Got this from my taco and 4runner friends. He had extras lying around and gave me one to see if it would work for the land cruiser. It was from pelfrey build, but they are no longer in business. I saw a similar part from this vendor 2010+ Toyota 4Runner Backup / Reverse Camera Relocation Kit

During the time of install I had really bad allergies so I didn't get to take photos during the install.

Couple notes after the relocation
- I can't really tell the position of the rear tire when I backup due to the camera angle. So I have to be mindful when I backup.
- Due to the camera relocated closer to the passenger side, u get a bit more view on that side.
- I would like to bend the bracket in the future to get a better view.

Lol. Everyone asked me that. It’s because half the screen is will be blocked by that bumper swing arm handle. The camera has a really wide view
 
It's always something that comes up at the last moments of a project that makes it fun. Run with it a bit and see if you can make do as is. Good thing is you have done the hard part moving the wires. Looks great.

Thanks. I have a couple of ft of excess wire just Incase I want to move it around. I might try to move it higher in the future. But this works for now. I’m pretty happy.
 
BTW do you break any of those tiny white clips on upper hatch surround? @#&^% I did :bang:
