The BEST Cheap Overland Interior Mounts & Mods for ANY VEHICLE - Magnets!

[@oldmanhare]

Love that you are not just slinging the most complicated and expensive Gucci hardware.

[@markbryce9074]

Yesssss these are what I have. LOVE them. The ONLY down side is that wireless charging doesn’t work with the metal plate. But, I attached my plate to the case and not the phone. Sticks stronger, and take the case off to wireless charge. Good video. Love your setup.

[@caseybronson2224]

This literally couldn't have come at a better time. Been looking for mounts all week. Thanks!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Nice! 👊🏼

[@bvan1970]

Nice video. I really wish I had more things to stick onto my 4Runner dash. I really enjoy these simple off the shelf solutions instead of some overbuilt, very expensive “Gotta Have It” options.

[@kathygallagher7378]

Love that you talked about visibility and safe driving first. Thanks for the great tips!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Of course!

[@mark12.31]

Great advice on mounting locations. So many people also mount them next to where their airbags would deploy in an accident, which would send things flying at blazing fast speeds and potentially injuring them when otherwise they wouldn't be hurt. Good advice for sure. Just ran across your channel because of this video; fellow Arkansan here!

[@davidgintz652]

Yay! I been waiting for a awesome new video from you. Thankyou I can't wait to watch this one. How are y'all all doing? Yall all take care and be safe.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Awesome glad to hear it! We're doing ok, I appreciate you asking!

[@Jabba6i]

Buddy you are so helpful.. i just didn't know whether magnet mounts would work but your customising gave me the confidence. Thanks for putting it out there ! God Bless !

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

The 'stache is gone! I love magnetic mounts and agree with you that they are a great all around option. You can also get some cheap ones that aren't so great, but these look fantastic. You're making me question my whole setup now, :D. Great video as always man!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Haha thanks Fletch! I’ve always loved how simple these are. Most of them suck, but these hold pretty well. Yes, the stache is no more! I feel like a part of me has died 😂

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@ArkansasOffroad I had magnetic mounts for a while, but then got some of those that wirelessly charge your device while you drive and I like those, but they're a pain to get the phone in and out of and they aren't the toughest. If Scosche would come out with magnetic ones that charge, then they'd have a real winner, :D.

[@shanemachado]

I couldn’t agree more. I have them in my truck, and in my wife’s Jeep. 👍🏼

[@ArkansasOffroad]

@@GetBusyLivin Nice! I used a Steelie in my Jeep for the CB microphone. Loved it.

[@Karma.seoul416]

Any issues with heat and adhesive? Tried it all including that gorilla double sided tape and nothing works in the Louisiana heat. Use a cheap vent style magnet for phone and have a ram mount for trail use.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

@@Karma.seoul416 Actually yes, but I've found that one of those windshield reflective heat shield things helps a ton. I just barely crack the windows and put that up and haven't had any issues. If it's super hot, I take the GMRS mic off and lay it in the cupholder just in case.

[@chrisduncan7198]

clever mount for the Midland hand held

[@DevonReclaimed]

I use the same mount in my GTi and I use the tip from a rubber glove in the ball socket to keep the swivel from moving. The gorilla tape should fix my issue from the Vegas heat killing my factory adhesive 🙏

Thanks for the vid. Never heard of this company so for such a lower price point in comparison it’s worth a shot. Got the 3 in 1 mount on its way.

[@josephosorio5718]

I agree 100%. I hate drilling and love the magnets. A problem I found is in mounting the magnets. The vinyl portion of the dash does not have a very good adhesion to its subsurface. The weight of the phone or tablet will start to separate the vinyl from its base. Mount the magnets onto something solid and there will be no problems. Great video.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Appreciate it! I haven't had any issues, but I can see how that could not stick very well.

[@dr.dreymisenheimer8499]

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Yessir!

[@andresh16]

Indeed the best mount brand, they actually have a version which is bigger and won’t require you to place the magnet on the back of your iPhone.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks! It’s the Midland MXT275. The gray handheld is a Midland GXT1000. My GMRS has been amazing. Would never go back to a CB. Love it and it’s crystal clear. The handheld was great for a while but I keep having issues with it draining a freshly charged battery. It comes and goes.

[@MrOneotherhawaiian]

Arkansas Offroad I just got the MXT400 but saw the one you use and would’ve went with that cause of the nice compact size, easier to hide.

I’m from the UK and live in Portugal only got a softroader. Looking at jk,s prices here crazy 2009 plates costing 28000 euros. One day perhaps. One question what bug spray do you use when you go off-road or don’t they bother you ?

