Its plugged in on my truck. I've used it a couple times, but now its blocked and I don't miss it.

I was sincerely asking. I get the parking usage but don't see the offroad usefulness once you learn your truck.
I only use it in parking lots, every once in a while. Off-road, if you think you're gonna drag, put your front tire on the biggest rock you have to go over and go on about your business. Camera is useless unless your a trail tampon.

serious question: y'all actually use the front camera?
The Front Camera for me,IMHO, was one of my most liked improvements from my 2-2010 Gen-1’s. That’s why I am concerned about the BD linkables or any light bar I’m going to put on. I’ve been in Vegas 30* yrs and obviously do a lot of Desert/Rock running. In pano view it gives you 2-lines that are pretty close to your wheel placement which can be critical to avoid high centering or dropping the A-Arm down on a Boulder. When I had a difficult line I was trying to take I used to have to get out and verify tire placement, I rarely have to now.
I’m still looking for a bar that doesn’t obstruct it to much. The bar saved my azzz from airbag deployment when I hit a cactus and tree in the Grand Canyon.(See the Raptor Assault Thred for more details lol)

I have used it a couple of times off road when I am on a new trail that I do not know, and come up a hill with a huge break over and I don't know what is on the other side or which way the trail goes. There are some trails out west that come up a "hill" and then immediately turn right/left and if you go straight you will die.

View attachment 164651 View attachment 164652 I just bought the cheapest truxedo cover and tried to learn how to sew. It keeps most of the dust and eyes out.View attachment 164653 I ran around the area for awhile and tried the hill about 10 times getting a little further each time but I only ended up half way before scaring the shit out of myself. You have to give it full throttle to make it up and as soon as you turn in and head down you have a ton of speed that you have to ride out. It was wild. I hope to get back to the area again. I’m not sure if I was supposed to be in there. It says it’s for OHV and dirt bikes but it was empty when we were there.

absolute...****.
