Here are the cameras I am using: http://amzn.to/2wU6U3j

CPO Tip: Rubber Bushing Install - JKS Rear Track Bar - Project 2004 Jeep TJ Wrangler
This is such an embarrassingly simple tip... it had to be published. It's the little things like this that sometimes cause us to scratch our heads - especially when it's your first time doing a task. I hope this helps someone who might be stuck - even momentarily - on getting their new rubber bushings to push all the way into their track bar!
Modifying TJ Trackbar Bracket for More Flex - Project 2004 Jeep Wrangler
I noticed this in the installation cheat sheet that Dirk sent me along with the Ultimate TJ/LJ Lift Kit:
Rear Factory Trackbar Axle Mount Bracket
You may want to modify the factory trackbar axle mount bracket to allow for unrestricted suspension travel- ESPECIALLY if running the Long Travel rear shocks. Call for more info on this!!!
So, naturally, I called him. This video covers what we discussed. I think it's a great idea!

DIY Magnet Mount Trail Camera (DVR or Reverse Rear Camera Too!)
This is a simple way to mount cameras. It is easily done and allows for the cameras to be securely placed, yet movable.
Here are the cameras I am using: http://amzn.to/2wU6U3j
For the magnets, I thought I got them from Amazon, but I guess I didn't. Here are the exact ones I have from Ace Hardware: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3633664
The specifications aren't critical. I just liked the 3/4" size. Anthing will work. Get Neodymium tho.
