Off Road+Plus and TrailCam Off-Road Camera

[55WillysWagon]

I just watched the Gladiator intro and the Off Road Plus feature sounds cool. It states that it allows for high speed 4WD driving with the front sway bar connected, front diff open and rear diff locked. Sounds perfect for the beach, dunes or on dirt roads. I suspect Z automotive could help us with this but it'd be nice to retrofit.
Also like the front camera with forward path display on the media screen. That needs to come to Wrangler.

Tazer can add both of the selective sway bar/locker and the camera although it requires you placing the camera and running the wires but Tazer enables it.

I'll be curious if we can steal the camera module that comes with the Gladiator and put it in the JL grill. It may not be the best place for it with winch/bumper/bull bar/stinger but could be a nice placement for some.

I would bet that we see both features introduced to the JL in the near-ish future (2020?) to easy not to implement and it lets them add a little something to let marketing highlight.

Oh man off road pages fiasco 2.0!

Any chance we'll see Off-Road Plus and Baja Mode in the JL? Also, does that Gladiator screen look bigger to you than the JL?

I wonder where the put the camera on the Gladiator.

It'll be available on the JT and JL mid 2020.

Looks like the center slot of the grill.

It will definitely be available for us as well. Just would have to run the wires and install camera like you said. There is already a guy who has at least done the front facing trail cam and it looks great. No guide lines like shown above but still very nice. I may do it.

Just got my Gladiator and want the camera soon!!!. My dealer didn't have it in the system yet. Does anybody have a source? Once my ActionCamper is installed, the camera will be a great safety and convenience feature.

The guide lines and hooking it up to the windshield washer juice like on the gladiator is the biggest feature. I'd be happy with just the guides.

Here is the video of it in action I posted in another thread.

I love this setup!

The only issue for me is I have a blackout grille insert.. so I have no honeycomb to clip to..

Not putting a front cam on the Wrangler when they're almost 60k, already have a 2nd video input and 4 year old Explorers that you rent at Hertz has them and those can't even be marketed as "trail cams" to them is one of the things that blows my mind. I'm sure it's some upsell racket that'll sell for $500 on the Rubicon Overland Safari edition.

Anyway, plenty of us have added them to our JLs. I'm using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H852D49/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You need a programmer (tazer, etc and the video cable from Z automotive).

I added mine because, I won't bullshit, I can't tell where the hell my front bumper is it sticks out so far, and the last thing I need is a steel bumper going through my wall.

Close, it's actually a $595 option

I think I’d want my trail camera mounted where I could see the undercarriage. I can see in front of the Jeep just fine, but navigating around obstacles that might catch on the diff, etc would be helpful.