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Wow that's expensive! I just use OFF bug spray

[@anthonyfreda6341]

Hey man your videos are awesome - thank you for posting this content! I was wondering what you used under the phone mount base to level it off since on the tacoma where you mount it over the vent to get the phone our far enough you need to stick it a bit forward and it leaves a space open under the mount in the rear of it. For your tablet it looks like you stuck something under it. THanks man !

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Hey thanks man! I actually just found a little piece of plastic that I cut to shape to fill the gap. That made it flush with the plastic bezel of the dash to where the mount stuck on both evenly.

[@adventurethrived7470]

I've tried using the scosche before and just not strong enough for my tablet but then again I do have a 10" tablet... Maybe that's the issue. I ended up using the expedition essential track mount and have ram magnets because they are bigger and cover more surface area. I'll be doing a walk around of my vehicle in the future and I'll show my set up. Great video... Keep it up!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Nice!! I wanna see it. I will say I had an older scosche mount and it wasn’t strong enough. The pro version I have are a bit newer.

[@hamudified7663]

Good way and clean!

[@craigbond7877]

Some great ideas. Been looking for a secure mount for my phone and hesitant about Ram X. These look exactly like what I've been searching for. P.S. love the patches and stickers.

[@TheNiuhuskies09]

Would that tape work in really hot Florida summers?

[@jmichaelmilton]

Great video. But I have a question about your 4X4. Are you more confident (reliability wise) after moving to a Toyota product? I am in the research phase and are considering Toyota vs Jeep. I like the Wrangler but at the price point I am limited to, I feel Toyota’s (4runners, GX470, LC etc.) are a more reliable choice. From what I’ve read, Jeeps in the $10k to $15k range are “worn out” and need expensive repairs to keep them running. Thanks.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Yes, definitely more confident moving to a Toyota. My Jeep was amazing, but it was becoming super unreliable on and off the trail. Id generally say the more stock the vehicle, the more reliable as far as buying used.

[@1992Hoffman]

I like that magnet set up!!!👍

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks!

[@muddyboots-mac]

nice setup. How did you stick the mount to the dashboard. My hilux dashboard cant stick well the double sided tape. After sometimes the mount fell off. The weather in brunei is hot all year round. Need your advice. thanks

[@ArkansasOffroad]

I had to use a different adhesive. I’ve found that the industrial grade 3M VHB is amazing. I heat it up with a heat gun to get the tape and surface warm and then apply.

[@muddyboots-mac]

thanks @@ArkansasOffroad

[@martinezrafael100]

Did you use the gorilla tape for the mount holding the phone? Did you also take off the old adhesive first?

[@ArkansasOffroad]

I did remove the old adhesive. And yes, I used gorilla tape. I tried lots of different kinds and that one worked pretty well. I did find a new one that was even better but forgot the name

[@darksideemt]

Glad I saw this as I'm looking for mounting options now for the Tacoma I just got. I just want 2, 1 for my phone and 1 for my Ipad. I have the 12.9 pro though so I'm wondering if it will hold that? Won't be doing off-road cause I don't have 4wd.

Have you had good luck off road? I tried running it off road and even my phone popped off if I hit any sort of rut BUT I still love these for lighter things.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Yes I have! Literally never popped my phone or tablet off. These are the Magic Mount Pros. Maybe yours was an earlier version? Plus running no case and having the magnet directly touch the other magnet is even stronger.

[@TimmyG2011]

[@ArkansasOffroad]

No prob! You totally can, I just didn't because I don't think it'd stick to the leather of my case very good.

[@matthewduffield4375]

[@RR-ty6ki]

Does the mount fall off sitting in the sun? I would think the sun would cause the tape to heat up and fail.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

I use a windshield sun blocker panel on my dash...hasn't fallen off for me.

[@mattr2]

I noticed for your tablet mount there’s what I think is the double sided gorilla tape to fill the gap. Is that how you did it? Just curious what you used to fill the gap

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Yeah exactly, good eye. Only half of the surface for the mount is able to fit on top of that trim piece on the dash, so I just stacked a few pieces of double sided tape to fill the gap so that everything was flush and has a full contact surface.

[@mattr2]

@@ArkansasOffroad thanks for the quick reply! I ordered one of those mounts and plan to do a similar placement

is your center dash metal? if so where did you get it?

[@stevescramo592]

Do the magnets for the tablet and / or phone come with the mount? Can you get extra magnets for the devices?

[@tedjordan7567]

Yes. The magnet actually sits inside the mount face. But the box should also include 3 different sized thin metal plates that you stick to the back of your phone or tablet. And yes I went on Amazon and bought more plates so I could attach them to additional devices. Very affordable.
