Super happy with these phone mountings. Pretty rigid and took about 10 minutes.
Careful, that's a gateway to buying a rooftop tent.
Quit looking at my Google history!
I really like mine too. Which mounting option did you choose?
Removed old ac components and flushed and cleaned the evap and hoses. Installed new condenser, accumulator, compressor, orfice tube. Added oil according to FSM. Tomorrow will see if it will hold a vacuum, then recharge.
Put my fender back on...used stainless riv nuts and 3/8-16 stainless fasteners with 3/16 Allen heads...which match the sliders I installed last week so the fasteners match. Need to get some stainless fender washers.
On a side note I used my digital angle finder and zeroed it out on the side tubes. Used it to align the rear fender... confirmed the number on the front...the other side is .09 off...wonder if the frame has a little twist.

Same here. My phone will shake/vibrate quite a bit more than I expected just rolling down the road. I wondered if a different mounting option would be more stable. At the end of the day, the massive plastic thing its mounted to is probably the culprit.
Cab covers are handy- a couple
Of scraps of wood or about anything to lay across the roll cage can really help prevent pooling above the seats- the bikini top should too.
I took my youngest son to Leeds , outskirts of Birmingham ,to get a used truck-
Awesome ride, one area has about a mile of Mimosa trees lining the road (persian silk trees) that look like a Dr. Suess drawing -
the deal went smooth-
The ride back I took a nice, suprisingly wide 2 lane county road that was just great - I just rolled with it, the beautiful houses, smell of farms - a few drops of rain -
Right now I’m about to turn in - you know, these things can bring a little magic into your life - get out there in them, you’ll see what I mean -

Before winter I'm going to have to remove the dash to get at the heater core, I'm thinking I'm going to figure out a way to mount it solid as I put it back together

Didn't know this until this weekend, but if you have an LJ with the Trektop, but you can tuck the bar of the back window under the sunrider and it will stay there up till at least 60mph. Neat.
It's not tucked under the top here, the bar is just laying on the top, but it visualized what I'm talking about.

Pulling a vacuum to check for leaks. Then if all good recharge.

I use satin black Rustoleum on all my under carriage,
No more wet ass in the morning when I drive home from work. That’s a win in my book any day lol
X2 for satin black rustoleum. I sprayed a coat of flat first and didn’t really like the look. Satin looks way better.

Went for a 143 mile drive down some pretty terrible and brushy Forest service and BLM roads scouting for trash. Found two more RVs bringing our total to 7 to haul out. My friend got his building inspector license so he can legally test them for asbestos...which we have to do before the FS will allow us to volunteer to haul them to the dump.
Finished wiring up my Powerwerx pod in the back corner. Dual USB quick charge and regular USB in one 1 1/8" arrived from Amazon...passed all my diagnostics...very picky about power... don't want to fry an expensive camera or phone.
Road test also let me test some improvements to my Bulletproof Mounts phone holder. I recently pulled the center console to wire up my defrost switch...so while it was out I put a 1/8" layer of JB weld and some stainless heavy woven screen material (used for reinforcement on plastic welding a septic tank a neighbor knocked a hole in with an excavator...long story) in the corner. Phone is steady as a rock. I didn't use BM's center plate...rather I used their universal one and put it in the corner.
