Mounting hand held radio

[sbrimer]

I know many folks use the hand held radios while on the trail and so do I and so do several in the group that I go on the trail with. I have a 2020 JLU and I have been searching for a good place to mount or hold the radio while on the trail. Keeping it in the cup holder is getting old.

To clarify my current set up, I have two 67 designs mount balls, a left and right, that are mounted in the compartment on top of the dash. These are used for my Go-Pro and IPAD Air (I use it for mapping purposes).

I have looked at the grab bar ball mount from CMM and the radio holder from jeepuniq and finally a small arm from 67 designs.

The problem with this setup is that the radio sets further away from me than I like.

I looked around on CMM and I found a ball mount that mounts on the top or bottom of either of the front entry assist grab bars. Exactly where I would like the radio mounted.

HOWEVER, with the single ball mount is $100 with shipping!

Mounting the radio on the entry assist grab bar results in 3 different vendors and a total price of $214.00.

Holy shit!

Does anyone have any other options of mounting a hand held radio either on or in the general area of the drivers side entry assist grab bar?

Buy once, cry once!

checkout Proclip USA.

they have an inexpensive mount that I utilize that gives me the versatility to place the mount in a broad range across the width of the dash. This could possibly allow you to keep all of your items together centralized on the dash.

I have one and I think it works well.

If you don’t see what you are looking for in their site, I’d recommend reaching out to them. They could possibly help you come up with a solution. Good luck!!!

I know. I drop $200 on some things and don't bat an eye. This, I'm struggling with.

I’m doing this as well and have been leaning towards something that will hold my handheld by the belt clip. I haven’t looked into it much, but it should be fairly easy to figure out something that will work with my 67 designs rail or the dash.

I’m very pleased with the CMM mount and supporting a small business. Just waiting on the JeepUniq mount for my MXT275 since I added another RAM ball mount to the CMM one on the grab bar.
