FS - RAM vehicle mount and/or TB CF 18

[opie]

This fits a Chevy Colorado, but the only vehicle specific piece is the base. The tough tray, arms and pedestal are all universal. I bought a second set of arms with a different bend in them so they would "nest" over one another. I needed this due to limited space in my truck. Both sets will be included.

You could take the spare ball mount and bolt that to something to mount the tough tray to. Or bolt the pedestal down to a floor pan or trans tunnel.

I also added some felt and whatnot to the tray itself to take up the slop between the two pieces.

Asking $135 + the ride. Paypal or cash on delivery shipped via FedEx from 48912.

Not pictured, but included are the lower half of the pedestal and the base itself.

Next up is a Panasonic Toughbook CF 18. Model # 18FHAZBBM, 1.24 gigs of ram, 1.1 ghz processor. Tablet with touchscreen and stylus. There is 1 dead pixel on the screen, but its not always dead and you have to look for it when it is. Otherwise the TB is in excellent condition. I added an 80 gig Hitachi 5k500 HD and will come loaded with XP and Delorme Street Atlas and Topo 8.0 along with an LT40 antenna. I also have a recovery disk for the OS as well. No disks for the delorme software. Also included will be the AC charger. Battery lasts right around 2.5 hours. Wifi works as does the touch pad. Everything works and all covers are present an in good condition.

Asking $400 + the ride shipped from 48912 via FedEx. PayPal or cash on delivery.

Ill do a package price of $500 + the ride for everything.

Ok... so I am interested. How old is the Toughbook? Sorry that I not PC savvy as I come from Apple products.. so I don't know much about this stuff. I do however want a PC such as this for my truck.

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the Toughbook and the RAM mount?

Do you have any photos of the mount installed?

Zonker, the picture in the post above yours is mounted in my truck. Height is adjustable but I dont remember from what to what. I kept it all the way down and it was the perfect height for viewing and typing. If you would like a different angle, let me know and Ill get it.

The TB is probably 6 or 7 years old. I bought it used from someone that buys them and reconditions them. They really are tough. On the UP trip a few weeks ago, and many other excursions, it has never skipped a beat. The mount has never let it move and it just keeps working. The HD I bought new, but it is a PATA interface, not SATA. Still not difficult to find, but the Hitachi HD's are also designed to take a beating. The HD is also mounted in a caddy with even more cushioning.

Having the Wifi is a nice touch as well.... And its very quick for what it is. As long as you have a good signal, its just as fast as my home connection, which is 1.5mb DSL.

Let me know if you have any more questions. This coupled with the Delorme software and antenna is a sweet combo. I usually run it off a 400 watt inverter so Im not draining and charging the battery. So the battery hasnt had that many discharge/charge cycles since Ive had it. The ones it has had have been from full to less than 10% and then charge.
