Now we wait and see if it holds over time .

I love the location and where it places the phone, exactly where I wanted it:







Of course it's all for naught if it falls off .

Not for naught, that's a sweet little piece of home brewed solution.
If it does manage to fall off take a deep breath and drill a hole in the bottom support and correspondingly in the dash or use extra strong magnets that will fit with the plastic support behind the dash or some other more inventive less invasive innovation.
Promising.

That's true, and that's my plan B if this fails. Putting screws through the dash, while painful, would definitely make it super rigid. But it's holding so far, so I'll wait and see.

Thanks for the compliments!

This is an old picture of my interior, but you can see I just used a suction base RAM mount. It falls off about 5x a year at random...but its been sturdy for years, and I can switch it between vehicles.

RAM mount balls are now installed in two locations. One if the bottom Oh Shit bar hole and one in the j-shifter trim piece. @4Runner4Leon I did end up drilling the j-shift trim to mount the ball. These photo's are of my Fiio X3 and not my phone cause it's hard to take a picture of your phone with your phone. lol

First thing I did after install was go bomb some dirt roads. The same roads that have made ever other phone holder I've purchased fail. Neither location moved. It's f'ing bomber. I should have just sucked it up and payed for the RAM mount a long time ago.

I like it so much I'm ordering another RAM mount and arm. For now I'll use the lower location for my MP3 player. When the new mount gets here I'll run USB C and a 3.5mm jack over to the grab handle location. My phone will go there. It'll be easy to see Torque Pro in that location. The ball sits a little too far in and limits range of motion for the arm currently. Before the final install I'll get a longer bolt and add a few washers to extend it about 3/8". It'll tilt up further then and clear my line of sight to my trans temp gauge.

No pics of the install cause it's that simple. lol

Thanks! No doubt that your setup is bulletproof, it does not rely on any adhesives. I'll see how mine holds up, but it's good to have backup options like yours!

Yep. See the glue residue in the second photo just up and left of my Fiio? That's from a failed attempt with glue. It was just some shit adhesive I had laying around the house. I'll get some Goo Off and clean it up one year. If I was gonna "glue" again I'd use a 2 part epoxy like JB Weld.

I dug this thread up from page 9 to give a big thumbs up to RAM mounts. I went wheeling the other day and both my phone and my mp3 player stayed in there mounts. Not only that the mounts stayed attached to there anchor points. I'm happy and content. Finally. lol

I have one I posted in FB and IG. I can't get a pic in here
