Best Dash Rail Mount?

[Callelk]

I have the ram but no Bronco "yet". I went with it because it works with the Mabett USB. Plan on putting my Garmin Tread and Go Pro on it and have read both good and bad reports. We'll see.........

Forgot to mention, I'm going to use the "diamond" shaped mounts with "T" bolts so they are going to add some stiffness to the rail.

I know you said you'd like no drill/screw, but the Bulletpoint RubiGrid system is awesome. The base does screw to the dash, but in the unlikely event that I ever want to remove it, I'll just get some of those rubber inserts for the dash to cover up the holes.

I ordered this, should be in soon. I wasn't aware it required drilling. That's a bummer. Hope I like it.

If you can get past the idea of screwing into the dash, I think you will like it. It's really not that big of a deal as they make no-slip rubber inserts to go in the dash recesses that would cover up the holes if you ever removed the base. For me, I see no reason that I would ever remove it...

Also, if you were really opposed to using screws, you could probably get by with judicious use of 3M tape.

I like this one but don’t think it will work with the Mabett/IAG USB dock.

I like the archetype racing SLAP BPM it is small with only 3 mounting points, looks great, and is rock solid. Probably not for everyone but it fits my needs well

I went with the Tackform. It is really beefy and has enough room to mount two gauges and my GoPro.

Many thanks all for the input--it's what makes this a great community!

The Full Shebang is pretty cool:

Did you use all 6 screws into the dash

I checked with a few current owners and they are satisfied just using the 3M tape that comes with it. I have the RubiGrid on my Ram and love it. As far as using the grab handles I just took a mini tablet clamp and used BulletPoint hardware on it. The clamp had a 25mm ball and BulletPoint uses 20mm but they also sell upsize arm clamp ends or ball ends.
No reason this wouldn't work on the side grab handles. With 2 ball pivot points options are pretty broad. I also like the wireless auto-clasping phone holder. This is the small one and it is just big enough for my iPhone 11 or 15 with a moderately think case. If it was an Otterbox case or something similar. it wouldn't fit. They do have a larger phone clamp.
Sorry about the bad pick but it should get the idea across.

I used only 4 screws - one at each corner.

This is the only one I've seen that does that. Probably a bit overkill for most though...

Actually I like this better than the BAM rail that I bought and will be here in the next week. I may have to change...

I went with the Ram Rail as I installed the Mabett dock and it is the only one that required a slight modification for the USB A. Both USB B's are clear. I had my Garmin Tread Overland with the "C" ball and long, aluminum, "C" Arm and its total weight was over 4 lbs. It did shake to much but considering the weight I wasn't surprised. I moved the Tread to a "B" size ball and Bulletpoint Arm off the console and I am using the rail for my GoPro, Phone and Gamin 200i. No issues.

I have the Archetype Racing rail as well - Ltd Edition Raptor Code Orange rail.

I have a rail similar Ram mount. Works great for what I need it for and is plenty rigid. Pic of rail showing my patent pending ball cap clip.

Nice upgrade from the clothespin! I need to do the same; I regret it every time I throw the hat into the backseat. 2 door problems.

CallElk got pics.. I don't have a lux pkg with the power port up front and i despise cords hanging everywhere. I can't find a solution. Thanks!
