Thanks for the pic and idea, I think it defeats the purpose of having a back-up camera though when 50% of the view is blocked. Hitch and tire is blocking to much of your view. I was thinking of installing it under the license plate, hidden inside the bottom of holder on the spare tire carrier. If i drill a hole in it I might be able to get the lens flush with it. I was also thinking of installing it up near the third brake light also until it dawned on me that the bed and tonneau cover would be blocking the view of me slamming into someones grill when backing into a parking space or hitting a wall when backing up.
