The TJ goes Android: The dash gets modded.

Update time! I needed to get the Nook mount in place, and modify the center bezel. I had a lot of options when it came to mounting, but I wanted to keep it simple, and by default reliable. If it won’t take abuse, it’s not worth putting in a Jeep. So, I decided to utilize my existing Quadratec iVault. It

The TJ goes Android: Starting the install

When I start most projects, I like to have a pretty good plan in place. With the TJ, I decided to take a different approach. Although I had the concept outlined, I knew there were so many things that would get adjusted on the fly. Compared to some of the other things I’ve done, this is a relatively simple project.

The TJ goes Android

Wow, it seems my front page has not been getting the love it deserves lately, so I’m about to change that. I’ve admittedly been spending a lot of time in the Losias forums lately.

By

Are you guys ready for this?

Well, it’s finally arrived! Thanks to Ron Rogers of Romaxx for making this possible. What you are about to see is the unboxing of a shiny new HS-1 CNC router.

This machine is considered a tabletop CNC, and as such, doesn’t take up a lot of space. Since I work primarily in small form factor, this will fit 99% of every need I have.

So, shall we look at a few pics of this thing?

The box…
