Started installing a backup camera:

I did the same, but mounted the camera higher, up under the shelf that the Rhino locks into. Putting it there allowed the camera to be more protected and still allowed for an unimpeded view.

PIC?

PIC?

I'm out of town for business travel at the moment, but I'll see if I can't get my son to snag a pic for me.

Hmm, thats not a bad idea. So basically the top bolt of the same bracket? I guess I was worried that the tire would block it. I'll have to try that.

Yup, that's exactly where I put it.

The truck dressed up as a pirate ship for Halloween. Complete with a cupcake treasure hunt and "walking the plank" down the slide.

I'll bet it's getting a better life now than sitting in the motor pool waiting for a PMCS.

Zombie apocalypse, that's what they called us at my youngest school event trunk or treat.

Got the 2-man soft top installed on my M1114 today. Next step, soft doors.

Check with [B]aghumvee[/B] I purchased some NOS doors from him and are very happy, there were some small imperfections (small brown spots) in the windows but it is hardly noticeable and of course this was discussed beforehand, He is a good guy!!!

Thanks. I've already got a set. The only problem is that they're camo color.

I took the advice here and moved the backup camera:



Also finished the install with the monitor and everything. Its hooked up to the TCM power feed wire, so turns on and off with the start switch. It stays on full time when running (I dont want to need to be in reverse to use it).

Is that Motorola mic connected to a Spectra or maybe an XTL?

Its a Motorola XPR4550, UHF low split so it can do HAM, GMRS, and commercial. Its also hooked up to my intercom system on the receive side. Still need to hook up the intercom for transmit though (hence the mic).

Ahhh, you fooled me by slumming with the XTL mic..
Which is likely a better mic anyway, unless you drop it too many times.

Haha, I like the old school mics

Thoroughly cleaned the dashboard to chassis ground. All wire lead corrosion treated with vinegar and scotchbrite. Body panel acid etched.

so far so good with the gauges working normally now.
