How To Reinstall Back Up Camera In 2013 Fj Cruiser

paflytyer

Once again Slee Offroad is pumping out new tricks and gadgets for us 100 Series owners. This Backup Camera Bracket is for those of us with OEM backup camera and a rear bumper with tire carrier. The tire blocks the photographic camera and one style to fix that was to relocate the camera over to the drivers side and drill new holes in your lift gate. I don't like that for a few reasons. one. Your camera is way off center and you do notwithstanding come across the tire a picayune. 2. You tin't really tell how shut your tire is to any your backing up to.

Slee and Joe Risavi to the rescue. Hither's how to remove your backup camera, rewire information technology and reinstall it on the mounting bracket. The bracket mounts to the spare tire carrier.

The camera mounts to the bracket via tabs provided in the kit and the screws that were belongings the camera in its original location.

Start, yous demand to remove the camera from your hatch. You could do it a couple means. Popular the license plate lights out and remove the screws holding the photographic camera to the hatch. Then try and get your fingers in there and release the tabs. Or Joe's recommended method, remove the screws from the camera and use a footstep drill and simply drill out the plastic tabs. Slee will near likely provide new ones in their kit

The camera will come right out. Pull it out as far as y'all can and clip the wires past the wire connector. Yous'll only get a few inches of wire past the connecter, just go equally much as you can.

Unplug the connector and mount the photographic camera to the bracket.

Now you demand to become to the photographic camera wires that feed up to your in-dash brandish. They are located in the rear quarter panel near your jack. First remove the flap that covers the gap between your cargo surface area and back hatch. It'south 5 or 6 screws. So remove the T that's used to secure your cargo internet. This T just twists and pulls out. There is a screw behind there that needs to be removed.

Now you lot tin can pull that console away enough to access the photographic camera wires.

The bundle you lot're looking for has 4 wires going into the connector. A Black, White, Red and a Bare wire covered in black tape. The whole packet is covered by a white/Dark-green wire cover a few inches up from the connector.

Unplug the connector and prune the wires leaving about half-dozen or vii inches to work with.

There is a black plastic oval plug that's down beneath those wires. If you go nether the truck it's easy to see. This needs to be popped out.

Apply a long screwdriver and simply pop information technology out and set information technology aside. It will fall out pretty like shooting fish in a barrel.

At present it'southward fourth dimension to solder some wires together. Using the connecter and 6-vii inches of wire you lot just clipped, solder everything together with the wire provided by Slee. The wire Slee provides is just 22ga dwelling security wire used for wiring homes/business. (Great find Joe)
This bundle has 5 wires in information technology. Blood-red, Black, White, Bare and Green. Yous're going to lucifer color to color with your clipped package and just disregard the green wire, information technology's not used.

Now that you've just extended that wire, accept the black oval piece you popped out before and drill a small pigsty in the centre enough for the security wire top pass through.

The next step tin exist done a few unlike ways. What I did was feed the security wire through the opening in the torso where I popped the black oval plug out. I pulled all the security wire through and fed it through the black oval plug. EDIT:This adjacent movie shows the wire feeding through the plug the Wrong way. Feed it through the waffle side of the oval.

And then I reinstalled the black plug into the body. I used a little silicone around the hole the security wire passed through just to seal that plug back upwards from water/mud in case I always get that deep. Y'all tin can plug that connector back together now. All you were doing was extending that part of the wire five or vi feet with the security wire.

Adjacent, I ran the security wire underneath the truck/bumper to the rider side and upwardly betwixt the bumper and the torso where your license plate light wire is run. (I promise that makes sense, Ill snap a pic tomorrow) Basiclly information technology'due south run to the swingout just similar the wire that provides power to the LED licence plate lights on the bumper. I besides null tied the security wire upward under the bumper to keep information technology out of the way.

Now you lot have to solder the security wire to the section of wire y'all clipped when yous first pulled the camera out of the hatch. You but have a few inches of wire to work with here, and so do information technology right the offset time. Lucifer color to color again disregarding the dark-green from the security wire. This time the Brown wire from the camera side connects to the Bare wire on the security side. I didn't have a picture of the 2 connecting, but this is the plug and few inches of wire I'1000 talking most.

Almost done....

Run that newly soldered plug along the swingout and up the heart of the backside of the tire carrier and plug it in to the camera/plug that you mounted on the bracket earlier.
Hop in your truck and put information technology in reverse and make sure you did everything right.

This is why I similar a backup camera..

The last thing you need to do is address the hole in your hatch left by the camera. I went downwardly to a plastics shop here in town and bought a business card sized piece of ABS plastic.

~~I'm 99% sure Slee will provide these with the kit when they're gear up to go~~. I had to reshape it just a footling with a Dremel and drill 2 holes where the original mounting screws would go.

~~Slee'due south kit volition have also provided you with two extra clips like the ones you destroyed earlier when y'all drilled them out.~~ Pop the new clips into the slots in the hatch, run a bead of silicone on the plastic slice and screw it into place. I ran another laissez passer of silicone effectually the edges one time it was mounted likewise. That will keep any moisture from getting in.

