New Rubicon Getting Trail Cam option!

[Spearmin]

I have been waiting for someone to make a deployable drone that mounts to the top of your Jeep and you can send it out to do recon and return. Did you see blade runner II? Surprised this doesn't exist yet.

let her drive, you spot

Yeah we are going to work our way up to that being an option eventually. She wouldn't last time out.

The technology is there, that would be awesome.

Yup all the peaces are there....

This is nice, but having a 360 camera would be much better, especially for the Rubicon. Hopefully the 360 camera will be an available feature in the upcoming refresh. The Bronco will already have this option.

But this is a positive direction.

Just ordered a '21 JLURD with the off road camera. Afterwards I had the concern that an aftermarket bumper with bull/brush/stinger might block it. Anyone have experience with that?

It will most certainly block it. You have to keep that in mind when installing a new bumper and lights etc. It would be nice if someone comes up with a relocation kit with all the wiring and software updates.

This was one of the factory options in the fully loaded Juke that I traded in for my Jeep.

Or who remembers this 90’s gem?

I ordered this option too and have the same concern. It would be great if someone out there with an aftermarket bumper and front camera could let us know. Maybe someone with a 2020 Gladiator? I doubt it would completely block it, because of the cats eye lens that throws a wide (and far) angle. I will be getting a bumper because of my desire to easily flat tow, and am leaning towards a Rock Hard Patriot Aluminum. The bull bar DOES look like it might be low enough to be out of the way for the most part when compared to other brands.

I know two guys who have retrofitted from the JT to the JL the trail cam. In both cases it was using the Mopar parts (camera, video processor, and retrofitted/thinned wire harness) and was a $1500 project for all the parts -- too rich for my blood. But it can be done, and has been done.

Got a link? Do you know if it has the super imposed track?

Honestly I rarely take my JLUR off road (just beach dunes on Long Island). Bought a Jeep more for the Topless/Doorless experience and a Rubicon with the Steel Bumper for the good looking tires plus a factory warranty. (insert Mall Crawler Memes here).

With that said, I would be interested in the trail cam for my personal non off road use. It will help me park in tight spaces on the street at Queens, Brooklyn and esp Manhattan. Anybody disagree?

Why need a camera to tell where the other car is in the city... just inch forward until you see the other car move.

Strap a lidar sensor to that thing along with the camera. Enter you vehicle specifics (lift, tire height, ground clearance, etc).

Drone sends back video and topography info where the video is used to predict topography conditions (slippery cape sandstone). With this info a path could be automatically calculated.

Self driving off-road vehicle. Damn, I wanna work on that project! I bet it’s something already being worked on at darpa.

still 3.73s for diesel. sorry man.

Are you sure? The site says 4.10 is standard with the diesel.

the website build tool has issues/inconsistencies/bugs.

if you choose to believe it, i can't change your mind. I'm going by build sheets, and the build sheets say 3.73s.

Darpa is too advance for this.. buy the proper DJI stuff and your almost off an running.
