Item: Vector Overland Bar
Jeep Torque Wrenches: 1 out of 5.
One of the most annoying things is to have your phone or tablet go flying off the windsheild suction cup holder. Or on a very hot day, especially down in #swfl, you head out to your jeep and the suction completely came off the glass. It drives me crazy.
I searched for a bit looking for the perfect overland bar I can install in order to hold all the items I use. I needed something solid for my TrailDash II, cell phone and iPad (12″) pro. I came across the Vector bar which had great reviews, pretty straight forward on the install.
First step will be to remove the middle trays screw and two bolts. Once the middle tray is all set, there will be two plastic covers you need to pop out one is on the driver side other on the passenger. You will see by the windshield the cut out square shapes, pop it out gently with a trim tool or screwdriver, be careful with a screwdriver as you scratch you dash plastic or damage it. Once you pop those out (mine went flying right out, I used a plastic trim tool) it will expose a bolt already in place. Hopefully neither are crooked as you will have an issue with installing this bar. Go ahead and follow the steps, pretty straightforward.
Peripherals…
Once you have the Vector bar in place, go ahead and grab your new bars and 20mm holders for your phone, iPad, etc. It’s working pretty well so far, had one come loose and may order a short arm but other than that, great product.
