Next moves? Agonizing on what to do with fenders. Looking at the Metalcloak Overland, but hate that you have to drill into Jeep. Also, they're expensive as hell. Also debating on installing rear view camera as I cant see ish out the back window... Anyway, appreciate any feedback, suggestions, comments!
Looks awesome! I have the same rig. Just planning out my upgrades now. Here's what I went with for the backup camera. Total cost was about $85 and has an factory look and feel. The only thing I did different was I mounted mine in the rear bumper.
Backup Camera Setup
Soldering iron
Solder
Heat shrink tubing
Wire to extend positive/negative from camera

Gino camera will have view and lines as seen in post #29 above. I'm very happy with the picture.
Install in bumper using included hole saw. Run wiring through grommet under jack and connect power to reverse light wire in harness just inside right rear corner (no need to go all the way to the tail light housing). White/Gray = positive. Black = negative. Run video wire along existing harness on passenger side to dash and up to the radio. Plug harness into back of radio.
Go to dealer and hand them these directions:
