Back up camera relocation help...

Even though I have a back up camera, I somehow still managed to back into a mailbox and put a pretty good dent in my tailgate. With that being said, I'm looking into just removing my tailgate and adding a net as a replacement.

I have read quite a few threads on here about relocation ideas but none seem to be permanent fixes. I would like for the fix to look almost factory if possible.

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Next to 3rd brake light?

 

I just built a high clearance rear bumper with swing out tire carrier for my truck and I need to relocate mine as well. I got the idea from Mademan another member on here about making a little bracket and putting the camera where the hole is where you drop down your spare tire. Just a thought. That's probably what I'll be doing.

 

I thought about trying to mount it in the hole that the wiring harness runs though at the back of the bed just above the bumper. The camera size looks like a close fit.

 

The brackets gor the cameta are not flush with eachother its pritty stupid set up. I relocated mine with my swing out.


Where the bolts are, are offset by an inch

 

I mounted mine to the left (driver's) side of the license plate in the bumper. Only issue is that the license plate lights blind it a bit at night.

 

Thread revival!

Anyone ever done this? I just had this thought and I'm wondering if it's at all possible...
