On my Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter, the OPENROAD bed cap left the digital mirror looking at the cap, the bed camera looking at powder-coated steel, the cap third brake light disconnected, and the cap lighting still needing power. In this video I show the problem and the finished solution. I use GG OFFROAD camera relocation harnesses and its inline Brake Light Wiring Tap, a second OEM Toyota camera assembly, and a removable Deutsch-style cap connection so I can restore the camera views and integrate the cap electronics without cutting or tapping into the factory brake-light wiring. I also add a weather-resistant Deutsch-style quick disconnect for the cap’s brake-light, cargo-light/dome-light, and ground circuits so the cap can be disconnected without cutting wiring.
