A vehicle-mounted cell booster adds a margin of safety while Overlanding. As the sport of Overlanding and backcountry exploration grows, so does the want for people to build vehicles capable of getting farther out there and away from the crowds. However, the farther you go, the less likely you are to have cell service. While professional adventurers may stack the deck with ham radios or satellite communicators, the average person may not want to invest in radio training and licensing, or yet another monthly subscription.
So, the question we asked ourselves during our overland vehicle build was what options existed to maximize the usefulness of our cell phone. It seemed that a signal booster was the answer. Signal boosters work by amplifying a weak cellular signal to reduce the number of dropped calls and improve connections. We have used portable versions in the past, but this time we were looking for a system that we could hardwire into our Wrangler JL and one that didn't require a massive antenna or a ground plane. We wanted something that came with a stealthy antenna and a compact brain for mounting flexibility.

This fourdoor Ford foreshadowed late-model Broncos
Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.
JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING
I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
