Backup Camera Mounting
So, it seems everyone is running either the 1/4" round backup camera mounted in the rear bumper or the little 1" square guy on the spare tire rack.
I'm curious if anyone's install anything a little beefier than those two. I've been looking at a couple on AliExpress that have parking sensors built in with them. One even has a built in distance meter. I'd love to use that one but I'm not even sure if I'd have anywhere I could mount it.
I'm curious where you're all getting your mounting brackets or if you're fabbing them up yourselves.

I bought a piece of aluminum from home Depot cut it, bent it and screwed the camera to it. Painted it matte black and it's perfectly poking out my rim. I will post pictures tomorrow.

I mounted mine in the tire center hub with quick disconnects behind. It has the parking assist lines

Curious to see where everyone is exiting the body to run your b/u camera wires externally. Currently I have the wires tucked and running inside down the passenger side. My original thought was to place it in the rear bumper for a clean out of the way install.....
Thanks for any input / suggestions.

mounted mine here...spare comes off without having to mess with camera, wires or anything. I wanted mine a little higher and have I it wired to a toggle switch inside as well as the reverse circuit. I did this so i can flip it on manually and check the load on the trailer as i'm driving. It works great for me. used electrical elbow and painted it black...camera i used fit perfectly inside. Pretty crappy pics i know.
