VETCOMMS Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Im curious if others have ideas on how to make a portable radio stand/holder for a small mobile that I can easily take the radio between a half ton pickup and a small SUV. Anything out there that fits this need already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveShannon Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I think it was @MichaelLAX who has a post on using a 3 inch test plug with the radio bolted to it. He just sets it in his cup holder. Correction: it was @Newb VETCOMMS and MichaelLAX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLAX Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 There is a thread on here somewhere that uses an inexpensive hardware device to create a cup-mount holder. Do both of your vehicles have cup holders? VETCOMMS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLAX Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Here it is! @Newb's inventive idea! SteveShannon and VETCOMMS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VETCOMMS Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I learned about a website called lidoradio.com that might be helpful to some wanting additional mounting options. I'll take a look at the cupholder holder as well. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLAX Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Well, if you want to spend that kind of money, this is my original cupholder mount for Anytone from Amazon, that got stolen with my Anytone AT-779UV (Anytone 778 shown in pic), when I left it in the garage: Oh: It's a LIDO!

WRVD377 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I have the one above and my MXT500 is a bit much for it in a New Tundra cup holder. In my truck it needs 4 screw out tighteners instead of three, but it is holding up. Duck218 and VETCOMMS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartsMan Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I have used A big square of velcro. VETCOMMS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokones Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I fabricated this setup for my 21 Silverado Diesel Dually. I hang it on the lip of the passenger side of the center console, close the lid, and angle the radio towards me. I hang a towel over the lip so the bracket won't scratch the console.

hunter04 Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I know Ram Mounts have many mounting options to include the cupholder idea. Check them out for yourself: https://rammount.com/ Hope this helps! VETCOMMS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
