Not that a jotto desk or other set ups aren't cool but I didn't see myself dishin out 300+ dollors for one. So this is what I came up with...
One LCD TV wall mount $20
One rack plate cut in half Free
One strip of sticky Velcro (borrowed from GF)
One Velcro strap from a yard sale $.50
Some self tappers
This is what I got...





Take center nut off and fold arm out of the way.

Going to add a side bar to hold it steady.
Ran it for 150 miles this weekend which included some rough dirt roads, it wobbled, but it's not like you are reading it when your 4R is going sideways on the washboards.

 

no pics....


*edit* nevermind.. just takes forever to load... looks good...

 

Are there supposed to be pics accompanying this post? Linky no worky...

edit: never mind

 

could never understand why anyone would need a laptop in their 4runner hooked up...

but, now I see ... gps would be cool. But, damn, just get a little gps thinggie

Looks great though!

 

Looks like a pretty sweet setup...how is the stabilty on it? I use one I made out of a fiberglass top, aluminum angle, and pvc pipe. It works for the 10 days out of the year that we use it. I use the existing seat bolts. I am just looking for something that has just a little less wobble to it.

I too refuse to pay $300 for a Jotto that I only use on our annual vacation.

 

I have little GPS thingy too, but it's not vision friendly when driving, plus the software i have for the laptop has some kewl features.

Why? I'm just useing it so I don't have to ask directions.

It does sway about 1/4 inch each way to the left and right when running thru the bumps but my passenger usually puts her leg against it to steady it. I going to make a small cross brace for it to see if that helps. I only use mine a few times a year when we are heading off to the unknown, and I rather send 300 bucks else where.
