MOD: A-Pillar RAM mount GPS/Phone holder

I'm about to be going on a hunt for a 60, the 50 is a little to short to get it stood out away from the grab handle. Got it installed with the 50, just missing some adjustability without having the ball sitting farther out.

 

I got my 60mm at Lowes

 

How long is that adapter/extension between that RAM iPhone mount and the A-Pillar??

 

Boom!








I can now watch or read Tacomaworld porn!!!!

Booyah!

I plan to do the passenger side as well. Off to fleabay to order the rest of RAM parts at the lowest prices! Heeehaaaa

 

Go to Fastenal! About 22 cents for a 55mm socket head screw bolt. Went all over and not Lowes or ACe had them. Fastenal is the place-aka one stop shop!

 

My fleabay source has them cheaper...11 with free s/h

 

I used the RAM-B-201U-A double socket for the pillar mount.

 

3 inches socket to socket.

 

Thanks! I think that is the size I need for my iPhone 6+ RAM mount.

Cheers!!

 

That's what I'm using for my 6S+, I may change it out for a more flexible or longer arm.

Edit: Maybe this.

I am using it with my 7+ and have no complaints. I prefer to use it vertically as opposed to horizontally, can see further ahead on Waze that way, so the very corner tip of the screen on the bottom right can be behind the steeringwheel sometimes, just an FYI.

 

Yep, I had my Spotify App there in the bottom right and had to swap places with another app that I dont use when I drive.

 

What's the top one for...? That's too high to be useful for most stuff, right? Dashcam? Genuinely curious.

 

Hoping it's for a scanguage or ultraguage and that pictures are coming as I've thought about getting one and trying it out there.

 

That's kinda funny, I keep my Google Music app there, but I usually launch it before I am moving so it doesn't bug me. I worry that moving it up will block more of the angle to the left of the hood than I really want to block, but I would love to see pics if you do end up getting that other arm and see how you set it up!

 

Yeah I just did the install last friday and have only driven the truck once to the gym for a mile so far, so I'm going to see if I like this arm for a few weeks before I buy another one. Just struck me as a bit short with limited adjustment at first.

 

Finally got around to snapping a pic. Top 3 favorite mods on the rig (so far...)

 

Looks great. The @ImMrYo rear view mirror riser used to be my favorite but my Trail Toys EZ View side mirrors from @SMKYTXN have taken the top of the podium now that I have a 35" spare blocking the rear view mirror.

 

Just looked up the mirrors and they are now on my to-do list. I trust your judgement OP

 

Both of those mirror mods are awesome. The @ImMrYo center rear view mirror riser moves it up and out of the way. Before it I was always having to look around the mirror to see stuff out front.

The Trail Toys aspherical mirrors make driving in traffic and towing much less stressful for me. To kick it up a notch consider adding the @Up2NoGood heated mirror kit in behind them as I did.
