Lamonster RTW Project- Ram Mount Cup Holder

[Lamonster]

Seems this is something a lot of folks have been looking for and it's fairly cheap and easy to do. I'll give you a parts list and you can do this mod too. :doorag:

First off you need to order some parts. This is where I got mine, the price was right and I received them in a timely manner.

I used this ball mount to mount to the air wing.

I tapped the ball with a M6 tap so I could use the stock torx bolt but the ball has a hole through the center so you could just run a 1/4" bolt through it. You will need to line up the flange of the ball mount to the top of the air wing. Then you want to make your hole so you can drill your hole. You can do this without taking anything off, just make sure you hold the wing when you're drilling it so it won't bend too much.

Mark your hole for drilling

Tap if you like

I used the short arm and this cup holder.

When you put the arm on it will rest on the dash and that takes any weight off of the air wing. So far it's working out great for me and if you do the other side with the ball mount it makes a great camera mount. :doorag:

For what it is worth, I also ordered one from GPS. Ordered one with suction mount. Placed it on left side panel, have put at least a thousand miles with no problem, I did put a laniard on it just in case. No drilling of such, and if I don't like placement, can move it around untill get it just right.

RAM Mounts

Lamonster, Thanks for the tips. I installed my RAM Mounts today and thanks to your tips it was a breeze. The tip of bending a 10mm wrench was helpful. I did have to drill out the center of the mount, but with a drill press it was no problem. I have watched most of your videos and they gave me the confidence to attack some of the mods I had been wanting. I also installed some Seal FloorBoards and they were a piece of cake also. Now just waiting for my Corbin Seat and I should be set.

Thanks again, you ROCK!

Cup holder

I have the new ST Limited 2013 and I am wanting to put a ram mount cup holder but not sure how and where to mount. What would you suggest I could use and where. Thanks.
