That's about right. I've gotten as low as 9 driving fast into a head wind and as high as 17 going from the Krawl home on the Trace pulling a trailer.

13 about average

Andy you need to grab the wheels and tires wwwwwwAaaaaayyyy before a snorkel.

 

[AndyO78FJ40]

Agree the snorkel is not soon, just asking because they all look similar in design and figured it was a Chinese copy. I like the look of the circle style snorkel topper.

I emailed the guy to get some more pictures of the wheels/tires. I like the look of 16 in OEM so will have to make sure I love the wheels before I make the jump just for a tire upgrade. I also would have to work out getting them here too.

And the wheels sold.........last week.....

 

[Bomar]

Figures it was close to a $2k cost package

Really like that view better! I actually thought that triangular bracket with a flattened top mounting point on the tire swing out was for the rear camera when I got it. I'm going to call it triangular because that's its main shape but it's really a quadrangle because of the flattened top. I'd fab from 1/8 inch flat stock aluminum a quadrangular

facing piece to mimic the flat steel reinforcements just to the right on the vertical bar to tire support! It would be a facing for the existing framed triangular support and would taper less toward the top of the triangle to stand about an inch higher than the top mounting hole of the triangular frame, the top width would be a perfect mounting width for the original camera, two 1 inch tabs along the two vertical sides would be sticking out of the triangular shape to be bent in 90 degrees as side mounting tabs, then I would cut two cuts vertical from the top down about 1.5 inches down into the flat stock 2 inches apart in the center of the flat stock quadrangle top, now bend this flap you created down 90 degrees and drill your top mounting hole to mate with existing frame, the body of the camera will sit in this trough and the two camera-mounting screws drill through the face, drill through the two side mounting tabs into the side of the existing frame and add two black sheet metal screws with built in washer, paint the entire unit black to match, this should clean up the installation and hide the harness better, stainless harness mounting fasteners could be drilled into the back side of the horizontal bar of the tire swing out to hide the harness behind on its route to the triangular camera mounting pod, this should provide an even better view of the hitch and rear of the truck since it's a 1.5 inch higher mount! I think that an additional white-green factory harness section would give us the added length to route it properly, would it have the proper plug on the inside end to be a plug and play extension???, could we order such a harness affordable?? Dought it. This would allow use of the factory camera with out any compromise on replacing to stock location later while giving us a center of the truck camera location with a look that appears to be Slee designed, Angle of the view could be adjusted by making the bent in tabs a little loner with oblong mounting holes for adjustment!@sleeoffroad One of my main reservations about doing a double swing out bumper was loss of my excellent rear view camera, the stock view makes backing up to a trailer a breeze!

Or you could use 3M automotive tape since about 90% of cars are put together with it and plastic clips. My none OE camera has been attached with the tape for a year or 2 and no issues.

I think that was designed for a backup light.

Sorry, I posted out of context; was posting to a 100 series camera relocation thread and posted here too for your input; this guy in Dallas had this done at a local shop and appears to have a good rear camera view that doesn't compromise the original position, I think it's actually an antenna whip mount, but it makes a nice camera relocation frame

Would be nice, what's s good source of factory white-green harness to the camera, need an extra to avoid the splice, if you read my post in the mud 100 series tech section you'll see the guys thread that had the camera located in the triangular antenna whip frame, the mod I'm suggesting ought to clean that install up and relocate the camera a bit higher with ability to adjust the view, used 100 series harnesses might be a challenge to find
