Kevin, I do get it at the axel/diff this won't add clearance, but don't you increase break-over clearance, which almost makes more benefit for the Gladiator than any other Jeep. I'm not rock-crawling, again, but when going over rockier terrain I am a little more concerned about break-over on...

Thanks. Either digital or analog, the signal should be something that can be interrupted with a switch that has A/B settings, but as you state that there is a digital processor before that. Either way, it may be easiest and safest to do this switch on the analog wiring side. That tends to...

I can appreciate that. I don't have a daily drive at all, but I do consider longevity and potential resale (if that ever becomes necessary or desired). If I didn't care about rusting through and didn't care about ever getting any money back if circumstances change, I would probably be with...

My Gladiator Willys should show up in the next week. I've already been ordering everything under the sun to make it the way I want. The last Jeep I owned was a Scrambler back in the 90's. I know a lot has changed, but I don't know what all has been tested and approved by the "community". I...

The concept is right, but that pretty clearly says that it is for the 8.4" Uconnect. If you have the 8.4", you have more video inputs....front, bed, rear. The 7" ONLY have rear...to my knowledge and research. Don't know what the resolution, cable connectors, any other differences might be...

Yeah, that is what I thought I saw, but will test once my Willys arrives...hopefully next week. Then I can confirm connectors, space, wiring, etc....

Do you have a Tazer? I read in the Tazer settings that I can enable to the rear camera while turn signals are on as a standard settings feature. I haven't bought anything yet, but will be exploring all the options. I will also see what Tazer makes available as a mod for the settings on the...

Yes, yes and Yes. I'm looking at just a simple physical button that would only switch between the actual existing rear camera to then show the PI and back again. Just switching a single wire or perhaps two. Need my Willys to be delivered to actually open things up and look and test. In the...

Not positive. Another person just posted that it is a standard video...but don't know if that is standard digital or analog. Either way, i can first test the camera with the PI to determine which input works and then know what signal to output from the PI

I have the Tazer JL coming to work on the setting of things. I know that there is a default setting that allows it to automatically turn on when turning (I think)....or something like that. I will explore those settings.

It could be that my initial proposal is not explained well. The only thing I plan to do to touch the default configuration on my 7" Uconnect unit is to interrupt the signal from the rear camera, and put in a different analog signal from a PI (which could be set to match). The PI would also be...

Not overly concerned about damaging the head unit as the only thing I will be doing is interrupting the analog video input. Seems to be a fairly low risk. If I blow it up (which should be highly unlikely in a ruggedized device), I then buy another unit. That is the absolutely worst-case...

Well, there's the catch. The 7 doesn't have a front-facing camera input. Unless everything I read is wrong....only the 8.4 has a second input for front camera. That is why I hope to use a second rear-camera but face it forward, flip the image using software and have the added benefit of a...

Thanks for input so far. I think this could be really nice to have and will try. My Willys is another week away from delivery, so I can't start yet, but plan to soon. Preordering a ton of stuff. I have a lot of versions of the PI's. I tend to get one each time a new version comes out. I...

I have an idea to add a Raspberry PI and a switch to go between the backup camera and the PI on the 7" Uconnect display. I would like to assume that the camera used on the 7" uses a somewhat standard signal. The display appears to be a 1080P resolution. If I found the connectors on Digikey...

So have you been able to install the step and have everything working? I haven't seen this anywhere on the listing for the power step where I bought it from and am about to install on a diesel JT. If I need something special from AMP, I would like to get that before I have the same problem.

Thanks for the tip on the oil change. That is kinda good advice for almost any engine. I'm sticking with diesel to have one fuel for everything. I will tow but I don't commute. I would assume that it is similar to my 7.5K diesel generator and my motorhome that should be run every month as a...

Thanks, TJDave, that is the kind of testimonial experience that is very helpful. I'll look up those other parts (unless you have links easily shareable). Rather than trying to mix and match parts myself, I would prefer to get the pieces that others have already gotten and can attest will work...

Thanks. It may be that I just need a "leveling kit". Too bad they don't actually call it that and instead make it sound like a complete "lift kit" when it is only lifting the front. With mine coming with the 400 extra pound ecoDiesel and installing a bumper with winch, it could be the right...

Thanks for the input. I did read somewhere that anything under 3" in a lift on the Gladiator did not require any other significant modifications...like brake lines. I was looking at this from Rough Country as an example...
