Picatinny accessories I'd like to see

[Locked-n-loaded]

If it's a standard size rail, you should be able to buy adapter type mounts that will work with most of the items you're interested in mounting, right off the shelf today

Not only that because picatinny is decades old universal I can take that one further... I can actually make picatinny based mounts with a 3D printer I've already done it many times for other projects so if something cool isn't officially made that I want I can design it in 3D print it and make it for myself.

Forget a holster, a mount for one of these ...

If the windshield can fold down like it can on my fj40 then we can talk about this ?

I wonder if the reason they dropped it was related to licensing. (Vs figuring more lay people will recognize cheese grater picatinny and think it’s cool.)

Just glad they didn’t go with KeyMod.

I posted it in another thread but I'll say it here... the simple decades old ubiquitous of the proven picatinny rail system is ten times better than anything else on the market, period. mlock and everything else is cool, but it's a very limited (I have both on firearms & I'll take picatinny any day). Therw aren't as many accessories and people have accessories for picatinny rails that go back decades. It's the most universal, it's the most ubiquitous, it's the most easily found, it's the most logical choice no doubt irrespective of the cool factor. You can find a hundred or so mlock products you can find thousands of picatinny products. Other styles were mainly designed for the AR-15 to reduce weight and bulk of the fore grip, which has zero purpose in this setup. Picatinny is the proper way.

Sorry if this have been asked. Is this rail mount available as standard or option from factory? I'm really interested as I have ram mounts from previous set up with JL and Tacoma that i may be able to attach to this base mount. I also saw somewhere in the forum, a fantaseal mount that can be attach to the base mount. Thanks in advance.

You know honestly I don't know. I'm not paying attention a lot too what comes on what at this stage. but I'm sure either 1) it comes as part of a package on certain models 2) you could likely buy aftermarket and install it which I have done tons of times on other vehicles even if I didn't order direct from the factory at purchase time. I'm willing to bet you they're going to use a very similar dashboard but if you don't order it it's not installed and if you order it it's installed as the bolt holes are already there.

Modular front bumper. Too many dashboard clearance issues otherwise.

Now that I'm thinking about it, one cable from Ford's socket going to a splitter on the rail might provide the best opportunity to hide the cables going in to the splitter with some clips that go on to the rail. So the lower trim level might have the cleanest option haha.

I'm surprised this rail, and the Jeep accessory rails don't have some slick cable management system...

It very may well have one and we haven't seen it yet, but yeah that's a good point.

Well we're about 30 mins of CAD and 1 3D printer away from having it if they don't sell it, so ?‍

A 3D printer will resolve any ugly & unsightly cables should there not be an option. All cables & wires in my vehicles are hidden or covertly routed (radars, dash cams, phones, etc). A clean presentation is key.

I'd much prefer M-Lok.

I was a little disappointed when I saw the 1913 rails in the recent vids, if only because I think this version below just looks better.

Edit: However, we know for sure that the picatinny rail will work with the Chick Fil-A sauce mount.

We can be friends.

Im just gonna mount some disco and strobe lights. Why?

 

[aplm7]

Wouldn't MLOK be pretty difficult to add and remove stuff way up on the dash? I always have to get one finger under it to find and hold everything together. This standard rail is better

You know you can just turn the gun over and look in, right?

The original one that was teased look like picatinny width without the cheese grater ridges and MLOK slots, so best of both worlds?

But I agree, if the goal is quick attach and detach, straight picatinny makes a lot of sense.
MLOK would he doable for a more permanent solution, but it’s not solving the problem of picatinny In the Bronco like it does on a foregrip.

Given its placement, I would add a griddle. Sizzle up some bacon in minutes during summer.

If no one steps up and offers something, it’s possible to get pretty creative with the individual components.

I’ve mounted ram balls to some pretty interesting things with the correct size drill bit and nut.

Also, without doing any research, I wonder if the thread/diameter of an available ram would match this camera mount...

Perfect example. With this 1 easy to find picatinny/camera mount you can pretty much make anything if you have creativity & skill. As well, you can easily 3d print attachments for this picatinny clamp for virtually any device. Even a cool EDC pen holder.