I know it's a little crooked, it bugs me too. I'll get back to it and straighten it out.

That's it, yous just relocated your backup photographic camera with Slee'south new Fill-in Camera Kit.

~~Christo said they are just putting these kits together for auction.~~ The kit will almost likely include:

Camera Bracket
a few feet of Wire
4 OE plastic tabs
any additional hardware needed

I'k non 100% sure on what pricing is going to be, but it's non much.

I really like the fact that I know EXACTLY where the edge of my tire is. The only negative I see will be when you're running a Trasharoo. All you're gonna see is the close up backside of a garbage bag. I'g playing with a few options on what to practice there.

Not bad idea. I've been looking to exercise the aforementioned affair for a while at present.

I would like to run across the mount exist fully enclosed on the screw side to deter theft. These cameras are quite pricey if you have to replace one.

I would like to come across the mount be fully enclosed on the screw side to deter theft. These cameras are quite pricey if you have to replace 1.

He might have a better idea. Although, information technology'southward pretty inconspicuous unless you know what you're looking at.

Great idea. I've been looking to do the aforementioned thing for a while now.
I would like to come across the mountain be fully enclosed on the screw side to deter theft. These cameras are quite pricey if you have to replace i.

That doesn't make any sense since you tin can as hands remove information technology from hither as the stock location? What am I missing, other than it is a little more visible in this location vs under the hatch.

If i is concerned about that, it would be better to go a security type fastner similar an allen head with a pin in the eye.

Just saw this very cool. Mine is attached to the tire swing arm a fleck lower and limits my overall view.

Withal, I run a wheel rack from time to time off the tire, gas can or Trash a roo.., And then I estimate I am out on this mod.

I've had a photographic camera on my hitch for 3 years fastened with double stick tape... no theft notwithstanding.

BTW that Toyota camera is quite generic... the camera itself could exist replaced for $xxx (minus the plastic bracket). Even the wiring for it is generic.

Nice that there is a bracket for the spare tire. As I shut in on a rear bumper purchase it'south one less thing I volition need to fab upward.

I've got to relocate my reverse cam and want to wire in an aux light that's reverse activated at the same time.

Anyone know if i of the wires for the opposite cam is the actual Rev+ light? If so I can tap both the camera and the light in here...

Andy,
I don't call up so, (99.v% sure) only it wouldn't be difficult to check. If y'all unplug the camera connector and put your truck in "R", the camera won't come on, but I think the opposite lights notwithstanding will. You could easily tap into the reverse lights at the aforementioned fourth dimension as you relocate the camera/wiring. That bundle is in the same area.

Information technology tapped into the reverse wire in the rear calorie-free housing. I used it to trigger a relay for my brilliant LED cube from Nick. I was ran a switch to the front that also triggers the relay so I tin use the lite for camping.

ntsaint

Crawly guys, thanks for the quick feedback.

ntsaint

Trying to pull the backup camera. Tin can non get the tabs on the back of the camera bracket to release. I'd rather get them out correctly than drill them. Any fox??

ntsaint

Nevermind. I went alee and drilled it.

And this is a lot longer chore when you lot have a drawer system bolted in that has to exist unbolted commencement!

paflytyer

Nevermind. I went ahead and drilled it.
And this is a lot longer task when you take a drawer system bolted in that has to be unbolted first!

Much easier to just drill the plastic tabs. Toyota sells them for less than $ane.00 I recall.

ntsaint

Done. First-class write up man.

paflytyer

Overnice! I dipped my bracket too.... information technology didn't looked right with the wheels and stood out besides much. Stealth Mode canonical now.

I bet those drawers added an hour or two to this install.

ntsaint

Nice! I dipped my bracket too.... it didn't looked right with the wheels and stood out too much. Stealth Manner approved now. I bet those drawers added an hour or 2 to this install.

Yeah I painted it yesterday and then it would exist good and dry before install today. Had to be black! Could've done this in an 60 minutes to an 60 minutes and a half without the drawers. Those and a trip to the hardware shop made it iv hours. Still cracking though. 60 and sunny today. Good day to be out.

Can anyone please put a motion picture of the OEM rear photographic camera setup? Showing the rear with the spare carrier.

paflytyer

Can you explain what are yous trying to run across? I may accept a film. The photographic camera is located under the hatch. In one case the bumper with tire carrier is installed, it blocks the cameras view. Or, are you asking for the wait later on the photographic camera has been relocated?

lc98v8

Can you lot explain what are you trying to see? I may accept a motion-picture show. The camera is located under the hatch. Once the bumper with tire carrier is installed, it blocks the cameras view. Or, are you asking for the expect after the camera has been relocated?

Sorry, I thought the photographic camera is coming stock with stock spare carrier, because I have the spare tire carrier, this is what I did but I'one thousand looking for a improve option. Also, can you please direct me to the slee photographic camera setup parts. Thanks!
