My Custom RAM GPS mount

Rado · Sep 7, 2017

Not really custom just cut a piece of plastic lol Like most of us with a remote GPS with suction mount we think they suck lol plus not alot of good solid mounting points! After a member here showed me one he bought and gave me the link I checked it out ! Around 35 $ for the base and about 25$ for the mount :crazy:

Well being the tight *** I am I made my own ! :happy107:

All parts less the 9$ Picked up a Mounting Arm off a Friction bag 6$ a piece of 6"x8" 1/8" plastic with a textured surface 3$ and tons left over
a couple longer screw to remount to the bezel .60

Looks good

Now patent and sell them.

Looks great! I bought a Bayou Goat Mount that goes in that same spot. Holds my Garmin GPS and GoPro. Never thought about making one myself...great idea!

Now grab a set of 6 of these:

Stick about 3 of them down the passenger side of the center dash and get that cord out of the way

I'm a bit OCD about cords hanging down...so its just a suggestion!

Thanks everyone ! I never was a fan of the suction mount and being a tight *** could not see spending a lot on the mount lol

Nothing wrong with that. The $6 sticky things to hold the cords off to the side work well. I had the same ones on my Durango for 2.5 years without issue. I have 3 now on the passenger side of my Rebel dash to keep 2 cords out of the way.

Not the best pic...I'll get another taken soon and post it up.

I will definitively get a set of those clips

Simple but looks like they do a good job

Looking forward to another pic

FYI you need a BIGGER dash to add more goodies to lol

They're cheap and an easy way to keep the cord out of the way...I'm sure you'll like 'em!

Is that a dash cam? If so what kind do you have?

Not a dash Cam but I will be getting one soon! Not sure brand yet, just in the thinking stage , BUT Unxpctd has the dash cam

unxpctd · Sep 21, 2017

I have a Z3 Dash Cam. Never given me any issues. It loops so its plug and forget. If you need footage saved then you just hit a button.

I run a Go Pro 3+ for trips through National Parks and other fun stuff...but the dash cam is for idiot drivers and documentation.

that's exactly how I mounted my rear camera

My buddy saw the clips and had to get a set :O

I really love this little things....cheap and makes it look cleaner keeping the cords out of the way and secured....but still easy to remove them if needed.

I picked up a couple packs. Gave a set to a buddy of mine. He likes them alot

I also added a few to my desk top PC , Good cheap little item that really works lol. Also my homemade GPS holder is still going strong

I added a couple strips of double side tape to the bottom, let the paper on the bottom side as I did not want to stick it to the dash.. Absorbs a little vibration

Like Rado's custom mount. Had the same thought in mind on the mounting for the Garmin GPS. I am curious of how Rado mounted the elbow to the plastic plate? I was thinking epoxy. I was also thinking of popping the radio panel out and snaking the charging cable inside dash to make a more custom install look (come out near lower drawer next to cigarette lighter). Anybody have any thoughts, advice. Ty for any advice in advance.
