I ran the connector end through the snakeskin (that's what we call it in the A/V world) that goes between the tailgate and the main body of the Jeep. Near the connector end is a "T" that has the wireless transmitter on a short section of wire. The other longer wire has bare wires at one end for attaching to the backup light, and the connector for the camera wire at the other end. The camera cable is very short so it did not go completely to the edge of the tailgate. After that, I zip-tied the camera cable to the existing wiring. I pulled the small panel from the back of the tailgate and ran the wire through the things that look like vents in the back of the hatch. I bolted the little camera bracket to this one. I painted it black, and drilled two screw holes in the mount. I used a small Stanley 90-degree bracket from Lowes to mount the camera.
