I wouldn’t have the head room for that.

the phone is maybe 2" off the ROPS Ill take a pic later, thats just what I had on my phone.

You could always mount it elsewhere or use the RAM strap mount I use for my tablet, and shift it to the right over Bayleaf she's not as gigantor as you are.

Mounted this RAM ball on the dash 3 yrs ago, used that and the short arm for the Garmin Montana. Mounted this 8" tablet tonight using those same parts. This is a powered mount that's hardwired so whenever it's in the cradle it's charging. The cradle can be unplugged and taken out too. RAM mounts are the sh**! :cool:

Dude badass, where’d you get that steering wheel cover? Looks like a bicycle tire. Dig the green! Not having the Auto/ manual switch in the dash gives you some extra space too.

I know the ram is the go to but that thing is ugly as home made sin.

This works and is clean you can add 2 on one phone if your riding super rough.

Found it on ebay. It's silicone rubber. Ordered from a US supplier and they kept sending me the wrong color, finally admitted that they didn't have the color I ordered. Ended up ordering it from China and waited 6 weeks to get it, at least it was the right color. ;)

Trigger where did u get the passenger grab handle?

Jak made a few back in the day. Last I heard he was going to start making them again but don't think he has yet. One thing I've learned after being on here as long as I have, if a member starts making a mod or accessory for sale, jump on it right away if you think you'll want one. At any point they could choose to stop making them and that's it, no longer available. ;)

We don’t exactly have a whole lot of extra room in and on our P5’s especially since my box was installed. There’s a small triangle of space between the box and the manual/auto transmission switch where I thought I’d put a Ram mount for my IPad to use in conjunction with my GPS, but now I’ve got little room to find a place to mount the phone so I can do iTunes with a Bluetooth speaker. Where are y’all mounting your gadgets? Also what kind of mounting systems are you using?
I have been 100% happy with this setup.

Mounted a Ram ball to the dash for the tablet and a short extender. I'm really liking that I can adjust it to the right angel. I also mounted a Ram ball to the frame kind of at the top of the windshield and used a 4" extender to get it away from everything in it's area. I couldn't really find any more room to mount much more, unless something behind my head. Still looking for a bluetooth speaker to mount up there, but not be in danger of smacking me noggin when we go a floppin.

Side note; the ram mount for the phone that holds it in place, presses up against the on/off button on one side of my iPhone and the volume controls on the other. Of course you can move it up or down a little but, then the rubber band thing mounted on the back for each corner is stretched too far to the top or bottom. Kinda a pita....

Bought some black spray paint to touch up all the places that have seen rougher trails. Also bought a gallon of my favorite color to paint the bed I'm building for my rear storage reconfiguration.
