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.
During our research, we came across SureCall, maker of signal boosters for everything from cars and RVs to homes, offices, and even boats. After perusing the company's product line, we settled on the Fusion2Go 3.0 Fleet model. This booster comes with a no-ground-plane fixed antenna, coax cable, the unit itself, an interior patch antenna, and a 12-volt hardwire power supply to make it a permanent installation in our vehicle.

The story of the invisible car and the silver Durango
My wife called it “the invisible car.” We bought it in 2002 after the third or fourth unsuccessful attempt at getting Ford to honor warranty work on her ’00 Focus ZTS. We finally gave up and traded it in on a super-low-mileage ’99 Toyota Camry.
