So I found out today that there is this cool new feature. If you drive with your doors off and have a phone that slips out of your left pocket your phone gets to go for an "adventure" too! :facepalm

I think that came standard on my year too. I got the "right side" pocket mod done shortly after a freeway phone mod.

Oh man what a bummer! I'm always super aware of what pocket in putting my phone in when running doorless and thankfully this hasn't happened to me.

Cell phone mount on the dash is an awesome way to spend $30. Can even record videos while your phone is there.

I actually have that mount. :/ I was working on the jeep and just went for a shake down drive. Noticed I forgot when I saw it flopper-rooing down the asphalt.

I have the Daystar one and have been happy with it. The Rugged Ridge one looks a bit beefier/sturdier though.

That does suck. One time i left the phone on the rear bumper and drove off... Amazingly I found it in the middle of the rode (30 minutes later) with only a minor crack in the screen.

Ouch! That's rough. This tip doesn't work if you have an iPhone 6 (or 6plus (or a non-iPhone)), but if you've got a 4, 4s, 5, or 5s your phone will fit in the vent of the a/c and is actually a really convenient spot to keep it.
