Possibly the last phone mount you'll ever buy?

Gotta say I’m pretty happy with this phone mount. I’ve been struggling with different brands (both rather costly and cheap) over the years that either attached to the windshield with a suction cup or vent attachments that get in the way of the AC/heat. This mount doubles as a cup holder and doesn’t get in the way of any vents or my radio.

Bolted behind the passenger grab bar. Rather thick metal construction so I’m hoping it won’t vibrate like most mounts do. Can even fit my phone horizontally. The most surprising thing is that it only cost me $6.99

That looks like a nice design! I like the hinge mount on it so that it can accommodate virtually any phone without having to get a new holder.

Got a link to it?

Or you can monitor eBay for the auction listings that start at $5.99. They aren’t that popular I guess because I was the only bidder. They have many auction listings for them constantly

I’ve been digging my Rockform case and magnetic mounting system but that looks like a solid option as well.

*Side Note: what radio is that? Super clean looking!

Yea I got it directly from China two years ago on alibaba marketplace, they send to US sellers and they sell here for $450 but I paid $200.

Here is an example of the one I got:

Haha that’s awesome! How was the install? Mine is a 2000 TJ and I notice they specify 2003-2005 tj.

I wonder why that is, because the mount is just a plate with a hold in it. The bolt of the grab bar goes through it and you tighten it back down with the same hardware. Can't imagine the 97-02 is much different.
 
I've never been a fan of mounting accessories in front of airbags.

hard to see from the angles of the photos but the mount is JUST past the passenger airbag so i doubt it would be in a direct path if deployed. I retook a picture from the passenger perspective with the phone loaded
