Hi everyone, after a lot of great reviews and videos I decided to pick up the Wolfbox g900.
I like the idea of mounting the mirror on my vector bar since I do plan to move up to 37” tires on the next year. My issue is where do I mount the rear camera? I don’t really want to mount it to the hardtop since I plan to have it off most of summer, and I don’t want it to be interfered with when taking rear tire off.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Also need to worry about when weather is bad that it won’t get covered in water/snow and be unusable.

Thank you

If you are concerned about mounting the rear cam externally, can you mount it to the roll bar?

I mounted mine on my third brake light. After a couple of weeks I built a little "doghouse" on my 3D printer to protect it. It works well even with my 39" spare tire mounted on my Westin rear bumper.

Good idea I’ll have to look into this. Issue I see with this is the spare tire will still be in the way of the cameras and it being so far back get a lot of the interior of the jeep.

Looks good only problem for me is I don’t have the high mount third brake light. I’m running a cavfab tire carrier and a light ring.
