I have got a new toy that Roachie has not got, I think.

It is a reversing camera. Colour screen is mounted under the overhead console where the rear view mirror should be. The camera is mounted on the back of roof rack just below the work light.

Instillation was not rocket science either. Fit the camera, make sure that it is the right way up or the image will be up side down on the screen. Run the cable into the vehicle, I did this by running the camera cable next to the legs of the roof rack and then down through the snorkel into the engine bay , through the fire wall and then into the roof console. The camera comes with a mounting bracket, easily fitted to the roof console and can be turned to face the driver or passenger or in the straight ahead position. A cable from the second battery connected to the positive and negative behind the screen, a press of the remote control and I have a great view of the vehicle behind the Troopie when reversing. It has infrared lights so it looks like day light when driving at night.

A mate of mine, in his 80 Series, backed into a tree and did $2500 damage so the cost of the unit, less than $500, is worth it.
