OFFROAM Phone Mount

[theGnat]

Thanks for the info, I am going to look at it. I may add a second OFFROAM for my wife’s phone for trips. I currently have it mounted on the driver side, I may move it to the passenger side like yours.

You are very welcome.

I initially mounted the OFFROAM on the driver side as you currently have but then I immediately didn't like that placement because 1) it obstructed the infotainment screen (a lot more than when mounted on the passenger side), 2) it limited/restricted/blocked air flow towards the driver via the center driver side air vent (I like that AC blowing in my face on hot hot days), and 3) I frequently bumped my phone whenever I reached for controls, etc., on that side of the steering wheel.

Where I have it mounted on the passenger side, I've not had any issues with what I have noted and my phone is still easily within reach.

As for a second OFFROAM for my wife, I simply (and kindly) let her know that she really doesn't need a phone mount because she's not driving and there's plenty of little cubbies, etc., to stash her phone on that side of the cabin as a passenger.

Oh, and did I mention regaining the use of the cupholder as a cupholder!!

Hahaha cup holder is HUGE! When I got my truck, they gave me a yeti cup (with the dealer logo on it) I use that in one of the cup holder slots for tissues or gum wrapped in tissue or other small trash. I take it out if she is going with me.

It never dawned on me how significant it was having both cupholders available as cupholders, especially on long(ish) road trips with a passenger.

In fact, on our most recent road trip, I bought a 40oz Yeti cup that fit in the center console cupholders during a pit stop at a Buc-ees that was on our route. Totally an impulse purchase. However, little did I know how much of a game changer that purchase was going to be! 40oz goes a long way! Gone are those times when my wife is content with watching the back of her eyelids while in that reclined passenger seat and I can't get her to wake up to refill my bone dry, empty 24oz travel mug!!

That is cool. I must have this. I'm not sure what for just yet, but I 'need' it.
