Mounting a GPS Overhead

[Cetrov]

I made this one - worked very well- screws into the windshield frame at the top.

I have a custom roll cage and I mounted my mine to the horizontal bar that runs on top of the dash. The mount is very secure but there is a significant amount of vibration transmitted through the bar. Not a prob off road but a little annoying on the street.

Try to mock up the installation first to see if this is a prob for you.

Ah, good point. Maybe I can have Rick weld me in a bar like yours. It might be easier to see it there, than hanging from above. Which mount did you choose?

Nice avatar! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!! It's bananas!

Has anyone attempted to mount their GPS to the rollbar?

Has anyone attempted to mount their GPS to the rollbar? The only problem is it would have to hang upside down, which I think defies most setups. Rick and I are looking at going the marine route, so we can permantently mount it. I found this RAM Mount but am not sure if it can do the job well. I emailed them and of course the email bounced.
