I have an 04 4RNR, and have been trying different options. Just changed from Ram Mounts suction cup at the center of the windshield, to a ball stud on the A puller grab rail. Just curious to see what everyone else has done.

In thecopcar I built an amm9 can console, so drilling holes for stuff is not really an issue. The DPS also removed the overhead console to mount the light controller, so I repurposed that the put a radio faceplate mount.

@HoffmanMark how are you liking it up there so far? I've gathered parts to do the exact same thing in my 4runner except putting the Baufeng handheld radio there.

I am not in a 4Runner, but use 67 Designs mounting in my Jeep and am very happy with it.

I use Lido mounts in my 04 4Runner and 89 Bronco. Sorry, no pictures as my ex took the 4Runner with her.

That's where mine is in my Cruiser.

So far the Ram Tab-Tite holder is the only one that can seem to keep my tablet (10" samsung in a protective case) reasonably secure. when using the X arm style and the ones from 67 Design and Bullet Point the tablet slowly walks sideways on washboard roads. also no matter how much the mounting arms are tightened the end clamps will rotate on the arm with the weight of the tablet. The only issue with the Tab-tite from ram is it is a universal holder so it is a bit oversize and clunky, but does its job.

The A-pillar ball stud mount is the best option. It's more stable than suction cups, doesn't obstruct your view, and won't damage the windshield. Most 4Runner owners prefer this setup.
