Followed step by step and it worked out perfect! Funny tho there must have been a change. I only have 7 screws for the base and not 9. They must have uncovered that issue early in the process and made the change.
Great vid. I also have an F-150 Tremor. My mount arrived today. Thanks for running ne thru the install. PS: I live in Mexico where on road qualifies for off road anywhere else. I am going to go ahead, bite the bullet and put in the four other reinforcing screws.
First of all, this an amazing step by step video that has been very helpful for me to decide on a product. This comment is directed at the product design. I had a Bulletpoint mount in my Gen-12 F150 which utilized a combination of existing screw holes in the dash and double sided tape. Worked great. I am on the fence about buying one for my Gen-14. It’s really unfortunate to have to drill 9+ holes in the dash of your $60k+ truck to make this thing work, and looked like there were about 4 more holes he chose not to drill. He even laughs uncomfortably at the beginning in the same breath he says “drill some holes”. Even more so, its supposed to fit “perfectly” in the scoop of the dash, but then the mounting screws interfere with the clips on the panel. You can only pull those clips out so many times until your dash just rattles indefinitely. Do you think I could opt for double sided automotive tape to avoid the holes in the dash? Otherwise, you may have just convinced me to look for a different option. Again, thanks for the informative video.
I’m glad you found the video helpful. I can say that I was reluctant to drill the holes, but all of the major mounts (from all of the competing mounts) required it as well. I have been using it for a while and it is great - solid like it came with the truck. Your question about automotive tape “might” work, but it depends on what you will be using on the platform. If you plan on using any arms, I would not recommend the tape, just because of the bumps and weight over time. Thank you for watching!
Does your truck have the cameras built in that watch the drive? Does this keep your phone out of the way of those so the truck doesn't keep warning you?
