Installed an Acumen rearview mirror dash cam this morning. It was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. Took me about 1.5hrs, clean install… all wires tucked in the headliner, tapped the fusebox under the glovebox. I’ll post a write up later. Chose this one over the Wolfbox because I didn’t want to look at the plugs. Also now that the rear cam wire was run, I was able to finish installing my rear molle panels.

That's nice and clean. I've been holding off on the Wolfbox because it gets in the way of the sun visor. I'll have to research Acumen!

Had this same one for like 15 years and it still saves my butt.
Same here; bought the V1 when it was first released & never looked back. Who else not only gives you free upgrades, but also — when they released the new version — gave existing owners a substantial trade-in credit? Customer for life!

After finishing the rearview mirror dashcam I was able to get the rest of the molle panel system in. The shelf is awesome for getting more space in the back. The Bambeds platform went in a couple weeks ago. Even though it has the new hex ply finish, things still slide around a little and I'm worried about my stuff scratching it up, so I’m using a garage oil leak mat to help with that.

V1 is my back seater! Saves me all the time going for going on 35 years of upgrades & replacements. Just hardwired it in our LC.

this is just the bambed base platform right? I asked them about the full bed for the gx and they told me they have no plans to make one.. Do you plan on using this for a bed or just extra storage room?

It goes up to the 2nd row seats and when you fold them down (not tumbled forward) it levels the floor so you can lay a mattress over it. I do plan to use it for car camping. I was hoping they would make a half platform for one side but after setting this up, I like it the way it is with storage underneath.
 
Mine is mounted as high as I could place it, just to the left of the mirror housing bump. Seems to work perfectly in that location. Can you elaborate on "interference" -- do you mean false alarms from the V1 or reduced sensitivity?

Yeah getting alerts nonstop. It’s fine where I have it, but just wondering.
 
Just completed 5 days on The Lost Coast

Just got home from an extended trip through 9 states with several days spent in the Montana back country. Saw a total of one GX(incognito) on the trip, although my wife did talk to someone in Cody, WY who said they had one at home. Maybe 5 or 6 LC250s.

Immediately as soon as I am back home in city limits get behind a GX fully decked out in every "Overlanding" piece of equipment you can bolt on. Just had to chuckle a bit.

Loving the GX, and even better so does my wife.
