Count me in for a set of the 2nd row mounts, that's a perfect location for a big flashlight I have that has a type-C charger and I have a charging station on the driver's side right next to it.

I'm interested in seeing how this looks when you do it. I also like to keep a big type-C charged flashlight in the truck, and my map pockets are full.
This is such a great accessory, I'm excited to get them on the site!

IT'S FINALLY DONE! 03-07 Landcruiser 'The Wedgie™' phone mount design has finally been tuned in & validated. It's now available as an option to order here:
"The Wedgie" - The ultimate Phone Mount Adaptor for the 100 Series LX

Waiting on actual Landcruiser photos tomorrow, but the exterior of The Wedgie™ LC edition looks exactly the same as the LX - it's just the inside geometry that had to get tuned in over 10 different iterations (I've spent so much shipping these things around the country, hahah).
The best phone mount out there IMO!
Not a fan of the RAM mount? Let me know what you'd like to see the The Wedgie™ mount fit! The exterior is easily adaptable to any phone mount base.
Side note: I think this new LC version will work for the navigation-equipped 98-02 LX470. If you've got one of those and are interested in test fitting a Wedgie, let me know!

Question - Does the wedgie and/or the ram mount come with the hardware to mount the RAM to the wedgie? If not could you provide specs for the hardware I will need to do so?

The RAM mount (at least, the phone mount linked in the description) comes with the hardware!
Nice pic of my recently installed Center Console Lid Organizer Rack, it holds my staun deflators, Icon wheel lug nut socket, socket that fits on the icon, slime tire gauge, flashlight and allen key for wheel center caps. It works very well, just a bit heavy with this metal stuff, if it slams it can dislodge things. The organizer was really well constructed though and installation was as easy as pushing the pins out of the old cupholder insert. Now this stuff doesn't roll around and create a chaotic mess to dig through
I blew my tire like the next day in Azusa canyon and it was really nice to pull them out of this thing and put them back so they didn't get lose, i hadn't expected to need to use them so soon!

Thanks for the excellent picture! And condolences for your tire.
Wondering how or if the wedgie would work on a gx470… I’ve got the owl expo mount in my lx but would like to get a mount for the wife’s gx.

I actually had someone else reach out today about this! Do you happen to have a set of calipers to measure with?

Great!
If you could grab height/width of the cassette deck (both at the 'outside' of the trim and the inside of the trim right before it opens to the inside) would be great.
Also, the "depth" of the trim.
Please grab the height measurements from the left side, which should be the more narrow side (measurements labeled B and E - I drew E on the "wide" side, but please use the narrow side).
Cool, I’ll get that for you tomorrow!
I love how responsive LJE is to customer requests, ideas, and feedback! This is one of the aspects of the site that makes it so amazing and popular.
What are your thoughts on developing a TEQ emblem insert for my Garage Alpha grille . . .
and maybe TEQ center caps for my factory wheels . . .
and, and, and . . . what I really want to know is if you can make a headlight bulb seal for the Sylvania LED low beam bulbs since I'm too cheap to upgrade past that right now:
Once we get moved into the new house (this weekend) and get things organized, I have a whole bunch of stuff I want to order from y'all.
Of course, I *have* to do the brakes first!

Hahahaha! If it was only my ideas that I created, it'd get boring fast. I love helping bring other people's ideas to life and solve problems.
TEQ insert for the grille is probably pretty easy to do. I'm actually kicking around making my own grille, but that's down the road...
Center caps for factory wheels are probably a little out of the question - I just think they'd be too expensive for me to make for them to be attractive to folks, unfortunately.
Regarding headlights - Do you have an LC or and LX? If you're fancy like me with an LX, I definitely think I can make something for you based off of this design: LX470 Projector Retrofit Backside Cap - https://theartisangarage.com/products/lx470-projector-retrofit-backside-cap

My tail caps are actually designed to reuse that factory rear cap o-ring! They've got a spot for it. And then on the connector cable side it's designed to use the morimoto cable gasket/bung.
I'll grab you dimensions later today - I can always make modifications to it, but IIRC the driver's side is already very close to the battery.

So - from the bottom of face that the O-ring sits against to the bottom of the cap is ~36mm, just shy of 1.5". How far out from the back of the light houses do these bulbs protrude when installed? I know the bulb tail is 1.5" from the locking flange, but not actually sure how that translates into 'stick out' from the rear of the housing.
Like I said, I can increase the depth, but the drivers side is already close to touching the battery.
The cable exit (blue arrow) is designed to use these seals: Amazon.com: Morimoto D2S Ballast Housing Seals D2S Ballast Housing Seal (Single Piece) : Automotive - https://www.amazon.com/Morimoto-Ballast-Housing-Seals-Single/dp/B07DX8LLLB
The recessed groove allows them to 'lock in' tightly to the housing. FWIW, I've yet to see any sort of water inside of my housings. I've not quite used my LX as a submarine, but it's gone through a couple decent water crossings and no issues!
