    I just installed my anytime front camera kit from cali-raised. Shout out to them and their customer service it was A+, they even upgraded shipping at no cost!

    So the Story goes.......Installed 99% of the kit with 0 problems, I just can't find a good mount location that shows 1. adequate view range/angle 2. Has a sturdy mount that's not to visable. 3. Can run wires and hide components discretely

    I currently have it mounted below my LED bar with a bracket I made from 14g steel, but im having trouble attaching it securely (using 3m from plate to LED bar and A nut/bolt from camera to plate) Also it's kinda sorta hidden, but kinda out there a little. A better spot would be great. Or a more secure way to attach a new bracket or modify this one.

    Any input would be great

    Mind this is TEMPORARY. I was thinking maybe weld the plate the the LED but the back is ribbed/vented and also painted so ya. And the camera wires are zip tied up the side of the bumper gaurd with the LED wires but just taped the rest to keep from dangling but again the back is vented


    Maybe JB weld

    Yeah just slap some JB weld on those ribs and tape it on til it dries. Make sure it's aimed right before it dries.
