    Started working on the new back up camera mount.

    I had some angle floating around that looked about right. Burned a nice square,

    Chopped it and cleaned it up a bit

    Camera is a good fit but that wacky mounting plate Toyota uses isn't going to do me any favors.

    That's as far as I got before the wife came home and took me out for dinner. I think I'll chop the factory mount, lock it in place with a couple self-tappers, and then pin it down with some thin sheet I think I still have collecting dust. Hopefully I'lll be able to get that done soon. The camper and the tire back there create a hell of a blind spot backing up. Still need to change out the CV. I've got a long night flight tomorrow but I might see if I can get it done in the hangar tomorrow.

    Not bad man, taking it a day at time right now. I just got my application in to RLC, hoping to hear back soon.

    One of my students just gave me this

    Love him or hate him, doesn't matter, I love the mug and can't read it without hearing him read it

    Camera mount V3.0 is complete!

    It's far from perfect but I'm happy with it overall. Hopefully cops don't give me too much grief as it partially covers the plate

    Why the hell not?

    Works great, no more blind spot backing up!

    Next up is the CV axle.
    Might take the camper off after.

    Picture makes the camera look off center, it's just the pic. I spent way too much time making sure it landed in the X of Texas :rofl::bananadead:

    Thank you! I'm really digging the camera right there, the field of view is incredible! Just wish it didn't have those stupid back up lines on it. I'll have to get a picture
