backup camera RCSB
hey all
i just put a touch screen in my 04 RCSB was really missing the hands free, bluetooth audio & backup camera, i tow a lot and miss it when hooking up the trailer
where is every one mouthing the backup camera's? i was thinking in the bed in the space between the bumper and tailgate but think a lot of the view would be blocked? I have a raised hitch so right under the bumper between the hitch mounts is out would just see the ball since i never take the ball mount out
whats my options?

I think the factory toyota tacoma cameras are stuck in right under the tail gate handle. They work really well they angle so you can see the hitch perfectly and its a breaze to hook up a trailer by yourself. I am interested in what you end up with been wanting to do this for awhile.

I had the camera in between tailgate and bumper in the sheet metal, and the view wasn't terrible but it made it a pain to use during the day time because of the light sensitivity being set in a shadow.
Now I have that same exact camera mounted in the middle of my license plate and it's awesome. Great visibility and range of view. I don't have a trailer hitch so I cant comment on hooking up a ball to a trailer
I was using the c clamp to push the bumper pad back down from previous owners screw up

What's wrong with these? They bolt right up. Get a wireless transmitter and you're all set. I just did this on my vette and spent like 30 bucks all together, as soon as it warms up my trucks getting it too.
