Forgot to add:Hey fellow Sarge Green JL/U owners, I am in a dilemma wanting to name my Jeep. I am within a few names and hope you can help. It will pretty much be stock for a couple of years. It is an 80th Anniversary 4 door with a premium soft top (which I go topless every chance I get). Let me know your favorites, here are the choices:
1. The Beast
2. The Green Monster
3. Jade
4. Booger
5. Loki
6. Hornet
7.???
8. TankForgot to add:
7. Hulk
Oh man, that was quite a project. It’s not so much the camera housing, as it is getting access to the camera (see pic). You need to remove the spare tire mount from the tailgate, then remove the metal bracket from inside the mount. After that you can remove the plastic insert to which the camera is attached. I found a couple You-Tube videos on how to accomplish this. I never had to cut the camera wire or add a wire extension. You then need to cut off the long nose oem camera mount flush off the metal bracket and spare tire mount. Put that all back together and route the camera out the top of the mount. I bought a Quadratec Rear Camera Spare Tire Bracket (see pic). I built the housing from some thin sheet metal (see template pic). From my local hardware store I special ordered some #3 x 1-1/4” mach. screws, nuts, washers. I used a 5/8 ID x 7/8 OD rubber grommet to which to secure the camera lens. I’ll try to take some pictures inside the housing to show how the housing, camera, and Quadratec bracket are fastened together using spacers to create a solid fit.YES! I would like one too!

Crap! That is really involved. Ok, plan B: by a new bike rack. POh man, that was quite a project. It’s not so much the camera housing, as it is getting access to the camera (see pic).

Since I finally figured out how to navigate this forum, (my old school brain at work plus I’ve been busy), I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Andrew, I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and now live in a small town just outside of Toledo. I brought my Sarge Green Jeep home in Dec ‘20. Previously I had a 2008 JK for 13 years and 195,000 miles. During the quarantine time over the winter I’ve be working on a historical modification of my Jeep (“Histo-mod”, if I may coin the term). Basically creating a uniform of 30+ parts from the WWII Jeep, to attach to my Jeep. Nothing is bolted onto the Jeep; everything can be installed/removed. I’m trying to create a historically accurate, respectful modification for the 80th Anniversary, as a salute to those who have served and those who have been a part of building Jeeps for 8 decades. Also, hopefully this shows that the current Wrangler hasn’t strayed too far from it’s 1941 roots. I plan on being a part of the upcoming Toledo Jeep Fest. Here are pictures of my Jeep from day 1 and a few of my progress....
