What camera did you use and how does it mount? I'm surprised front cameras don't come on JLs. I believe the Gladiator will have one.

I used the following:
The camera is great. Its sort of genius that they have these small wires that loop out of the cord and depending on your install you cut them or leave them uncut. For example, if you mount it like I did, you cut one wire to flip the image left and right (because its default is rear facing) and you cut another wire to flip it upside down (because its default is to be mounted under the lip of a trunk (which is the opposite of what I did) and there's an additional wire to clip that would remove the "distance markers" if you weren't interested in that as well. Quality is great although the rear camera that comes with the Jeep is a bit sharper compared.

You need the video cable and Tazer to connect and then enable the "cargo camera" option. This gives you the ability to engage the uConnect system to show you the video feed. And I wired the camera as outlined in this thread: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/off-road-camera-front-facing-writeup.13714/

I installed a Roost USA Roof Top Tent on the American Jeeper JL Wrangler. Love it and canā€™t wait to get out and use it!

Vector Off-road JLE Full Width Dock and Rugged Ridge Headlight guards installed.. I like it so far!
How close to the dash does the JLE dock sit, or is it physically contacting the dash? Are the arms and rack pretty stable on bumpier roads? Thanks!

Finished installing my Trektop. I wish it would warm up a bit so I can paint my JCR sliders, it looks so naked without anything there.

That looks pretty tough! Can't wait to hear your review on the top once you have taken it thru it's paces.

I made an appointment to apply partial Suntek ppf to all the leading edges followed by CQuartz Professional for the middle of March. I hope my JLUR is here by then...

Been on jury duty this week so Iā€™ve had some time to play since I wasnā€™t selected. I was able to tint my front windows to match the back, apply WRANGLER decal on hood and flag decal on the side, installed led light on back window that lights up everything, new dash speakers, leds in tail lights, my sonā€™s favorite being the Jeep lights that shine down from the doors, and also put in the tazer jl mini.
