I watched two big totes of SLAPs get picked up yesterday. I would say we are in full swing with shipping SLAPs out.

I received and mounted mine.

After removing the two OEM screws, the instructions tell you to use a plastic pry tool to disengage the clips on the OEM mounting apparatus. The clips are at the two corners of the OEM apparatus closest to you. I did not have a plastic pry tool, so I inserted my AR BYODR screw into the center hole on the OEM apparatus and then placed a flat-edge screwdriver under that screw and gently pulled the entire thing upwards to expose the clips. Then I just wormed my finger under the plastic and pulled up the rest of the way to completely remove the OEM apparatus.

Hope this helps for those receiving their mounts!

Just mounted mine. I can tell you, Ford couldn't have placed those T20's in a worse place/angle. They were a freakin nightmare to get out and back in. At least for me and I have done a fair amount of wrenching on this vehicle since I have gotten it. BTW, heed Curtis's instructions, it is a T20, not a Torx Plus 20. At least the regular T20 is what worked for me. Weird since I have used Torx Plus on everything else on this truck.

What is this? I don't see it on your website? Is it a mount for a smartphone?

Thanks Curtis, I was slapped today in the mail. I hope that you are watching the Chiefs tonight. They have a new guy from KState

There are three things in your picture, Archetypes SLAP mounting point, the Ram Mount (from Ram) and the magnetic phone mount. Only one of those items you will find on Curtis's website. If you are asking what the SLAP is for, yes it is for mounting phones and anything else you want to mount from there, many of us will mount a BYOD rail to that mounting point in order to mount multiple items. Curtis built the SLAP to replace Ford's sub par mounting point because many have experienced it loosening up and don't want to have several items projectiling off the dashboard should there be an accident. I hope this helps.

thanks!

holy cow what a rabbit hole this turned out to be (in a good way). So ordering the SLAP and found the RAM mount.

But I am unable to find the magnetic phone mount from the photo above. It looks like it might be magsafe compatible, but after several searches I cannot figure out the manufacturer. So if anyone knows and can provide a link to it that would be much appreciated.

Never mind, found the company: Quad Lock. Unfortunately, it isn't a magsafe adapter but a proprietary one, so it won't work for me.
