well i got bored one day, and i took my old mitsubish monteros prop rod holder, 10 mil bolt,nissan altima valve cover washer, and nut an bolt and a large washer and made the "jeep cam" as i like to call it, im sure theres equipment for that, but this was free....

i also made a sample vid. ill upload sometime

you can see where it clamps to my 91 YJ's winsheild rest.

and where i bolted it to the camera, where the tripod noremally screws in

all i needed was a 9/16 wrench to install it on my jeep

and it doesnt look half bad

 

Nice! I should make Audicam. Did a little wheeling myself last night but the Quattro got high-centered. Sport package = no ground clearance.

 

nice DIY we should get this posted in the DIY section.
Also did some wheeling in the Audi 6-8" of snow i never realised how good it could plow snow until this passed weekend.

 

Hah nice YJ! I've got a lifted ZJ for off-pavement duty myself...4.5" Rubicon Express on 32" BFGs


That camera's going to take a beating, but if it's a beater camera, who cares?

 

you can soften/bend plexiglass with one of those hair dryer lookin paint strippers. next DIY needs to be a stone/splash guard to fit around the camera. i need to do the same for my camera... just haven't got to it

 

^i need to get me some plexiglass for that. but for now, i use a plastic bag and rubber bands, works ok. plus all the mud trails are flooded by the iver. so theres no mudding for me, just wood trecking and crawlin.

BTW I LOVE that ZJ, where you get your tires? i need some, highway tires SUCK, especially for an AMC 2.5l 4 cyl

 

Here's my old Jeep. Had to sell it when I moved to VT. Not that I ran it much anyway, but it was fun to play with in the field behind the house.


And here's the way overpriced suction cup camera mount I stupidly bought back in the day.

 

well this hood camera clamp cost me 0$ and i trust it more than a damn suction cup lol

id love to have that sort of jeep, its so bad *** looking

 

i'd rather have the free camera mount too. suction cups can let go without warning, hence, the tether. Doesn't mean your camera doesn't get banged around. I usually use it inside the car, stuck to the glass.

I miss that Jeep, people respected that Jeep, or rather, feared it. People always gave a pretty wide berth around me on the road, and if someone was going too slow, and i got on their bumper (cars usually only saw my grille/license plate), they'd pull right over and let me past.

That green paint was put on with a brush.
