    none that I have seen. I have a wireless back up camera in my work truck and even tho its one of the better brands it still sucks haha. gets the job done but I couldn't imagine 1080p or 1440p rear cams would be very good wireless.

    It's not too hard to install the rear cams tho, you can pretty much get by just using your fingers to push the wire into the soft headboard above the doors. I had zero experience before I installed my first dual channel dash cam and it was easy.

    Even with my current setup with a topper, i had no problem pulling off a few plastic trim pieces, finding the hole in the floor that other wires went thru, wiring the cable to the back of the truck, and installing the rear cam in my toppers rear window.

    you really don't need to take anything apart other than in my case the floor/door sill, but my install was more complex.

    i picked up one of those sets of nylon pry tools from harbor freight recently

    recently I read on TW that if the headliner is disturbed in the back it will probably droop :(

    maybe along the bottom floor would work better, that paneling has to come out eventually

    I guess I never had to install to the back of my cab, but installed rear cams in my prius and previous civic. When I got my tacoma I didn't install the rear cam because I knew I was getting a topper a few weeks after I got the truck.

    You can just shove it in there. It’s easy.

    usually I pull out the A pillar but you can tuck wire behind that too if you don’t want to pull it out

    My big goal is to keep my interior stock looking as possible, where on the cab did you put it?

    I know I’m several days late to your question but it because of the lake. Superior has a massive impact on temperatures. Any time there is a sudden temperature change like that places like Duluth aren’t going to see it as quick.

    its the longest river in the USA, i cross it 4 times on my usual way to St Louis, where i am still on banishment the last time i checked

    google says... Thus measured to its highest headwaters, the Missouri River stretches for 2,639 miles (4,247 km). When combined with the lower Mississippi, the Missouri and its headwaters form part of the fourth-longest river system in the world, at 3,745 miles

    that Alberta Clipper is a cruel monster, it should be lifting later today here though so it can snow
