    I can't believe nobody has mentioned the driver's side grab handle yet, so I'm mentioning it.

    The one I linked is driver-only, but there are some DIYs you can check out to add modules to the other window switches if you want.

    Any issues with your phone while mounted? I'm curious how a magnet that size might influence the compass that's used by Google and Apple maps. Have you seen any sign of interference?

    no interference. I don't believe any magnets affect the compass on a phone as it uses GPS, unlike a normal compass.

    Google and Apple both still draw off the internal compass for directional bearing.

    In military land nav, my 782/deuce gear (tiny metal shit you wear) and weapons would distort magnetic north if I held my compass too close, so it's a very real concern.

    I just don't want a navigation screen that jitters, that's all.

    If you’re sitting still, there might be some on-screen confusion, but this shouldn’t be an issue when you’re in motion. Both seem to use machine learning to “guess” where you’re heading, so you’ll see a lag if you change direction from the nav path. It’s all about the perception of real-time location… I’ve been using mag mounts for years and haven’t had issues.

    Great recommendation! If you have the TRD Pro skid I'd highly recommend the model F-133N. If not, it doesn't bring the oil drainage far enough away from the skid plate and you end up with a huge mess on top of it...ask me how I know. Just did the first oil change yesterday, what a disaster! Luckily it will be nice and easy from here forward.

    Yup. The nipple makes it easy to attach something like aquarium tubing to direct the oil anywhere you want to drain it.

    Some have complained about slow draining with the Fumoto, but they say going for a 15 minute drive before hand helps. Also, not sure it's an issue with the new ones, because Fumoto opened them up for better flow after they heard about those complaints.

    They did indeed. I had the F-103N on my 2017 and it was slower to drain. Warming the oil beforehand definitely helps. The F-133N is the newer full port version and I can indeed confirm its got a larger throat. I can't say how much faster it drains yet, as this was the first oil change and I just installed it. Either way, it's a solid investment!
