I have acquired a second camera, the same type as I already have mounted on the roof rack of the Troopie as a reversing camera. The monitor has two plugs so that I can switch between two cameras.
I was experimenting yesterday as where to fit it on the front of the vehicle when I thought why not fit it so it picked up on the front tyres.
Then a second
bright idea. I get this clunk noise on full lock some times. So now I will mount the camera to pick up the steering rods and see if I can pick up where this clunk is coming from.
Once that I have finished looking under the vehicle while driving I will mount the camera somewhere on the front of the vehicle. I should be able to get the wheel placement spot on then and I will also have some thing that Roachie doesn't have, a camera on the front of the vehicle as
well as one on the back.

Hi Wayne
I eliminated the 'graunch' in the front end. It was sway bar bushes- replaced all round with Nolathane and now all good.
The 'clunk' has been narrowed down to where the two transverse steering arms are close together on the L/H/S. Under some conditions the upper arm rotates forward & aft and the upper arm makes contact with the lower arm. I took it to my local TruckAlign and they tightened & adjusted something?? and that has reduced dramatically (although not completely eliminated) the 'clunk'.
With all the camera
views- it's gonna be like a V8 Supercar or a F1 racer !!! In a recent 4by magazine- a guy had mounted a mini-camera into a waterproof mini-torch housing, and this was cable-tied to the bullbar, with USB cables back to his puter in the car. Would make for interesting footage..!!
