wait, those are molded pieces of the dash??!?! thats lame
I need to know if there is some place to bolt an insert into. If there is nothing to attach to behind there its a lost cause.

Great setup!
Did you get the flat insert or did you add an angled one on to get it set up right? Can you post a pic or two?
Thanks
Just the flat insert for now. Don't use the RAM ball I linked, the threads are too short and will eventually come loose, even with some loctite. Use this one instead. I've got all 3 inserts populated with 3 of these, and 2 are now used, 1 for the phone mount, and one for the matching tablet mount, and used this double arm extension to space it away. There might be a little more vibration than I would like, but for the convenience and aesthetics (and me not having to drill into my center console), definitely worth it.
Any update on our lame molded piece area?

Bumping this thread to see if @NLXTACY has come up with a slick solution for the ashtray yet...or the blank 'molded area' on the dash. Maybe I'll pull mine off to see if there are any mounting holes behind (1994 FZJ here).
While scouring for a good phone mounting location, I pulled out the ashtray and immediately went to the Wits' End website hoping to find a solution similar to the 'useless cubby insert'. Back to the drawing board for this long road trip and phone mounting solutions.

Wits’ End has a ‘95-‘97 SwitchPro mount for the ashtray. The mount is well thought out, high quality, with a clean look. The mount is rock solid without any movement or vibration. Another top notch Wits’ End product and happy customer.Bumping this thread to see if @NLXTACY has come up with a slick solution for the ashtray yet...or the blank 'molded area' on the dash.

Excuse the interior in mid-project mode, but here’s a couple pics.

I find it hilariously awesome that you’re still running the oem radio.
Hahaha... The stock radio is actually doing a pretty good job. My budget went towards bumpers, axles, and gears, but I was able to upgrade to Focal 165AC speakers in the doors, which the stock LX450 amp has enough power to drive. I use a Bluetooth FM radio adapter to play my music from my phone. Works and sounds pretty good. Sometime wish I had tweeters near the A pillar, but this works for now.I find it hilariously awesome that you’re still running the oem radio.

Sooo the useless cubby insert base I just ordered for my 93 fzj won't work with this?
Any solutions for us pre 95 guys?
I found a nice solution for those who have the 3D printed dual cup holder.
Ram has a stam mount kit that fits perfectly!

Could work for any cavity in a wide size range in my mind.
This is the before and after, it gives a clean install in a good position.

anyone got a useless cubby insert for sale.. Wits end has been out for some time. doesnt seem like they are coming back anytime soon.. any alternative solutions?
Check out Maxflate air systems. I know the guy here in Dallas. His useless cubby mount works great and I'm loving mine. He has a few cool options that go with the basic ram mount insert as well.
