Are there any “top of dashboard” storage mods?

Hey y’all.

just looking to know if anything like this exists for our trucks? Sorry if this seems like a lame/useless mod, but I got used to the top dash spot on my prior truck lol. Thank you.

 

I think the closest thing would be either a "Tech Deck" and long ram ball arms or the 2TPAM thing.

Tech deck (I have this one)



2TPAM


You can get a pass through ram ball mount and replace one of the grab handle bolts like I did here:


And I don't have a picture of it but I also coped a FRC based Ram ball mount and put a plate behind my radio bezel and installed a phone mount just to the right of my steering wheel.

 

Depends what you're doing with it. I bought a GPS pedestal which is rubber underneath for mine. Doesn't really go anywhere and serves the purpose.

 

I printed a dashtop phone mount and stuck it on with temporary adhesive to see if I liked it. For me, it turned out that the top of the dash is too far forward, and it's too high up, for holding a phone like that. Takes too much effort to reach or read the screen.

I went back to keeping my phone on a magnetic wireless charger, in a location similar to the Tech Deck above. I can at least reach it without leaning forward out of my seat.

Other vehicles I've had worked well with dashtop mounts, but not this one. For me at least.

 

You could fit the Ram Mount Tough Track to the dash. I was thinking about it but decided I didn't really need anything up there (I've got a tablet mount connected to a bracket that mounts next to the climate control dials). Just make sure you have some sort of backing plate to distribute the force on the plastic dash.
