You're asking a very biased crew here, I think no less than 300 people on this forum ordered from @EIGHTLUG AR. His rail is a work of art. Not only super functional, but a testament to how enthusiasts feel about this Truck and what they put in it. Did I mention being biased? Not cheap, but a great investment.

Amen.
I love mine.
After install I kept looking at it, happy with it and at the same time thinking "Why TF did you spend that much on something hold a dang phone?"
Not cheap. But at the same time, very well engineered, well built, and worth it, comparatively.
The older I get the more I subscribe to the "Buy once cry once" mentality.

We are on the same page (maybe close in age too ). It is definitely a piece of jewelry for the dashboard, but it's my jewelry, bought and paid for.

thank you sooo much! and what is the difference in the picatinny vs the other?

i want the full length bar, (2) of the balls and (2) extension arms....if you dont mind me asking, what was the whole set up?

anything Im missing?

Why not just do both? I got the AR rail, and then found some of the mounting hardware from 67d. coupled that with a wireless magnetic charging pad from Mous and it's a nice little setup.

 

[Raptor911]

doesn't the 67d requires you to drill your dash?

There's better options out there than what I use.
I simply repurposed what I had in my TJ.
It's a RAM Ball mounted to a picatinny adapter from Amazon.
From there I have a "too heavy" arm made out of some cast metal also from Amazon.
Ram-X phone holder with the ball mount on it. The Ram-x holder is the best part of the entire setup.
Everything else is cheaper, bulkier than the 67 designs stuff I've seen. My phone does shake going down the road, so it's a tad annoying.
But for now I'm gonna roll with it because it's paid for.
Later on I am going to replace the cheap heavy crap with something better (refer to the buy once cry once mentality).
It's the main reason I didn't mind the $ for the rail. I tried cheaper stuff on the TJ and it was definitely less than expected and pretty much only served the purpose to hold the phone out of my lap or cup holder.

Long story short: I'd do some research into the AR rail thread at what others did and follow their lead. My path is one of wasted money buying something that suffices only to purchase the more expensive one I should have bought the first time.

I have the 67D rail and absolutely love it. Definitely not as appealing as the AR setup from an appearance standpoint but functionally it works great. I use it to mount my phone and a GoPro when I'm off-roading and get absolutely no shake/movement.

The being said, technically you are supposed to "drill" into the plastic, I used some double sided 3M tape and that works great if you're not comfortable drilling

@ALVA DUDE
Before you decide, you may want to take some advice from @Biltwild and get the Black finish on the AR BAM BYOD as the Silver or Bronze colors give a LOT of reflection in the front window.

I have the BroncoRail from 67Designs. I prefer the understated look over everything else out there. I’m also gonna be using 3M tape instead of screwing down the sides

Speaking for myself I'm waiting to see what Bulletpoint comes up with. I have their Rubigrid in my Gladiator and love it. They have mounts coming soon for the Bronco.
