Rugged Ridge 13551.19 Dash Multi-Mount, Phone Holder; 97-06 Jeep Wrangler Tj/Lj, Black

Really good option for a phone holder on the Jeep. Takes minutes to install. Really easy. A few pieces of 3M tape, and three self tapping screws. Very Solid unit.

I've gone through 4 different mounting systems for cell phones on my '97 Wrangler. I found that there are two differences in Wranglers, the straight angle of the windshield, and the rougher ride that make using normal cell phone mounts painful. I used a CD slot mounted holder for a while, but it would get jarred out of the slot. The console of the TJ doesn't offer a lot of alternatives.This mount installed easily, though I had to take off the mirror to get the required force to drive in the self tapping screws. It holds my Nexus 5x quite adequately either horizontally or vertically. The screen is easily readable, and within comfortable arm's length. The spring that holds the cell phone takes a little getting used to, but I will gladly tiake that for the stability with which it holds my Nexus 5x.The tray is functional; I never used the original tray, but have found this tray useful for loose change, a lighter, receipts, etc.For my money, it is the best cell phone mount for use in a Jeep TJ Wrangler.

holds my back road gps and rifle shells, works great

SO I was very reluctant to put holes in my Jeep...then I looked around my Jeep and determined it wasn't exactly in the most pristine condition and it was more important that it be usable for me than not have 3 hidden holes in the dash. Two way tape won't hold anything in place so I didn't even use the ones it came with. It doesn't fit PERFECTLY on the dash but when you screw it in, the small gaps on the sides are not noticeable. I needed something effective to hold my phone and this works perfectly.

So I installed the holder with phone holder in a 04 Jeep TJ. The install was super easy and the tray itself is nice. The phone holder however is another story. I went to install it on the ball and found the locking ring was SUPER TIGHT. I mean ridiculously tight. I had to really push it to get it to start on the threads and with a couple turns once it was started it split. It was only a couple turns when it snapped and you can see the gap in the attached pictures. I've used many holders similar to this and do not believe it was an error on my part. There is just no way that was the proper size ring.As for the phone holder it would probably be fine for a thin phone but my Samsung S8+ has a battery case on it so it's thicker than most. Because of this it doesn't hold well at all in the holder.I do like the ability to add accessories to the holder and have put a clip on the phone holder screw. I can now easily clip my action cam in place when wanted and then unclip it when I'm not using it to clean up my dash.Update-3/5/20 I reached out to their warranty department and filled out the form. The next day I got an email asking for my receipt. I sent screenshots and the next day they had a new phone holder on the way. I got it today and the ring on this one is correct. It screwed on easily like it should. I plan on using this to hold my Samsung S5 that I'm using as a remote for my action cam. It will do this well and puts it in a good location.I raised a star because of their customer service. I'm very happy with it and now have a second phone holder as they sent the entire holder instead of just the ring.
