Mega_Mod: Concept to Reality

Further down was the conceptual layout. Here are now a few pics of the real deal:

Starting from the back - here is the camera mounted to view - slightly tilted - towards the center and the hitch ball. There was no other place other than to drill through the licence plate (not allowed). So unless I get me one of the licence plate cameras it will stay here.



Here is the connector to the Camper. This is the same as described in one of the previous posts.




From there the camera and the connector terminate in a junction box, notice the silicone to seal of the environment:



The junction box mounted to the bottom of the truck bed.




I followed the original cable harness and tugged the cables into the plastic protector as best as I could. I used some heat shielded tape in some areas to really keep them protected.





From there I made my way into the engine compartment. Going through the firewall is always a problem. I used the plastic cover where usually the clutch pedal goes out. I drilled a hole, used a rubber grommet and then used more of the heat shielded tape.







Ones inside I routed everything to the center console and added a main switch next to the steering wheel.



Overall this took me a full Sunday due to my efforts to get the cables protected as best as I could.
