It sucks pretty bad having to pull the spare off, but now that it's installed I dont think I'll have to do it often. I installed an over tire cargo rack at the same time so maybe it's just that whole experience ha ha

Mine is just stuck to the tailgate window. I have never taken the hard top off and can say with absolute confidence that never will.

Fair enough for you , But we plan to take ours off.

Stay away from this one... It's too big and requires film changes to keep it ready; not to mention It's nearly impossible to mount on the dash.

Or you could go this route:

That's only for Aggies!!!

Any folks have experience with the dash cam offered via Ford in their aftermarket / accessories site? I have some Ford Pass points burning a hole in my pocket.

I take it that you don’t do a 5-tire rotation?

Best win-win (for me) was installing a 4k video rearview mirror with forward-facing camera built-in and rearward camera mounted on spare tire stem. Gorgeous, bright, wide-angle live view of what's happening behind the vehicle while loop-recording both fwd/rear views nonstop.

Recommendation is getting one with internal Sony camera optics/electronics

I do but only every oil change which is maybe every 6-9months. I guess"often" for me is weekly or monthly

Understand. I've been doing a 5-tire rotation (using local tire shop) on the wife's previous '21 & now '23 bronco every 3k miles so roughly 5 rotations/year.

I use a VanTrue Nexus N4 Pro with GPS mount. It’s not hardwired (but could be) as I just used the USB on the dash to power it. A 500GB SD card can hold 10hours of video. I’m only recording with front and rear facing interior camera. I was too lazy to install the back camera.

got a piece of sheet metal, bent and painted it and used the accessory point on the rear bar. Ran the cable inside the plastic along the C pillar to the floor to the front then up the A pillar back to the camera.

<Edited to add camera view>
Decent visibility out the back, washed out right now because of my bright white garage door directly behind the vehicle/ in front of me.
