    Close enough. Mounting my phone to it via a Ram Mount for the time being. Later on I'll add a tablet.

    1" by .120 wall round tube, 3/4" solid round bar, and a piece of 1/8" scrap steel.

    Overkill is the name of the game :thumbsup:

    Truth be told, I just wanted a fancy phone mount. :anonymous:

    Literally the most overbuilt, overkill, overdone mount for a phone... :anonymous:

    It's definitely strong but it's not that strong. The sheet metal is pretty easy to warp and the the metal tab is bolted to plastic. I'm pretty sure you'd crack my transmission tunnel open and put a hole in my dash.

    There's already an "oh shit handle" on the a pillar so I that should suffice your needs :D Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I intend for it to have one purpose. To hold a phone and a tablet... and maybe the head unit of a HAM radio. We'll see.

    Finished up my super overkill electronics mount.

    Going to repaint it whenever it gets warm again. Not super happy with the paint job. Also currently looking at fixing my screw up with the carpet.

    Should bend the top towards the dash to follow the contours better and give it a better look. Looks good though

    Dammit! You're so right! It would look a little cleaner. I need to pull if off whenever it gets warmer and repaint it anyways. Guess I try and remember to bend it when I pull it off next.

    If it wasn't $450 and looked similar to the second gen dorkel, then I probably would have. Don't really care for the design, and saving $300 is worth it.
