Anyone have backup cameras on your 70 Series and if so, what brand and what size screens are you running?

I’m running this kenwood on my 70 (removed it during the Kaymar install and have yet to get it put back in. I’m going to be redoing my sound system and haven’t picked a new head unit yet.

I like the camera, I plan to install two (front/rear) on my 100 when I start building it up for more hard core wheeling.

I run this Pioneer head unit but you can't because of your antiquated metal dash

At my advanced age, I've found those screens to be to small.

My Tacoma has a factory backup camera and I've gotten really spoiled by it. The 79 Series has a lot of blind spots, especially with the spare tire location and could definitely benefit from a camera.

There are some that take up nearly the entire rear view. Not much, if all at, smaller than a double DINN.

Camper has a double DIN with the same Amazon reverse camera as #2. It's a good setup. Simple to install and hook up. We run the AXV5000 Sony in that truck. SUPER simple head unit and perfect for retired airline pilots because from what I learned today, it only requires 2 buttons to fly a plane. Green and red. Did I understand that right?

There are some cool aftermarket options for sure.
We were watching a review of the new Defender and it's rear view mirror is actually a full digital monitor. Very cool. While it is working...it's a Land Rover so it won't last long.
I have this on my FJC:
Works well.
Works well.
I have the same radio and I got the combo package with backup camera off Amazon. I think the camera by itself was around $40-50. I haven’t done anything with it yet. I don’t really use the factory one in my wife’s 4Runner. However I do use the factory one in my Dads Dodge all the time for hooking up trailer which is why I will be putting one on my 75Camper has a double DIN with the same Amazon reverse camera as #2.

I find myself having to force myself to use cameras......I'm not sure why....maybe just too set in my ways. Tonight I was in my 80 backing out of a spot and thought, "I really should put a backup camera in this truck". Ha.

@c2dfj45 .... "I find myself having to force myself to use cameras.."

I on the other hand can't imagine having a daily driver without one. If I use the only the trucks mirrors I find that objects that appear very close are actually feet away when viewed through the camera.

I've spent the last 20 years backing cars out of the shop every morning.....the cars that pay the bills have always had reverse cameras. I still back out stuff and will look down and think to myself, "hey....this car has a camera in it". Total mental block for some reason. I'm trying though....I watch the kids back stuff up and they never look anywhere but on that camera. Ha. I don't think they know there is a rear view mirror.
I don’t use mirrors often either. I usually just look out the back window. Put me in a box truck and I am lost trying to use mirrors.

Between backing farm trailers and boat trailers I've always been able to back things up with a fair amount of precision using just mirrors. Now I never even look at the mirrors.
This is what I got for when I get done with my build. Even has a touch screen 
Ooh. Does the whole mirror become a screen or just a square portion?This is what I got for when I get done with my build. Even has a touch screen
