I've seen that one with the red vehicle on a 4runner looked fine.
For anybody interested. Here are closeups of the bracket and how tight it gets coming out of the hood compartment. I have t seen any paint removal at this point.

I carefully ran wires along the frame on the drivers side for my rear lights. Hardest part was the rear wheel well - re-did that several times to get the "right" path for a clean install.
Can you post any pics how you feed the wire from the rear hatch to the frame on the driver side... Got this universal license plate bracket to install a mini light bar or even a few spot lights just not sure how to feed the wire so it be hidden ..

Where are you bringing your wiring from - the top? If so, I misunderstood...
Thats a good question , thats the plan i guess from the top of the lower hatch but how would i hide the wire so it dont be visible ?

I have the benefit of a rear 2x swing tire carrier/cooler rack. The wiring I ran was for the Baja's that are flush mounted in the photo:
I have also used the swing arm to get wires from my aftermarket backup cam on my license plate frame to the "inside" of the vehicle

wow what a beauty ... I wish they had places out here in the bay area to do installs like a rear bumper like that.. I guess im going to have to do some brainstorming see how i would feed this wire so it can be hidden

Grass Valley is only a couple hours from you, and DIssent has some BEAUTIFUL options!
Yea, she's a 2019.
Good Luck!!!
Did you extend the factory camera or aftermarket solution? Is it tied into the factory screen? Did you trim the fender above the swing arm bearing(I didn't trim mine but I like the trim edge you put there)?

I wanted to keep the factory camera, but ended up disconnecting it at the harness and running the aftermarket one to the factory harness. It ties into the factory screen, and while it works, you can tell the portion that is from the aftermarket camera vs the portions from factory cameras. Also, I lost the guidelines for backing up. Hoping to find a shop or solution to go back to the factory camera (that was a "oh, by the way, the camera can't be relocated like I told you when you dropped the truck off for the bumper" issue).
Trim is the standard universal edge trim - matches the size/color used for my ARB install up front.
Did you have to trim out that plastic part to fit the trim edge? I have a 2016 and couldn't fit trim edge there only way I can see it fitting if I cut the plastic fender as that part has a lip that won't clear the trim edge unless cut.
Another successful install of the CBI brackets. Used the heat mold method to clearance the cowl. Simple and fast.
What lights did you go with?
Although it rained today and there was condensation in one, already got the return arranged and another same set on the way. These I’ll give a spray test too and keep the best pair.
As far as light on the test bench they’re bright as all get out. Not yet wired on the truck.

Yes trimming of the plastic was required. Again, the same edge trim material for the ARB front was used on the back.
