Jeep JL Gladiator JT Dash Tray Phone Holder Storage Install

Quick answer

Install a dash tray phone holder storage box in your 2024+ Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT by removing the grab bar and sliding the bracket into the pillar slot. No drilling required.

Installation steps

1. Remove the factory grab bar: Locate the grab bar on the passenger side of the dash. Using a Torx bit (usually T25 or T30), remove the two screws holding the grab bar in place. Pull the grab bar straight out to release it from the dash slot. Keep the screws safe; you will reuse them. A common mistake is stripping the Torx head, so apply steady pressure and use the correct bit size.
2. Prepare the dash tray phone holder: Take the new dash tray and slide the integrated phone holder bracket into the open pillar slot on the grab bar mounting point. Ensure the bracket is fully seated and the tray sits flush against the dash surface. The bracket should slide in smoothly. If it feels tight, check that no debris is in the slot. Do not force it.
3. Secure the tray with the original screws: Reinstall the two screws you removed earlier through the tray's mounting holes and into the dash. Tighten them firmly but do not overtighten, as ABS plastic can crack under excessive torque. Test the tray by gently pulling it. If it moves, tighten the screws slightly more. Overtightening is the most common installation error.
4. Place your phone and test the grip: Insert your phone into the phone holder bracket. The bracket's strong bite force should hold it securely. Give the phone a gentle shake to confirm it won't fall out during driving or off-road use. If the grip feels loose, check that the bracket is fully seated in the slot. The holder works best with phones in a slim case or no case.
5. Repeat for the second set (optional): If you want a tray on both sides, repeat steps 1-4 for the driver-side grab bar. The kit includes two sets, so you can install one on each side of the dash. Installing on both sides gives you extra storage but reduces the number of grab handles in the cabin. Decide based on your need for passenger grab points.
