Received this relatively cheap backup camera from Amazon.

Screenshot_20230904_205822_Amazon Shopping.webp

Will be mounting it to my front bumper for an upcoming offroad trip next month. Came with two ways to wire it to trigger the camera/monitor, but, I might go semi-permanent and install my own switch so I'm not taking up a 12v outlet for the whole trip.

Initially image is setup reversed for backup cam, but clipping an exposed jumper flips the image for front facing use.

Picture quality is solid from the little test I did. Will try and mount it/run my wires this week. Link is here if anyone is interested.

McGard lock nuts. I replaced the cheapo OE capped nuts with black McGard Tough Nuts so I figured I might as well get the lock nuts too.

My 5100's (because I got tired of waiting for 4600's) came today. Sadly, while I have the time to put them in, I'm waiting until we get back from vacation since I need to tow the camper I don't want to tear in to the front of the truck and be up against the wall of putting it back together so we can leave. Gauranteed I'll break something since I need the thing to be 100% or we can't go.

So I'll wait till we get back and I have a few more days off. They'll just sit on the shelf and glare at me.

Maybe install tomorrow
I bought amazon cheap ones first, they didn't fit quite right - when I ordered these as a replacement they went in like a glove and look so nice. I also like the reflector that is built in, unlike the cheap amazon specials.

Ordered the other day. Front and Back row seat covers. The Carhartt Precision Fit ones seemed pretty high in price. These were made by the same company and had similar specs for a lower price. Photo looked pretty similar. Both use Cordura.
Will see how they look when they show up.

Looks nice and compact. Let us know how it performs....I'm curious and there is a Harbor Freight about 3 miles from me.
Steve,
I finally got around to using this charger and really like it...small, convenient and easy to use. It was recommended by someone who has one and is very experienced with chargers and batteries. 4.7 review rating on HF! 12V Digital Battery and System Tester (harborfreight.com)
