Ram Mount Location

[drthrnnr]

which base are you planning to use and where are you planning to mount it (front edge of what?). And what do you mean use with a shorter arm, are you planning on having a short arm with a ball then attaching that to the ball on the short arm?

(What you posted is an arm that goes between 2 balls, is that what you meant to post?)

Sorry I was referring to @N/A s original post. I'm looking to do exactly what they did, but with a shorter arm and am wondering if that's even feasible.

Tape isn't reliable and like many others have said. Once i heats up inside the car, the tape will loose its strength. I have drilled too many holes into my car at this point. So I decided to just drew a few more and go with the T4PAM from Expedition Essentials. This thing is great and the USB ports are powered directly to my SPOD so I can charge devices and such when the vehicle isn't on.

For those single overlanders that don't usually carry a passenger, wondering if anyone has modded or mounted their ram bases on Bracketeers or those Extinguisher mounts that LawnDart developed or was involved with, can't remember the name?

Thanks for posting this. I've never seen this before.

I've been using the 3M adhesive bases - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007EZPLFS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6F0KBbGEZA81C - in both vehicles for years without a problem. When I traded in the 05 I had to hit it with a heat gun and peel really slowly to get it to come off. Bought replacement adhesive for a couple bucks and moved it over to the new truck, no issues there either.
