@MongooseGA recently revised those listing a bit to consolidate the Auxbeam engine bay mounts under one item.
For what it's worth though, theres no shipping difference in one order vs splitting it for those two items - the wolfbox mount kit ships from me (in Indiana) and the metal parts ship from @MongooseGA (who is in Georgia).

I had someone reach out and ask about mounting their radio faceplate to the front of the ashtray. That's funny, because I first got started designing these mounts because I had a KG1000 faceplate I wanted to mount there!
Anyways, I had him ship his Kenwood faceplate to me & I got to work. Here's the result - this is designed to snap onto the front of the 98-07 LC (or 98-02 LX) ashtray, replacing the factory trim. It'll be heading his way tomorrow!
Need something odd mounted in a weird space? Shoot me a message!

Someone needed center cap spacers for some snazzy Raceline wheels in a hurry for an upcoming road trip.
They shipped me a center cap & it arrived yesterday - some CAD, a couple quick iterations, and a set of five spacers is headed back to the owner today! I figure a 12 hour turn around time isn't too bad.
Once they verify fitment these will be available over on theartisangarage.com, just like all my other products!
(maybe @choyota needs some?!)

BEHOLD… The Wedgie™: Patent (not actually) pending, dignity certainly not included. Get one over at theartisangarage.com today!
After a series of late-night “what-ifs,” one too many cups of coffee, 6 iterations, and at least three stripped screws, I have finally done it. Lumberjack Engineering has created The Wedgie™ — the phone mount adaptor that turns your useless cassette deck into a gloriously over-engineered mounting station for modern devices.
Installation is simple: You just slide The Wedgie™ into your cassette deck at a slight angle, tighten the three screws, and feel the wedge pull tight into the rear, locking the cheeks, -ahem- tabs in place until the whole thing feels like Excalibur in reverse.
When I say this thing holds tight, I mean TIGHT. I could probably tow a small trailer with it (please don’t). However, if you happen to stumble through a rip in the space-time continuum and end up back in 1995 when the cassette deck was actually useful, removal is just as easy as installation - loosen the three screws, and remove the assembly.
I was so impressed with how well it performs that I'm currently designing The Double Wedgie™ — for when one phone/device just isn’t enough. Just imagine: your phone and your tablet, side-by-side, in perfect wedgied harmony. A true symphony of overkill.
Currently designed to work with a RAM "B" mount diamond base (not included, but the phone mount you see mounted in the photos is available over here, or on Amazon). Want to use a different phone mount? Don't hesitate to reach out! I'll wedgie anyone thing that I can get my hands on.
The Wedgie™ — Because tight fits build character.
(RAM phone mount assembly not included - the first photo shows what will be included (i.e, The Wedgie + necessary hardware)

do you suppose this is robust enough for a smaller tablet?

Absolutely! I'm not kidding when I say I think you'd rip the entire radio console out before the mount let go.

Maybe it's just me and my weak engineer hands, but I found the RAM X-Grip phone mount was a little bit of a pain to open/actuate the arms.
Putting the phone in the mount is bad, but opening the arms up again once the phone was in there was a little annoying. Nothing really to grab on/hold as you do so.... Until now!
I designed these fingerloops to clamp perfectly around the arms of the X-Grip, and they make it SO MUCH EASIER to open the dang things.
Get a set today over at theartisangarage.com! They're $12/pair, so the perfect item to tack onto another order.

I could use two of these for sure. I'm supposed to be getting new wheels, so on standby.

Great solution for the RAM mount quick release. I bought a knockoff RAM style mount off Amazon before Crockies in part because it had these grey rubber tabs on the arms to make releasing the device easier. Works great but they stick back a bit which can be annoying sometimes, especially when repositioning the arm… so this is definitely a better solution.
I bought a $12 wireless charger and taped it to the mount with a 3M adhesive pad. I wonder if a 3D printed MagSafe charger bracket would be helpful to some people?
