    Post your front mount cameras! Come on wipe em out. Curious where / how people have mounted theirs.

    Looks like I don't really have many options and this bull bar might be a bit in the way to view trails. Terrible idea. Don't know which one of you had me get this but where you mounting those cameras?

    You got that drilled or adhesive?

    At the bottom of the bumper :facepalm::frustrated:

    My thought process,
    1) if I'm hitting the camera I turn back. Go home or pick the alternate path if available.
    2) due to lack of detail on screen, when its much closer I think I get little bit better detail.

    I have sticked 2 thin white tapes on the screen to show my tire path also.

    Will you guys post a screen shot of what your view looks like? I've had one for probably 9 months waiting to install.

    I'm also interested in how any relocation affects the MTM views, especially the bird's eye view and the view that comes up in 4Lo with the projected tire locations.

    The camera is a Natika. It is $39.99 on Amazon.

    It was paired with a FRAC Harness that allowed for a plug and play hookup to my head unit…

    I wanted to put it under the grill crossbar like a lot of others but my bull bar is in the way so I stuck it on the nose like a booger

    I've had one in a package for a few months, but planning on putting it where BobbyB has it... Just got PPF installed on the front end. I'm waiting to install all my "electronics" once I get the rest of my stereo stuff

    This is the view I have from my cheap Amazon wireless camera thing.

    The thin white lines I stick on are my real tire path, not the grid line shown on screen. I only use the grid line to know how close I am.

    That would drive me nuts, but it looks like you've figured out what you need to make it work.
