    Hey can anyone tell me how big you can go on windshield wiper size? I know it's supposed to be 17" on both sides, but I hate the gap it leaves in the middle. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    I’m running a 19” on the drivers side. Doesn’t rub the weather stripping

    I’ve still got a 17” on the passenger side. I’ve read you can run some 18s on it but some brands tend to rub

    A 27 and a crescent wrench will do the trick.

    Couple of my buddies use them while wheeling and they seem to hold the phone well. They don't adjust all that easy so I use an iOttie phone mount in mine so I can pull it out and put it back faster

    Yeah, had a CL alert setup for a year and got no hits. Figured I might as well just buy it new since I found one for less than ones on eBay (also super rare) after you take into account shipping.

    @JKO1998 - I have no idea what I'm doing at this point, so you're welcome to send anything you want and take your chances, hahahahaha.

    My first use will likely be assembly of some (well, disassembly of the old and assembly of new) front coils for the 4Runner - hopefully later this month or early Feb.

    Do you use the one with the charger? Has it been holding up well?
    I need a new holder mine only holds in the landscape and almost all apps are for portrait nowadays.

    I don't have the charger one because the foot on it didn't hold my rather large phone very well. I use the iOttie 2 it even sticks to the plastic taco dash and held up through a couple wheeling trips with no probs.

    I like it a lot. Keeps your phone sturdy.

    I guess it would .if its not so big that you couldn't get the wrench on there.. On one of mine i only needed two tools ,cressent wrench and 27mm . They didn't take a lot of effort to separate. But i don't t have rust to deal with so ymmv. Just break the nut loose before un bolting the tierod from the knuckle.

    I had someone offer a Branick like yours for $250 from a shop that was closing. I was like I want that, but I have no use for it.
