I've never heard of anyone doing that but it would be sick! I would definitely recommend getting the widest angle cameras you can. And then see if you can see both left and right tires with one cam. If not, I would put both cams upfront looking at each tire. That way you can have a perfect view of your front end and then you just imagine the rear following that same path.

Default Small Cam

I would recommend the small cameras that are sold by the Lockpick guys. I have the liscense plate camera, and it's ok. My buddy mounted the smaller camera and I liked how you had more mounting options. The smaller camera lacks lighting or night vision, but that's the only limitation I could see. I'd recommend some rock lights if you plan on crawling at night. Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Thanks for the input guys. I got the idea from a guy who bought an old skid plate of mine. The lock pick has a jack for a reverse camera and tehn two other cameras, so I figure put one to see obstacles approaching the front diff, then another to see what is approaching the rear diff. Don't know how much I will use them, but why not if I ahve the capability? I will make a thread once I ahve everything hooked up.
