    How durable is the material if you whack the antenna on a tree branch or something?

    Nice! I am going to opt for a KC with NMO then. That way I can move my 2M antenna to the roof without punching a 3rd hole

    Do any of the 2nd GEN (also for us 3rd GEN access cab operators) have the potential for a bed light? I’m sorry if I missed this in another post.

    Multiple options. My plan is to install red lights on the outside for a 3rd brake, and white lights in the middle for bed lights. Or the other way around, not 100% sure yet.

    How about something like this? https://jollybuyers.com/products/10-full-touch-screen-stream-media-dual-lens-mirror-dash-cam for the rear view camera. I know its not much to go off of but just by looking at it would this work?

    I think the best bet would be this camera. This a marine company and ive used a few of there waterproof speakers so I would take my chances on their camera and its pretty cheap
    DM me were to ship one

    It's difficult for me to find one like that that I think will work with kits and stuff. I'm not super knowledgable as far as these cameras are concerned but just shopping around, most high def backup cameras that I found are bracket mounted not flush mount. I'll keep digging and let ya know if I find anything but I think this [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KWV114Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EqHCCbFDFTNAV ] the best I got so far.

    This [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HYZ3YWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XwHCCbX7FTBD0 ] may work as well but the picture quality doesnt seem to be as good. It's definitely budget friendly though.

    Thoughts?

    For the camera idea, I would actually like to see if we can get it integrated into a dash cam kit, like a front and back one.

    Any of the kits here on TW will work with standard dash cam output. Keep in mind that your display will limit your quality as well. So, using a 4K camera will still suck on a 480 display... However, it’s better that the display be the limiter.

    Ok, that sounds good. Only reason I'm asking is because I've only ever dealt with the Rexing V1LG which uses a micro USB cable (I think) for the rear camera. You might have to educate me on which dash cam systems you are using.
