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?
