Mystery Devices in the Back Seat

[MeowMix]

Hey, it took me almost two years before I realized that the dome light can be turned on or off by pushing it!

...it can?! I must test this when I get home from class today...

I didn't know about the backseat ashtray either; not like I spend much time back there to find it though.

And for the record, Mark showed me the seat bolsters while I was in Moab; I doubt the last people who owned my girl knew about them either, cause boy was there some nasty crap growing in there.

...I wonder what other wonders are hiding in this (still fairly new to me) rig. It's like finding eggs on easter, lol

It took me months to figure out how to get the cruise control to work...lol. I can't see the switch from the driver's seat since I have the steering wheel all the way up. I was whining about it not working, the wife asked if I had turned it on...duh.

uhhhh huh huh... I thought you were in college...
Sorry... just kidding.

Oh, lol...walked right into that one, didn't I? I go to college yes, though I attend a private Christian university, full of good little Christian boys

...and then there's me.

But really...I'm enjoying all the fun, newly discovered features this rig has to offer; took me a good month to realize the thing has map lights in the rearview mirror, lol.

Without perusing the entire thread again, in some of the fully loaded troopers and SLXs, instead of the rear ashtray, they have a flipdown drink holder right there. It screws into the same spots as our ashtray. I have only found 3 or 4 in the last two years, one is in my truck and I sold the others. Just an interesting factoid for you.

What? I even did a quick internet search and still don't know what this is.

The lower front part of the seat slides out for longer legs. Also makes for a handy cup-holder on the passenger side if not being used. Just grab the lip under the seat and pull. Beware there will likely be a lot of debris in there if it hasn't been used lately.

AHH!! I knew the seat did that, just didn't know what it was called. lol

Heh. That's the part of the seat that eats cell phones. I discovered that one when I read the manual cover to cover. I think it mentions the dome light, too. At the very least, I remember looking at it thinking, "I wonder why it says PUSH here?"

This thread is making me laugh. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is still discovering new things.

So you laugh in the face of danger? Tough guy!

Don't mess with me. I'm a VX-owner on the edge!




Okay, so I can't type. Is it bad that that's pretty much my job?
