I'm planning to hang a trasharoo or similar bag on my tire, which would obstruct the camera in that location.
made a custom bracket with some home depot steel and a drill press & 2 cycle engine oil. it also puts the camera in damn near the stock location.

Bought another company's license plate mount, but could have made my own.

I also flipped the bolts and used weld nuts so it would not rub in the gas can. my switch them out for rivet nuts.

I've been wanting to move my spare from underneath to out back.
I've been thinking of moving the camera from the stock location, straight up, to the spoiler right beside the wiper. Not sure what that would entail as I've never peeked inside there.
On the other hand. I really don't need the camera. For 35 years I've driven a 68 F100 with a camper, so I haven't had even a useable inside mirror. Also, I drive an 18-wheeler, so I do pretty good with just outside mirrors.
I personally have more use for a front facing camera when offroading.
Has anyone else looked into moving the camera to the spoiler? I guess it's a matter of what you want to see. If you want to see your rear bumper clearance (straight down) it might not be as good. If you want to see people or cars coming by as you back out of a parking spot, then it would be fine.

I figure with rivnuts and a good drill, I can mount the plate almost anywhere I need to. Still haven't decided if I'm going to get a driver side swing-out or just stick with the pass side only for the tire, since I'mnot sure if overlanding is in my near future and most trail runs can be done without much need for extra gas if you don't head out low (nice thing about the modular design, I can add on if I need it). Suppose I can always wire in an after-market camera instead of the factory unit if I have to, since the runner I'm buying has it displaying on an aftermarket HU screen anyway. I do need to find out if the HU can run 2 cameras since a spotting camera up front is a good idea for crawling in a vehicle I'm not yet used to.

This works with the factory HU and if the aftermarket has the same input it should work also:

Fit 285/70/17 under back with this bumper

I currently have my spare 285/70/17 MT under the back of my 4runner and rather like the set up for now. I am thinking I want to run this bumper with no swing outs and still keep that spare under the back. Anyone have any idea how this bumper impacts room for a spare tire underneath? Pictures of underneath with our without a spare underneath would be helpful.

The spare will still fit in its factory location. You will probably have a little more tire visible from the rear because the Victory bumper is cut higher. I don't have pictures at the moment but could get some later today when I get home from work. The will just be open space pictures, though, as I removed all of my spare tire mounting system.

Thanks for the input. That would be awesome if you could get me the picture. Should still be enough to compare with under mine to confirm the fit.

The bumper doesn't change the amount of room you have for the spare. You will still be able to fit your 285/70/17 underneath

Awesome! Thanks for the response! Has it ever been confirmed that the bumper works with a gobi ladder?

The bumper won't interfere, but a left carrier would.

Interesting Brandon,

My powder coating chipped off in the same exact location as yours (left of the drop hitch).

Mine chips very easily and always rusts underneath which is what the zinc pre-coat should fix but doesn't. Eventually I'll get it powder coated locally. My local powder coater has zinc metalized then 2 stage powder coated matte black a front bumper and several small home made brackets and it won't rust....unless you drill a hole and then it only rusts inside the drilled hole.
