I've seen several threads where people are trying to mount their iPad or other tablet in their JK. There were a lot of ingenious solutions, but some of them seemed a bit rickety. I found a cheap, solid solution and I'm going to share it here:
RAM provide a rail mount that is designed for rails that have a 90 degree angle on them. It fits perfectly on the JK's grab rail. The model is RAM-B-108BU. It comes with a couple of different hose clamps, the longer of which is 8" and is long enough to go around the grab rail. This mount costs around $20. It looks like this:
To avoid damage to the grab rail, I cut the end from a couple of tube socks and wrapped them around the grab rail before clamping the mount on. Here's what the mount looks like when attached to the rail:
Once the mount is installed you can use a short RAM mount arm and the tablet mount of your choice. The mount is solid and put the iPad in a place where it is easily reached but not in the way of any other controls or vents. Here's what the finished product looks like:
Hopefully that saves someone some time and effort.
