New setup for the rail. Traded out the RAM Mounts arm for a TackForm telescoping arm along with smaller ball adapters. Lighter weight and looks cleaner. Still no phone holder/charger since Belkin sent me a totally different item! Also got the mount for my Insta360 camera. It’s made by Rail Dogz and is really nice!

Curious how that Belkin charger works, once it comes in. I had a cheap one that looks similar, but I didn’t charge correctly.

Ordered - 2/3/21
Built - 9/21/21
Shipped - 9/23/21
Delivered - 10/7/21

My Order Story

I originally selected a MOD top for my Bronco, but after hearing that the top was going to be delayed to 2023, I had a tough decision to make. I attended the Austin Off-Roadeo and had a chance to drive a Badlands with a soft top. I loved how easy it was to use whenever I felt like it. That, along with the news that Ford would include hard top prep kit made it easy for me to change my order to a soft top. Two weeks later (9/2/21) I got the “Scheduled for Production” email with a build week of 10/4/21. To my surprise, after about another three weeks (9/22/21), I got the email that my Bronco was built and on 9/24/21 I was notified that my Bronco had shipped! I was about two weeks ahead of schedule! My Bronco was finally delivered on 10/7/21 and I picked it up on 10/9/21. I was fortunate enough to purchase from an honest dealership for $1,000 under invoice.

Picked up from the dealer. I don’t smile in pics much, so this says a lot about how happy I am 🤣

This is my base…

Then this screws on to the base…

Then the arm…

https://www.tackform.com/products/20mm-ball-and-socket-telescoping-arm-7-to-9

Then this ball adapter…

https://www.tackform.com/products/17mm-ball-to-20mm-ball

From here you can select whatever phone holder you want so long as it fits a 17mm ball. If not, then just get a different size ball adapter. For me, I'm trying this out...

Installed the Koverz armrest cover. Didn’t really think I needed it, but at $15 it was hard to pass up. Plus, I like supporting the vendors on this forum. Snug fit and the added cushion definitely makes the armrest a lot more comfortable and worth the buy. I like cheap mods!

Forgot to update my thread earlier, but finally received my Belkin Boost Charge Magnetic Wireless Car Charger on Christmas Eve that I’m using for my phone holder on the BYOD rail. Makes for a pretty clean setup.

The holder is a magnetic charger. There’s still a usb cable (not pictured) that connects from the holder to the power on the dash.
