Does anyone have any photos of their dash accessories mounted or ideas?

I went with the smaller Archetype Racing AR-Tap. I don’t have a bunch of stuff, gopro and phone, so the smaller size works good for me.

the AR stuff is pricey, but the style, design, and fit is first class. May add the longer Bam rails at some point, the Tap and Bam are modular so you can mix and match.

I also really like the Rail Dog picatinny mounts. Amazon. There see a few other mounts in there in order to accommodate my iPhone and 2 go pros.

I thought having this stuff would bother me from a visibility standpoint, but after a few days driving with it it disappears. the GoPro mount pivots down horizontally when not in use.

Now I need to figure a good way to get power to the dash. …

As for power, do you have a circular plug in the center of your dash in close proximity to the windshield? if so, there are two ports under the cover.

67 Designs is making a BroncoRail that appears to have multiple locations for a variety of devices. Not sure when they will be available but the rail looks like it might be a decent option.

No, I didn’t upgrade for the $2500 USB port and garage door opener. :(

One more dumb question, where do you get the pieces that attach to it (preferable the smooth)?

There is a choice of rail type, and took one of each.

I mean, who makes the attachments for the smooth rail system?

I know there are attchements for the picatinny rail...I'm talking about the SMOOTH rail. How do things attach to THAT? Is it a system that accepts this?
