Alright @BenCC and @suprarx7nut I just put in my order for the M2V2!!! Stoked to get this!

 

[Hokie LX]

I was really excited for the M2V2 since I use a QuadLock/Ram mount combo on my motorcycles and other vehicles. However, I then remembered that the 2003+ LXs have a solid wood trim piece and I can't use the M2V2

Any creative plans for adapting a Ram 1" ball mount in the 2003+ LX's that retain the AHC controller? Maybe in one of the empty switch positions or in the ash tray?

Did you remove the empty switch? I want to look at the back of the switch. Maybe I can make something.

The same switch mechanism exists behind the block off plate. It pushes in and out.

 

[BenCC]

Is the circled piece removable?
Can you mail that piece with the blank switch to me?

Make 2 V2: Ram Ball Base Mount

1. Overview of the Final Product

View attachment 2299652

This is the final product, M2V2, installed on my truck.
View attachment 2299627

2 Introduction

The design has two parts, the backing bracket and the face panel. The backing bracket is to reinforce the factory panel. Three existing fixture points are used.

View attachment 2299616

The following figure shows the whole assembly (Ram ball mount is not included in the order).
All fasteners are 18-8 stainless steel and will be provided.
Three #4 Flat Head Thread-Forming Screws for Plastic
Two 10-24 Nylon-Insert Locknuts (Black-Oxide)
Two 10-24 Socket Head Screws (Black-Oxide)

3 Fabrication

The face plate is printed using chopped carbon-fiber nylon. It has a matte black surface finish. No painting/sanding/prepping is needed.

The backing bracket is printed with ABS.

This is the first project that I cooperated with @suprarx7nut utilizing his fantastic Markforged printer. The chopped carbon-fiber nylon has very high stiffness and high toughness compared to ABS I used on most of my makes.

Timothy,

The first batch was sold out. I and @suprarx7nut want to hold the production and wait for the feedbacks. If any modification is needed, we will make the change on second batch.

Ben,
Thanks for the lightening quick reply. I look forward to the next M2V2 run.

I also have a question about the updated version of the overhead 6 switch mount. I like the thought/fact that the switches seem more visible and accessible, but, I'm am 6'4" and based on a couple of the photos you've posted, I'm afraid that the new version might block the rear view. Is that the case?

It may block the rear view. I can send you both versions and you keep the version that works for you.

Ben,
Geez.....You can't ask for any better customer service than that. Let's do it. Should we take this over to a PM or phone discussion?

Nice... Looking for my to show up soon.
I grabbed the ball mount, X-Mount and an arm already for my phone. So will be nice to get the iOttie of my dash.

 

[Hugh Heifer]

I have one of those truck stop cell phone holders. They fit on any those ball mounts. Very useful for all kinds of stuff.

 

[BenCC]

First batch was mailed out.
Some of you have paid through PayPal but didn’t get a tracking number. Then you are in the second batch. We will wait for the feedback and may do some revision if necessary. Thanks for your support and patience.
