Just got this email:

You have been approved to receive a Ka'ena Point Vehicle Access Special Use Permit from the Division of State Parks. A packet will be sent to you with your permit, a decal for your vehicle, a map of designated roads within the controlled vehicle access area, and all applicable special conditions, general State Parks rules, standard practices, and prohibited uses and activities.

 

When did you input yours in??

 

Monday evening.....took your example and like @BlueLights said to call them....I sent an email today and they replied back with that

 

Dang... I'll probably get mine before you.... lol... I did email, just to see if it did any good...

 

@tx novice, thanks for the talk when I stopped by the shop yesterday. Grant was a great help. Hope to find the resolution to the x-grip ram mount.

 

Resolution? Do you have a problem with it?

 

WHEW took the 4runner in for service appt #2 this morning...and im fkn getting fed up with servco...so easy and friendly when you wanna buy the damn truck but so fkn annoying trying to get something fixed

 

@hacklerjason, @tx novice is trying figure out the exact parts needed to get the exact X-Grip Ram Mount like the first image from @808TAC2012 (attached to the lower part of the handle of the A-pillar), and possibly order a kit from South Seas Cycles.

 

I can size you up... You want it on the a pillar lower screw?

 

That would be much appreciated. Yes, A pillar lower screw. Pretty much exactly like the image from @808TAC2012 posted.

 

Here's the list from the thread.

If you search MOD: A Pillar the thread should come up.... people have all kine stuff to choose.

List of parts used.

1. M6 x 50mm socket head cap screw
2. RAM Mounts Ball mount
3. 6mm nut
4. 6mm split washer
5. 6mm nut
6. RAM Mounts double arm socket
7. RAM Mounts X-Grip phone holder

 

I'm at work now but I do have a ram mount of my own to test with... I'll pull the screw and size it up and get back to you

 

I ordered the Ram mount ball and double arm socket from Amazon..... $41 and some change.

I checked for the socket head screw at Home Depot ( M6 x 50mm ) they don't carry that size.

Checking Lowe's and City Mill later today.

 

@808TAC2012, @hacklerjason, @tx novice, what do you think about this mount and just clamp it to the a pillar handle?

That's for something solid which the ohshit bar is not... You'll deform the rubber on the outside... I would go with the screw mount but even then, if your phone is heavy that screw will snap at that size... I would advise the actual hard mount... Brb with photo

Like these

 

But how would these mounts get screwed into the a pillar?

 

This is a picture from the thread........... I think not.

 

I wouldn't mount it there... With only a single m6 holding it on, at a mounting distance of at least an inch away from the metal surface, with an added 3 inches for the double shoulder ball link, and then the weight of the device itself at the end of that distance, that little m6 won't take that abuse very long... I really would advise dash mounting.. Or center console mount.. Its really up to you though where you want it

 

Hopefully those screws go through the plastic to the sheet metal... That cover is only held on with plastic clips

 

I might look into a different and more cost-efficient phone holder. Thanks TW Oahu team!
