Yea... stealth mode.... have thought of the locks but assume I'll use they key (!) at least a few times over time so might skip it.Very easy to do btw, just make sure you apply thin coats to start with and ideally coat around 12 times for best results.
12 coats of plasti dip? I've watched several videos by the plastidip folks and talked with them...6-7 coats was recommended

Any suggestions on how I can extend my backup camera? I put on 18x9 with +1 offset Fuel Assault wheels with 285/70/18 Ridge Grapplers. And we lost a little of the view on the camera b/c it doesn't extend far enough.
Unfortunately due to how the camera is mounted in the housing I don't see a way to extend it without going to an aftermarket carrier. I had to cut/modify my camera housing to fit with my bumper/tire carrier which allowed it to sit further out, but I don't think you could do the same if you are still using the factory carrier.
Sorry I don't have a solution for you.

No worries. Thanks for the explanation.

Rubicon JLU. It's a Jeep.

Thought I saw them recommend "at least" 8 coats? But I may be mistaken...

I could see how it improved with each coat though, would be interesting to compare 7 vs 12.
Let us know how you get on.

Installed an off-road camera. Also managed to break a clip on the uconnect and had to use black tape to hold it in place. :angry:

I did paint the hole before installing the camera.

More info here please.

Camera? Where did you get it? How and where does it plug in on the radio? I have the 8.4. How do you turn it on and off? I know the Tazer JL has the option just haven’t looked into that function yet. Any other things we might need to know before taking this on?

Quality product and customer service is good too. He’s doing final fit test on a lot of the JL stuff now & then it’ll be available. He can do custom Logos in the panels too which is pretty cool...
Hey Jay, any chance you’ve seen the table? I’m curious if it mounts like the others in same location as the mopar one or not.

I haven't gotten mine yet but I do know that it does not use the existing holes in the tailgate like the Mopar table...it's a little larger table than the Mopar.
