Same. Happened with my ’18 TRD OR. I got my 21 last week, and have been trying to get it Coloradoized with the quickness. I feel that the front cam is one of those useful features that help modernize the Gen 5.



Since I have the dash opened up from the my Headunit/Speaker install + it allows the aux input to be used an an additional cam input I decided adding the front camera was kinda a no-brainer. My biggest requirements were high quality picture/Super Low profile/ built for Colorado conditions/not crazy expensive. Got this off amazon for less than 40. And it seemed pretty well reviewed.

Here’s where I am planning to locate cam:




I will document the install + camera setup/review as well, as it may help with your decision.

While my NEX 4500 headunit has the built in inputs, during my research for cameras I noticed several solutions for adding a front to the existing OEM system as well. So I'm thinking whatever results I get should be replicated with those systems as well.

I got the same tag. Don’t really need a backpack, but maybe I’ll find a use for it one day.

Nice work, you should look for a clear coat ASAP for those lights you just polished or it'll go to waste. I don't believe any wax or any sealant is strong enough to protect them. There are a lot of waxes and sealants which claim to have UV protection but they are very weak or non existent. You specifically should be looking for a clear coat.

Did the center console wiring/panel for media connections/power outlets/Mag safe dock.



Mapped out the panel area so I have template file available + console removal instructions if anyone needs.

i was planning to mount it to my vaporware shrockworks bumper thats been on order for 7 months now...ROFL.

Since, I don't have my bumper yet, i use a 10lb tank that i strap down on the roof rack in a milk crate. it seems to work well

Lol, I know how that is. Lead times have been brutal. 6mo for my SSO roof rack, 7mo for my c4 rock sliders and nearly 8mo for dobinsons lift.

Good idea with the milk crate, I may do that.
