I can now look out the back...

Don't know about you guys, but when I looked around for a second hand L200, I noticed that a lot of them have a seriously dented tailgate. Since owning one I understand why, you can't see bugger all.
So, today I decided to install a reversing camera (Maplin, £65).
Fit camera just above number plate:
Attach powerlead to reverse light, feed through little hole behind light cluster, route to behind number plate and plug into transmitter. Plug camera lead into transmitter.

Now fit screen in cab. There is a suction cup that comes with it, but I don't like all these things on my windscreen. So, I jammed a bit of wood/batten in the cubyhole underneath the ashtray, screwed a screw into it with a proper sized head and hooked the screen onto it. Just need to hard wire the power lead for the screen, so it's nice and tidy.

I was thinking about reverse parking sensors but I reckon I like this more as it's less bumper drilling.

Nice. How much was the kit?
Mine came with factory-fitted reversing sensors and they are absolutely brilliant. You definitely need something on a motor of this size.

My Dad has reversing sensors retro fitted to his classic. He still managed to reverse into my truck and dented his tail gate against my bull bar. My truck was fine!

It looks like he only ever sells one at a time, but lists a new one every time he sells one.
I got mine for £30 +p+p, the next one sold for £34 +p&p. So, don't pay more than that, another one will come along

That looks pretty good for £30. May get one to keep my parking sensors company
