missed the chance to check it out in person...

Same here. Work and the kids sports don't leave much free time.
I've been looking for a way to mount my jack inside. Wanted to keep it out of the elements and maintain a clean look outside the jeep. My wife just bought that Dominion Jack Mount as a Christmas Present for me. (She just doesn't know it yet...LOL)
I'll keep an eye out. I'm sure we'll meet soon. PS- My profile pic is in Bonnell

It's been a while since I have made any mods on the rig. The Christmas sales got me to make a few purchases. These were geared towards overlanding. I got the first one installed last night. I mounted a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform on top. I also purchased a couple ARB traction boards. I plan on mounting them onto the roof rack, but the mounts haven't arrived yet. Didn't have time to clean the Jeep up, but here are a few pictures of the roof rack.

My wife and I decided to buy an early retirement present for ourselves. That present will be towed behind the Jeep and includes electric brakes. So I installed a Redarc Tow Pro Elite trailer brake system. I cut a hole into my bumper to mount the 7-Pin wiring connector. I also cut a hole in the other side of the bumper to mount an Anderson plug that is wired to my battery. That will be used to connect to our trailer to charge the batteries when traveling. I have a few more things to do, but can't find the time to work on them. I guess the parts won't go bad sitting in my basement waiting for me...
Where did you get that Anderson plug with the case like that, I use those types ao connectors for my winches and hyd. pumps but never saw any of the cases.
