So I picked up my Jeep a few months ago... I had an Escalade before... which is a very nice 400hp couch on wheels, but as we know not nearly as fun as a Jeep. So the Caddy is gone and fun is in! The Jeep is a 2007 Rubicon Unlimited.

Lots of custom wiring and molding... I love to design and build stuff. I'm a telecommunications network cabling infrastructure engineer/electrician/car audio designer/customizer.../macgyver... lol I'm a big fan of do it right the first time or don't touch it. :thumb:
So after I picked up the Jeep the first thing I needed to do is find a place to mount my iPhone. I use my phone for everything... Personal, work, GPS, maps/topo, etc. I have a magnet mount in all my other cars... but the Jeep needs a more secure mount; so when we're out in the woods it can't fall off.
This is what I came up with... the design might change as time goes on but for now this is it:
I made my own bracket out of aluminum and use a Rokform case and mount. Works perfect... Only took about 2 hours to make.
I made the bracket out of scrap aluminum I had (cut and shaped the aluminum with a Dremel). Once I had the basic shape I bent it to match the contour of the dash. I painted and textured it to match the dash. I picked up the allen bolts and washers at the hardware store for $4 bucks.
Once it was ready I mounted the Rokform mount to the bracket. Then I riveted the bracket to the dash. The Jeep could roll over and its not coming off
This is the case I use.
