So I’m thinking about getting a cell phone mount for the JK. Any recommendations out there? I need one that can handle off-roading hardcore like me. 

Um...what?

What speed are you taking the speed bumps at the mall at and what is your tire pressure?confused

After Fordyce all I can say is what not buy.  Windshield suction mount and Air vent mount didn't work.  My Windshield mounted monitor popped off 15 minutes in and Air vent cell phone mount made it 30 minutes.

Do you have photographic evidence that you were on the Fordyce run. If so, I will lay off.

Look at Ram mounts, as well as the vector accessory mount system.

I bought the Rugged Ridge one and was not happy with it, however I removed the universal mount, put a RAM ball on it and a RAM X-Wing accessory mount and it works very well. However at this point I just built a less elegant version of the 67 Designs one so unless you already have the Rugged Ridge one, I would go 67 Designs.

If anyone has the Rugged Ridge one, happy to show you how to improve it with the RAM stuff.

If you're following Brad on the Rubicon, drill a hole in your phone & bolt it down, no other phone holder will work, even on your belt.

Greg, my theory is if I keep riding you we will get you out on the trail more often. That said, I know how much my priorities changed after my first born! Personally, I would really love to get Scott to organize another Nevada overland trip like the one I went on with the club.

Super solid mount by 67 designs. It’s secured down with two screws and 3M. They make JK stuff too. Never had my phone fly out! You can rotate the phone holding part as well if you are looking at maps or something.

You could get the vector off road bar and mount multiple arms off that too.

Just being curious but do you guys have your phones on the dash to use as a GPS or to use as a video camera?

Just asking cause I personally just leave my phone in my pocket so it's safe and no matter what happens I know where it is

I totally get leaving it in your pocket, that's where mine has been for the last 16 years. But I want to be able to use it for music and for the gaia mapping app.

Um...what?

Both plus music control.  The GPS apps in the phones are way better than the built in stuff now days. Can have google on the phone on the street and then switch to avenza/gaia/other offroad specific app when we hit the trail.  The placement of the mount makes it easy to do a time-lapse on part of the drive if you want to film.  And on trails where the tree cover is too thick for the XM to handle, the phone becomes the source.

When not on the trail, the phone mount is useful for me so i remember to plug in the charger.  Too many times I will get somewhere and pull my phone out to find a 10% battery warning which is frustrating when you are stuck in a waiting room.

Proclip is the best that I have found.  My phone has never fallen out or came loose.

Here is the version for an iphone 8
