REAR camera relocation thread -- 24 Trailhunter w/ Alu-Cab

[Lets_Taco_Bout_It]

Good afternoon folks!

I am getting my Alu-Cab Contour installed next week on my 24 TH, and I am interested in relocating (installing an additional) rear facing camera (NOT BED CAMERA).

I have a game plan, let me know ya'lls thoughts.

Instead of actually relocating the rear facing camera, I am planning on purchasing an additional rear OEM camera and installing it with the GGOffroad Camera relocation kit. Here's where it gets tricky; I want to have the option of switching between the original camera and the relocated camera easily w/o having to remove the headliner to access the wiring. I was thinking, is it possible to create some kind of junction under the rear passenger seat where I can manually unplug the OEM camera wiring and plug in the new camera wiring (depending on if I have the bed canopy installed). One of the main reasons I'd like to purchase an add'l camera instead of removing, is to keep the chance of leaking/reinstalling to a minimum.

I have drawn a picture of my concept below. Please excuse my extreme lack of artistic ability.

I don't know, but I have a GG Offroad relocation kit I'd sell at half retail. I didn't need it for my Smartcap.

Do you still have it, I'm interested.

Nope, but thanks for asking.

OP, did you end up doing this? I have a lone peak camper installed and I'm looking at purchasing the oem cameras and harness instead of removing the existing ones from the spoiler. I'm wondering if you did it and how it turned out.

I'm going to toss out there what I did. I installed a rear tire/gas carrier which blocked the camera on my tailgate. I have a TRD-OR, with just the tailgate camera. I bought a harness and camera from Toyota, and located the new camera to the license plate area on the bumper. I did loose the guide lines, but I have not found that to be an issue.

I didn't cut the factory harness, and I left the original camera in place. All I did was unplug the camera connector from under the bed, and plug in the replacement. I did take the time to tease out the camera wires from the new tailgate harness to clean it up.
