MOD: A-Pillar RAM mount GPS/Phone holder

The ball and x grip were on prime but not the double ball join arm, gotta wait now.

 

Finally got my truck back so I got mine installed

 

What is the pitch of the bolt? My m6 x 50mm is a 1.00 pitch. It's not driving in

 

I had to get a 1.75 and a few washers

 

Did this mod in the dark in 5 min. It's a must.

 

I had minor issues with mine so used a longer bolt and some washers

 

The fit is a little weird without washers and such to raise the ball but mine does fine. I did have to get a longer bolt at the Homer Despot, but couldn't find the size I wanted so I settled. I've not looked back once since doing that mod. It makes every single other cell phone holder feel ridiculous by comparison. No navigation unit I've EVER used is so stable and convenient. I've mobbed hard through the desert and not even had it shift position on me.

 

My main issue was my lowes only had hex head with no phillips. So the socket didnt wanna fit in the ball around the hex.

Me too man, for a while, still havent done it yet though haha

 

Let me or Andrew know when you need the hardware.

 

Oh, you guys are always welcome to supply me with some HARD ware.

 

Giggity

I did this a few months ago and realized I never posted anything.

 

Would anyone want to buy one of these off of me?

I never use mine at all, so I really don't have a use, so would like to sell it? Just shoot me a PM.

PM'd

 

Finally scraped everything together for this...thanks OP, worked like a charm...



Found this fairly quickly at Home Depot, it's the Hex (Allen) type bolt (55mm works for me). Also found the 1/2" Nylon spacer in the same drawers at HD. Manage to route a 6' lightning cable from the stereo, inside the dash, and up the pillar to protrude along with the mount.

 

Did mine today, M6-55mm was the perfect fit with two nuts and two washers. Used the short arm to keep it all close to the a-pillar.

 

one day i'll get my sh!t together to do this mod, getting tired of trying to secure my phone for nav while doing stupid stuff in the desert, lol

 

@ChadsPride
There are a few other ideas in here too.
