I went with the gold trim ring to match my rig!

Another one followed me home. Can we keep it?
I’ve got a similar camera on our 99 LX470

One caution, in our case, it “fit” in the Chinese definition of “fit”, but nothing a little VHB tape couldn’t fix.
Back-up camera with intelligent tracks
@LostAfrican @AWeav100 @janz3n I just got this camera. How did you guys route/get the video cable into the cabin by the tools/jack? It looks like you have to fish the wire by the wiper motor and go up the hatch, then pop off both ends of the grommet (by the wiper hose) and get the wire...

Do they sell these camera's but for the right side location?

Was wondering if the set angle would be ok. Seems to point more down than my current camera.I’ve got a similar camera on our 99 LX470

I installed the camera on the first post on the thread that @jLB linked to a few years ago and it does point more down. I'm wondering how much of the camera will be blocked when I get a driver side tire carrier, hence the question about the right side camera.

Figured your planned spare would be in the way!
Is this based on your installation or product description? I ordered from aliexpress and Amazon, and I haven't found one that fits.

My son and I argue over “straight back” and “show bumper”, the adjustable version allows us to split the difference of my 06 OE camera, and his aftermarket license plate camera on my son’s 2000 LC.

Installed, I can live with the set angle. I don't need to see the person smiling behind me!

What does the set angle look like?
I think it all depends on what you are looking for with the camera and what the "fisheye" effect is like with it. I know that mine from JOYING is supposed to have some fisheye effect but it pretty much doesn't. I have it center mounted and really was only a concern when I was looking at getting a trailer to tow, using the camera to help align.

So I do I have a limited field of view now but it is all I need. I can see plenty well in all directions. I am used to using my mirrors anyway. I can see how many would need better viewing angle though.
Here it was with the fixed angle:
Mine was angled way too low, but there are probably some properly angled cameras out there.
And here it is now with the adjustable:

Looks right. I prefer angled of course but am sticking with my setup.
