Okay, I have the official report. My front differential essploded. The tech told me the earlier model H2's have a small issue with the front diff and that the new one will be much better. I'm feeling a little better today after hearing that, and I didn't mess up the axel or any other parts either. WHEW!  I have a much better idea how the front end is put together now.
co-pilot: thanks for the flowers! Frank and Drty should be ashamed for blasting my little delivery mouse!

Hi,
I'm a guest here, and I don't own an H2, but I will say that it's a nice setup. I'm a cruiserhead, I have a 1983 Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser retrofitted to be a HZJ60 (12HT Turbo Diesel with H55f Trans).
I'm interested in your camera setup on front and rear. Is that a Stock H2 acoutrement, or aftermarket? If aftermarket, is it possible to record the views at all?
I'm most interested in recording other traffic. My wife and I were recently rear-ended on the freeway by a trucker. What's worse is that he did it on purpose (he mistook us for another lookalike car that had been harrassing him) and he is now denying it. So I'm now out like $1000 for a Volvo rear bumper cover. I only wish the wife had been using the camcorder so the insurance company could see that he clearly hit us on purpose. As it is, he denies hitting us at all.....
As I said, nice rig, and anytime any of you are in Wisconsin and are up for some wheeling, let me know. I'm not here to bash anyone's rig (I dont' have to bash anyone else's rig to feel good about my own) and I enjoy off-roading with anyone who is up to it. After all, we may drive different vehicles, but us off-roaders have to stick together, or we will hang seperately when Sierra club suceeds in closing all public lands to us all.
Thanks,
Fred

Fred,
If you're looking to record with these cams, they have an RCA video(Yellow)cord where you can just plug into a portable VCR. No audio. You'd have to do a setup like Ken's.
Welcome and sorry to hear aboot the accident.

With that type of set up, I can multiply my input channels on my NAV monitor
Channel 1 - NAV
Channel 2 - DVD1, DVD2, T.V.
Channel 3 - Front Cam, Rear Cam
........EH!

Oh. it really wasn't anything. Like i said the trucker was upset over soemthing a car did that looked just like ours, and he went for a little "highway vigilante" action and got the wrong car.
He tapped us at around 10 MPH and just cracked the platic bumper cover on the car. I pulled over, he didn't. I chased him thru about 3 counties before the police finally caught him. The accident happened in Iowa, so:
A) it's not considered an accident since the damage was estimated to be less than $1000 (the cop clearly had never purchased anything at a Volvo Dealer before)
B) Since it wasn't a reportable accident, (and he denied ever hitting us at all) the guy couldn't be charged with leaving the scene of an accident.
So, the only thing I got out of it was a cracked bumper cover, and lots of bad feelings towards truckers.
I'd like to think that in Wisconsin, he'd have been taken to jail... and that he wouldn't have driven halfway across the state before the State Troopers managed to intercept him.

DRTYFN would be the best guy to ask. He's the brainchild behind it all. I am so happy I waited for it.
Hey mud weiner! Can you give us a spiel?

You must speak to the Deity.
DRTYFN be thy name.
You'll love the setup.
