Rear View Cam and 7" Monitor - 9/20/2007 12:17:27 PM    Jigg Posts: 494 Joined: 12/1/2006 Status: offline It's pretty tough to see out of the back glass with the 33" MT back there, so i decided to put in a rear view camera and a monitor.  It's extremely helpful when parallel parking, and just seeing back there in general... espescially at night.

I'll probably end up mounting it on the tire carrier somewhere, or into the tailgate.  I have another winch that i'm going to mount in the rear, so there might not be room for that.

Might have to get something like that myself when i get my spare mounted. Its bad enough with that 31" tire back there, the 33" is gonna suck, LOL. What im hoping to do though is to get something based off RGB monitor input so i can get a car pc hooked up to later and get a video switch......ill hit that bridge when i get there though. _____________________________ -Rob "what fell off of where!?!?!"

RE: Rear View Cam and 7" Monitor - 10/10/2007 1:12:57 AM    drperry Posts: 3896 Joined: 1/12/2007 From: GP AB CA Status: offline I need to do something like that with mine... Only, I want to get a really HQ screen so I can play movies and such on it as well... put it where my stereo is, and mount the stereo where the ashtray would normally go if I had one... Does the camera have any other way of mounting it? My spare tire wrench hole is filled by my trailer plug, lol... _____________________________ (in reply to RCars2) Post #: 17

RE: Rear View Cam and 7" Monitor - 10/10/2007 10:48:11 AM    Jigg Posts: 494 Joined: 12/1/2006 Status: offline Ebay Links   Camera Screen Guess it was a bit more than $110... closer to $150. The camera can be mounted wherever you want, you just have to either build a mount, or drill a hole for it.  It just so happened that the hole for the spare tire (which isn't used on a 2dr) was the exact size i needed for the camera. You could easily hook a computer up to this, you just need the adapter (or a video card that has it) to go to RCA or S-Video < Message edited by Jigg -- 10/10/2007 10:51:30 AM > (in reply to drperry) Post #: 18

I don't want to have to remove it every time I wash the truck or go 4 diggin' _____________________________ (in reply to Jigg) Post #: 19

RE: Rear View Cam and 7" Monitor - 10/10/2007 5:09:41 PM    Jigg Posts: 494 Joined: 12/1/2006 Status: offline Yeah, that's just a trim piece for a headrest install. It's supposed to be "water resistant", and it hasn't fogged up or anything yet... so i'm fairly optimistic. (in reply to drperry) Post #: 20
