A little custom SPOD mounting
A little custom SPOD mounting
So I wanted a good switch setup for my lights, I didn’t like my setup I had on my last truck (rocker switches above the ebrake to a busman fuse box)
I felt like I had to reach too far and couldn’t see what I was pressing.
So I chose spod for this truck, but I didn’t like the idea of using the above the radio mount or the section cup. I wanted to have it on my a-pillar but there was no mounting option for that..so I designed my own.
The ram mount balls have a 1/4-20 thread and the a-pillar screws have a 6mm thread so that was a problem. I managed to find an adapter. 6mm make to 1/4-20 female.
I ordered some 1/4-20 3” rods for testing. I ended up cutting just over an inch off of it for this fitting.
I drilled a hole in the underside of the a pillar mount to feed the wire and drilled another 2 holes in the a pillar cap to feed the mount and wire through it.
The screen is in a great spot, I can just reach up and press it. It doesn’t get in the way of me steering or when I use the grab handle.

Re: A little custom SPOD mounting
Ram makes a ton of mounts and doesn't do a good job organizing them. I poured through their parts building a mount for my truck. Also, someone put up a similar system in review on Amazon for a Tacoma.kgries wrote: ↑Sat Sep 15, 2018 10:03 pmReloaderguy wrote:Ram 1" M6 female ball: https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-273-M6U

Re: A little custom SPOD mounting
It looks great and is very clean. Can you post some pictures of the rest of the SPOD install and the accessories you have attached to it?kgries wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 2:02 pmOh well I got it done at it looks good!

Glad I saw this thread. I've been trying to figure out where I want to mount my switchpros setup and this looks about perfect for me. Very clean!
