Jk laptop mount with toughbook

[dsy]

lots of off lease Toughbook laptops hitting the market now so I thought I would pick one up for topo map navigation in the Jeep. I think this is going to work much better than the larger Dell I was using. This thing has a sunlight readable touch screen, a backlit keyboard, is dust and water resistant and is ruggedized to take the beating off road. New laptop meant new stand so I got busy and made something to get it up and out of the way as much as possible. This stand is rock solid with no movement at all underway.
Local shop charged me $20. to powder coat it for me. The stand is made out of 3/8" steel rod bent and welded up.

Sweet mount...I need to do the same thing in my 100 series. Do you have any pics of the mount by its self???


Thanks

Here is the mount by itself. The two inner front seat bolts go through eyelets formed out of the 3/8 rod and you can see the two diagonal braces
attached to existing bolts in the side of the console. The pads on the laptop rest on the flat stock and the two little posts sticking up 1/4" are located so
they fit just right into recessed screw holes on the laptop that hold the handle on. They eliminate all side to side or front to back movement of the
laptop. A velcro wrap around the mount, and the handle keeps that end secured down good so it does not raise up, and at the back side of the laptop
are a couple rings that are designed to attach a strap to carry the pc over your shoulder. Those can be used to hold the laptop down as securely as
needed with bungees, tie wraps or even more velcro straps.

I've been racking my brains trying to figure out a sturdy and decent set up to mount my laptop.

Looking good.
