Now, where did I attach it to the rear?  I bought a small aluminum angle metal (like angle iron as we know it) and placed and attached it to the upper license plate screws and attached the camera to the angle strip and it is out of the way of the tailgate.  Hope the highlights of my install are helpful to you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
