Discontinued- Boomer's Dashtop RAM (type ball) Mount

Due to the new 4th Gen and weak market for this type of accessory, I have discontinued manufacturing of the BDRM. I greatly appreciate the faith Tacomaworld members had in purchasing this uniquely Canadian manufactured product.

The BDRM has 5 locations for mounting RAM type balls with 2 strategically placed slots for passing through USB power cables if desired. One thing I wanted to ensure was ease of installation and I think this is accomplished by spreading out the 5x fastening points along the entire length of the radio bezel. Also, I have concentrated on fit and finish by having the part CnC'd and then finished in a textured flat black powder coat which should keep any incoming light reflection to a minimum. When not in use I think it blends inconspicuously into the dash quite well.

I have 0 unit available for sale as of 07042025. The BDRM will come with required mounting hardware, E-mailed installation instructions, 4x plastic plugs for unused mounting holes and 1x ball mount.
Cost is $125 US + 4% PayPal fee + shipping.
Add surface mount USB as seen in picture: $20
Add 1x additional ball mount: $10

 

Very cool piece.

So, this attaches to the bezel. Is there any other attachment point or does this rely solely on the bezel for its support?

Btw....what is that wired gizmo attached to the right end of the mount in the 2nd and 3rd pics?

 

Currently it relies on the bezel for support but because the mounting points are spread along the entire unit I think this improves stability.
I will be developing an internal support bracket that will utilize the upper 2x radio fastening bolts as an accessory.

 

I have 2x #4 mounting holes in the BDRM to install a surface mount dual USB jack.

Very cool--nice job!

 

Looks great!

 

count me in- should I pm about purchase?

 

Yes, send PM with full name and address so I can figure out shipping.

 

That's some really nice work right there

 

Does this permanently leave holes in the factory bezel?

 

Yes but why would someone remove it? It looks so good. Also, with nothing attached to it you can hardly tell it is there.

 

Put the letters TRD on that and sell millions

 

So what is the difference between this and the other two that are on the market that are similar?

 

I prefer to put my own moniker on the part I designed. Also, I believe @MESO had an issue with Toyota regarding the use of the TRD logo.

 

- I have designed the mount to fit along the entire length of the radio bezel providing 5 mounting points spread out with the one on the far right that can be used by the passenger.
- it has a total of 5 fastening points which makes installation easier and takes considerably less time to complete than others
- the notches for the USB cables are strategically places on the sides of the radio in case there was any liquid spilled on the dash it would not go directly onto the radio
- the part is finished in a textured flat back powder coat which will reduce any reflection of incoming light
- the part has 2x #4 mounting holes for installation of a surface mount USB jack
- I provide 4x plastic plugs for the unused mounting holes

 

bump

 

Do the fastening screws just thread into the plastic bezel or is there a nut or plate of some sort on the back side of the bezel?

 

The 5x tapered fastening screws have a sizable washer and SS nylon nut to secure it to the bezel.

 

Like the design. Looks very functional.

 

Nice work!
When do you expect to have the additional support bracket in production?
