If you spend any real time behind the wheel on dirt, you learn fast that a good mount setup is not a luxury. It is the difference between a smooth day and a glovebox full of rattling junk. That is why Lee’s pick this month is 67 Designs. He runs their system in his own rig and has installed a bunch of them for customers who live on maps and comms as much as the throttle pedal.
What Lee likes most is how clean and solid the system is. Phones, tablets, GPS units, radios, even a small camera if you want it. Everything has a home, everything stays put, and it all sits where your eyes naturally fall. No wobble, no sag, no improvising with suction cups. You set it once, and it just works, even when the washboards turn ugly or you are crawling something off-camber.
The other win is how configurable these systems are. Start simple with a single phone mount, then add a tablet arm for navigation when you are running Gaia or onX. Add a mic hanger for your handheld. If your layout changes later, you can swap arms and ends without redoing the whole dash. It is modular in the right ways, and the parts feel premium in your hands. Tight tolerances, smooth movement, and hardware that does not strip when you look at it wrong.
Install is straightforward. Most popular platforms have proven mounting points, and there are options to keep things tidy without drilling visible holes. We have dialed in clean installs on JK, JL, and JT dashboards, 4Runner and Tacoma consoles, Broncos, and a few vintage builds with custom touchpoints. The result looks like it belongs in the vehicle, not like an add-on.
Why it matters on the trail is simple. When your map, comms, and phone are where they should be, you make better decisions and you are less distracted. You can spot for a friend with one hand on the radio, glance at the line on the tablet, and keep rolling without fishing for a device that slid into a cupholder. That is safer, and it is a lot less annoying.
These 67 Designs Mounting Systems are available at our shop, and as always, we are happy to answer any questions you might have about them as well.
