    What are you guys using to mount your phone? Looking to get something that works well for the first gen layout.

    Agree with critter. RAM mounts are the deal.. I'm 5 years in using the same RAM mount almost every time I get in the truck (which is my daily.)

    I'm not a 1st gen but the mounting selection is huge. I'll stay tuned into your thread to [hopefully] see details of how some people are mounting their devices in the cherished 1st gen trucks.

    I have the panavise one:
    https://www.panavise.com/pdf_indash/75137-999.pdf

    One of these:
    $27 ARKON Mounts - Car Phone Holder | Secure Grip | Heavy Duty | Drill Base Car Phone Mount | Spring-loaded holder expands up to 7.25"es | For iPhone, Samsung, Google, Nokia, and other Smartphones
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PZZYRFO?ie=UTF8&th=1

    with one of these glued to it:
    TOZO 2025 Upgraded W6 Wireless Magnetic Charger, 15W Max Fast Wireless Charging Pad Compatible with iPhone 16/16 Plus/16 Pro Max /15/14/13/SE/12 Series, Samsung Galaxy S24/S23/S22 Series
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QZFL6N7?ie=UTF8


    I have a RAM X-grip as well but it hits the buttons on my phone unless i place it just so. I use it if I'm bouncing around and don't expect to be taking the phone in and out of the truck alot.

    Also have one on the A pillar, but its a really inconvenient place for a right hander to use a phone. Its where the head for my ham radio lives now.

    Looks like:

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I have the phone on my Tool bag in a holster mount.

    While working we were not allowed to use the phone driving .

    Someone spots you on the phone if you were lucky to get 1 warning they could just give you the boot.
