I wasn't concerned with theft. I'm more concerned that someone may want to pour something down the DEF or Fuel openings.
I'd like to think people aren't out to mess with peoples cars/trucks. But in the end, locking caps and locking doors help keep people honest.
I'll pass on the added key on my ring.. i have enough lol
I keep one in the center console, the other 3 are elsewhere if need be.
PITA to use them on a keyring or biner with other stuff so it's flying solo.

I put these same caps on my 2021. I did not do it for theft protection, but simply to make me or anyone else focus on which tank is being filled. No cross contamination of the tanks! I've never filled both tanks during a single stop, which lessons the chance for that, but a little extra insurance doesn't hurt.

What brand camera is this and can you detail where/how you connect it? Can it be hardwired?

The camera is a Thinkware Q800 Pro. I bought it here
I wired it with an OBDII plug-n-play harness. I bought that here
Wire to the camera is shoved up into the headliner above the windshield. There is a lip in there that holds the wire nicely. Took the grab handle off and ran the wire down to the OBD port as shown in another picture I already posted. Plugged it in and voila... it works lol. Parking mode works as well.

Just curious why it has to go to OBDII vs a 12VDC tap

This way I'm not tapping anything or splicing wires. Easy to remove and still have access to the port.

It does solve the problem as to who is at fault. LOL

Especially when you live in a state that likes to play the percentages game. Dashcams have saved me twice now from insurance companies trying to shift some of the blame.

I keep mine in the foam bottle holder in the driver door pouch. Seems there is a small hole which is a perfect fit.
Any issues removing the grab handle (A-pillar)?

Nope very easy. Pry the two caps open and remove the two bolts.
Do you have to reopen it then close it again for the bowing to go away? Did it bow lengthwise or side to side? Also, I've heard mixed reviews about being able to open the Ramboxes with the cover rolled up, have you noticed that to be an issue as well? My 04 has a hard tonneau cover that I have a love hate relationship with but it was on the truck when I bought it. I want a cover on my 22 if it ever shows as I like the ability to hide what's under it but I cannot bring myself to go with another hard cover again

$4.17 a gallon in Monroe Wa.
It popped up when I closed the box. It is like the seal they provided is too thick for the space there. When you close the box it prys against the seal and forced the rail up, I have a feeling it bent the middle mounting bracket some it will not go back down. Not sure if I am going to worry about it too much it moved maybe 1/8 of an inch in the middle.
