Is it RHD compatible tho? Hard to tell from your website info as the pics show it angled over for LHD. Can it "rotate/skew" over to suit RHD?
Best phone mount?

It can rotate and pivot in any direction? Should be fine on RHD.

I use the same mounts. They are great. The tape failed in my work truck twice, so I cleaned it off and restuck it down with double sided gorilla tape. All is well now

@bhicks - have you ever considered coming up with a similar mounting solution for the ashtray insert area? I'm running a '94, so don't have the cupholder insert. Seems like a similar solution could be provided using the ashtray insert space. Just thought I would raise the question for thought/consideration... 
EDIT: Just noticed the 91-94 mount setup. Is it possible to produce one of these to accommodate a RAM base mount? I.e. same curvature of the base to attach the 4 screws to the open area, and then possibly bump out the curved base area enough to then mount a ~2"x~2" RAM base unit on some sort of flat surface? Love the mount location in that open space, but already own a bunch of RAM goodies (and they've served me well). Thanks!

We actually have a 1" RAM ball mount for that exact spot on the 91-94. We have about a 1/2 dozen of them in stock. We have not launched that product yet. Waiting to get fully settled into our new shop out here in Kentucky. It basically is our dash mount with a 1" ram ball mounted to it instead of a phone mount. Allows anything that mounts to a RAM ball to mount to it. If you want one then order the 91-94 phone mount and then message me you want the RAM ball version so I can attach that request to the order and let the shipper know.@bhicks - have you ever considered coming up with a similar mounting solution for the ashtray insert area?

Finally got our new shop set up here in Kentucky and are starting to get our new products rolled out for the holiday season coming up. Here's a pic of our old phone mount design BUT with the new Ram Ball option instead of our cell phone mount set up. We have the same 1" Ram ball option now available for our 95-97 dash bezel as one of the insert options. Pictures of that are coming soon. We also switched brands for our cell phone mounts to something a bit beefier. Our old cell phone mounts had a couple occassions where they cracked from a large phone/tablet being hung on them during extreme offroad situations so we looked at a dozen other brands and tested them and found our new option to be the best. Here is a link to what our current cell phone mount will be. We simply remove the suction cup section and use our 3D printed adapted to mount it to our dash bezels.

Sorry, meant to get pics posted up sooner but I was prepping for a trip. I can say I've used it on highway and off road (Moab and CO) without issue. This is not a real secure mounting spot with the thin plastic in the dash and I don't believe that edge of the dash is screwed down but works for a fairly heavy phone. There is a slight jiggle in my RAM mount/arm but feel like it's plenty secure. I would not try a longer arm or heavier tablet. Thanks for another solution!
This is a great idea and I would love to duplicate it.
How did you manage to pull out the air vents?
I really like the look of this setup. What length arm did you go with? All I can find is a medium length arm. Maybe I am not looking hard enough... LOL!!!Ive been very happy with my Ram X. I purchased the surface mount, extension, ipad holder, and iPhone holder for about $40.

Ram mount but with a magnetic base for the phone. I've never had my phone move on me.
Wits End cubby insert & Ram Mounts
Sick of my phone rattling around in the center cubby. I went with cheap and simple. We’ll see…

Seems solid
I went through $150 of "cheap" phone holders because the RAM mounts were "too expensive". I was replacing a broken phone holder every few months and fighting them constantly.
I've had the RAM mounts now for 4 years and use them hard all the time. I now have RAM mounts for every vehicle I own.
Buy once, cry once.
