Yeah, tiny rear window and headrests. I can't believe the rear view camera wasn't a "standard" item. Thank god we have it and we have the passenger side headrest removed and tucked uner the rear seat. We do use the side mirrors a lot but I like to see out the rear on the highway for the "man" and backing up to walls and such.

The snugtop makes the rear camera almost a necessity. Using my rear view mirror, I can see semi-trucks...if they're 4 feet behind me.

That's what cameras are for. I left mine on all the time.... it makes life alot easier for those Jerks that ride your ***, and for saying hello to those Jerks that pass you and slow down....

Thanks for the pix Jake! Looks like you really can't see out the rear window to well any more.

It took about half of what I had left... but that wasn't too much to start with. It didn't take me long at all to get used to the tire back there.

That said, the THORparts bumper is also available without the tire gate, if you just want to upgrade your rear bumper to an awesome piece of steel!

If you put the mount on upside down you can see fine. Just undo the 4 bolts flip it the other way before you go off-road

A couple new mods today... nothing earth shattering, but here you go:

I replace my "zip-tie and angle iron special" license plate light, with a nice mount and light from Rockhard 4x4:








And after picking up a drill bit big enough, I installed my "fail safe" pin for my tire gate... to keep the gate from going rogue if I get really bouncy off-road:
