... still a bargain).
what mirror harness power adapter did you go with? No issues with power? Id like to do the same and not interested in powering the GPS or parking camera. Just want for a rear view mirror. thanksGot the Wolfbox G900 rearview mirror/camera install done this weekend, got quick from @StickerFab
Didn't use the hardwire or the GPS antennae. Got power from one of these mirror harness power adapters and double-sided taped it up to the plastic housing of the lane keeping stuff
Mounted my camera on the rear brake light. Not crazy bout the flex/vibration when going over bumps...but i guess i can live with it.
Can't speak for the poster you're asking, but i installed the same mirror/screen with a Dongar Technologies adapter. It's a little chonky so im looking for a smaller one. Looking forward to other responses here.
Yes, with the help of two vice-grips and a very large rubber hammer wielded with the help of a friend, who happens to be a ferrier. The width of the brackets seems too narrow to fit on the bumper at first. We pinched the bumper on either side of where the brackets go to at least get the corner started and then used the rubber mallet to beat it on. Then did the same on the other side. Used a 4 lb. sledge hammer to get it centered. For most of the three hours it took, we didn’t think it could be done.
I used this one: Amazon.com: Naponal GPS Dash Cam Power Adapter, (16Pin Type A Connector) Mirror Camera Radar Charger Station GPS Dashcam Charger Cable for Select Ford Bronco, F150 and More with Auto-dimming Rearview Mirror : Electronics
Great thank you !I used this one: Amazon.com: Naponal GPS Dash Cam Power Adapter, (16Pin Type A Connector) Mirror Camera Radar Charger Station GPS Dashcam Charger Cable for Select Ford Bronco, F150 and More with Auto-dimming Rearview Mirror : Electronics
And used only 1 USB port...which i was able to fold over and tape it on top of itself and tape the stacked harness to the lane keeping camera housing snug up behind the mirror.
Not great detail here
Have you considered a hitch extension piece to get out past the spare tire? I can barely use my 8' trailer because of the spare. I still may get an extension piece just to make it easier to connect. Mine is not a pintle hitch.Drove up to Chambersburg PA to pick up the trailer I bought at auction ($1k + $500 in fees and taxes
For the pintle hitch to work in a raised position I had to take off my spare.. fortunately had a trailer handy to haul it
I'll be swapping the hubs to something bronco compatible, then putting 35"s on an extra set of rims I've got and that'll help lower it all of an inch (it's currently on 37"s)... going to try and make some other changes to see if I can get it down another 5 inches or so. Longer term I'll probably need to try and extend the tongue a bit if I want to be able to open the tail gate all the way with the trailer attached.. might not need to though, not sure yet.. I could get it a little over half way open with the trailer angled like that.. so maybe once it's lowered it won't be as bad as I'm thinking.
I head to texas and new mexico in another 2-3 weeks.. if I can get the hubs swapped before then I'll take the trailer with me and throw some bars on it so that I can mount a roof top tent... if I can't get the hubs swapped I probably won't take it this trip.. not sure how long it's been sitting so the tires and hubs (I've heard of a lot of heat/bearing issues with the currently installed hubs) have me a little nervous about 4k-5k mile trip.
Longer term plans...... Another fun project
Good call... I should order one I guess. I did look for an extension.. but only when I was in tractorsupply picking up the hitch
(and they didn't have any). Would be more convenient. ... Although popping the tire off did show much just how much more rust was on the RTR tire mount (The powder coat on the RTR mount leaves a lot to be desired.. I'm going to have to sand and paint, i kinda just want to toss it and start over with something else.. but it was pricey)
aww I was looking at the rtr mount, hearing this is disappointing, which bits started to rust?Good call... I should order one I guess. I did look for an extension.. but only when I was in tractorsupply picking up the hitch
I wanted a way to install/remove the RTT on my own, without another pair of hands, which aren't always available. I thought of an engine hoist. I had to add on an extension to the arm (perforated square tubing) because the tent would rub against the arm the higher it went. The extension is still a little short so I'll need to modify that. I used a 2"x6" board and straps, RTT at about a 110lbs the board would bow a bit, but shouldn't break.
