what are you guys using for a digital rear view "mirror"/monitor?

I'm looking for one for mine but haven't found one I quite like yet - I want a rear-view mirror proxy and don't want a split-screen/parking lines to be constantly on.
I put this on about a year ago and it has been working just fine.

RV Backup Camera HD 1080P 7'' LCD Monitor System Infrared Night Vision Waterproof Metal Rear View Cam Adapter

I kind of like the guidelines so I left them on. I believe you can easily disable them by cutting a wire. I mounted the camera under the receiver hitch. And I mounted the display on the top center of the windshield. I have a helmet top.

There are now bigger units, but like you, I did not want to have deal with a split screen.

I have another, larger, split screen and a side cameras for additional blind spot mitigation.

I just went with one off of amazon, https://a.co/d/d85Cn3m. I wanted a unit that had the rearview camera and CarPlay so I can use the phones navigation if need be. The CarPlay linked to the phone works flawlessly so far but I haven’t yet had time to install the rearview camera yet. Spring time farm chores are priority right now.

Installed a new soft top with now quarters given flag from William Welsh (blue ox) his work, as usual is outstanding. He will be re-stitching my previous top and does not want to charge me, even though i explain to him i beat the hell of my truck and use it everyday.

Bill does great work. If you ever want a soft slant back to match I use the same material from the same vendor.

Popped the little hole plugs into underside of the hood, finishing up that project.

Installed what I consider the absolute coolest strap on the entire truck. When you're on a multi hour convoy, you can kill time by counting the number of times it sways back and forth-

Rebuilt the pintle, which didn't swivel and was missing the lock pin and chain. Yes, I know the chain and pin I used isn't AMG, but I had them kicking around and they worked. BTW- there's a grease zerk on this thing. Mine hadn't been used since the truck was built-

Swapped the front shackles to the rear in order to clean up the front mounts, then reinstall the NOS shackles I got from Austin-

My boy keeps having issues with the VIC headsets (both Bose and Racal) staying on his head (he's 9), so I picked up some cheap headset pads to see if it works. Anyone ever seen a smaller size headset adapted to the VIC?

He's also been begging for a cupholder. These were the most heavy duty I could find in the style I wanted. 3/16 powdercoated steel. Not sure on mounting yet-

This truck came with the driver seat out of a ECV for whatever reason. It's a bit too tall for me. Will someone with an A0,A1,A2 measure their seat mount to see how it differs from the energy absorbing one?
