Upgraded my 35" spare to 37"MT/R (thanks partsguy!  ). But now HALF of my backup camera is covered by the tire!! I can't relocate the camera cause it's gonna leave a big hole in my bumper!  Worse, if I use the soft tire cover, it covers 3/4 of the camera!!

Why dint you leave the current camera inplace but disconnect it then re ount a new on. It will look trick, but also serve the purpose of filling the hole.

Churchill, thanks for the real sugestion (the rest of yous can KISS MY ASS! ), 'cept I can't figure out where else to drill. It's center and as low as possible already (see pic).. Btw, that's the 35" MTR. The 37" sits lower still...  |

Is it really blocking you from seeing or do just not like seeing the tire.
You could fashion a piece of sheet metal that would bolt (with a large bolt and washer) in the current hole and let the metal come down to the top of the hitch and mount the camera in that sheet metal.

Buy a spare tire mount extension. Then cut it in half and weld in a plate that will raise your spare about two inches. Any machine shop or better garage should be able to do it in short order. Had to do the same thing with an old jeep I had so that I could use the hitch. Hope it helps.

Fubar, mine was originally installed in the hitch location, but it seemed that I test the departure angle quite a bit. At one offroad event, I dragged the hitch over a (BIG) rock, and the hitch cam mount was destroyed..
Kdio, I'll consider your suggestion!  |

Sadly the marker light cam's are not worth a **** especially with an over size tire. With the stock tire on the carrier all you see is the back and top of the tire then out to infinity. It would be worse with a 37inch tire in place. No amount of adjustment of the marker light cam will allow you to see what is below the tire i.e the hitch if you're backing up a trailer or a childs bike parked just behind the tire. It's useless in my opinion.
H2Finally have you considered a hitch cam? It doesn't solve your problem of the hole in your bummper if you remeove the cam that is there unless you leave the cam where it is and simply unhook it or run both video feeds to your display and switch them to whichever view you want to see. I'm not sure how exactly that could be done but I'm certain that it is possible. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Simple video switcher from radio shack

I would get a new bumper because the hole that's there is off-center. |

Screeper, I googled spare tire extentions. While I like the 2" rise, not sure about the 2" back.
edit: Wont work! Damn! The SMA carrier has that "pipe" middle section (where you can attach a padlock)...

No, the question is where can I put the new hole/camera? Below the current hole, the bumper "bend" inwards. Anywhere off-center, I think I'll have a vertigo-inducing image due to the 110degrees field of vision..

You know, some people only have one usable eye and they get along pretty well! Atleast you have a partial camera! We have to get out of the f**kn thing and spot each other!
