2007 camry is rated at 1000lb trailer, which puts your allowed tongue weight (cargo carrier weight capacity) at 10% (100lbs). You need something like this to adapt to a 2" receiver carrier, but this will further push the weight out, cutting that 100lb rating in half, and make it even more precarious.

So I'd go a really different route. I would grab something like this. Then I would add 12v panel lights to it like these and wire them so they go on with the trailer lights. Label them to indicate their function. Then screw it down to the tongue with Tek screws anywhere that made sense, and put the tracker inside. It would look like a totally legit part of the trailer and arouse absolutely no suspicion at all, plus if you positioned it right you could see it in a backup camera to quickly check that the trailer lights are connected properly.

It's rechargeable, here's the link to the one I bought insert link here

I'm probably going to pick up a green one next when I find spare cash laying around or get a nice tip

So I’ll wrap the D-ring axle on here and get a V-Bridal to hook on both d-rings on both the control arms? Does it matter if I get the big J hook or small mini hooks? Thinking of getting rtj cluster(mini) or j hooks this

Also something like this.

Sure it won't stop a determined thief but the extra seconds/minutes fucking about with it on camera can buy you some time.

Depending on what kind of work your company does, I'd suggest watching how other operators do things. If you see someone doing something and you can't understand why, just ask. I had new drivers ask why or how I did X or Y and I was always happy to show them. Maybe 20% of the stuff I learned from my boss, the rest I learned from watching other people do things.

One thing to always remember: your load is your responsibility. It's your responsibility to hook up safely and properly. If someone wants to show you how to do it, insist on doing it yourself (after they have shown you how to do it) because if you hooked it up it's your problem. They don't have to tow that load down the road or deal with it if it falls off, you do.

I'm a big fan of cheaper flashlights that take 18650 batteries. They are compact, cheap, and the batteries are cheaper to replace when they eventually go bad. They can be had locally same day at most vape shops too, so keep that in mind. I have this exact headlamp and the original battery still works. The batter itself has a very sketchy micro USB charging port on it but it does work even if you charge it with a regular charger for 18650's. I also have two A1S flashlights from the same maker but those came without batteries at the time. They still work flawlessly.

Get good boots but don't spend a fortune on them. I get a year out of a pair of boots. I set a $150 price limit because i got the same life out of a $300 pair as I would with a $150 pair. Get one with a hard toe, steel or composite. The only boots I got any good life out of were some 10" Matterhorn with a metatarsal guard and they were nearly $300. Mets are overkill but so are podiatrists.

You are on the right track, but you need an automatic isolator to keep the batteries separate when the truck is not running. Something like this, there are a lot of them out there. https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-7650-Battery/dp/B000RZNP5K/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=dual+battery+isolator+kit&qid=1606539156&sprefix=dual+batt&sr=8-11

Any help is appreciated.

Psj -2212 by DSR/Schumacher. Best box I've ever used. They make bigger ones, but this is the one I could afford. $250 ish in Canadian pesos. I beat it to shit, killed the agm battery in a couple times, still starts most anything like new. The case is heavy duty. The cables are heavy duty, but flexible as shit. this is the one I have, and they also rebrand it as a snap-on booster for 3x the price. Can't speak for the quality of the newer version, but maybe you can track down one of these older ones for cheap.

This for the roof. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EET2OE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This for the hood of the car. I popped my hood and then just used 2 existing bolts so they hang out of the hood a little. This is for the rope coming off the front of your kayak. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024ALDMS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is how I get my kayak around on my 2 door civic. Those foam blocks are set up for a v bottom kayak, but I have a flat bottom. It works but it cuts it close. If you have a flat bottom kayak get foam blocks designed for a flat bottom kayak. For the back strap I use a tie strap from the back handle at the tip of the kayak straight down under my bumper to my cars tow hook.

this was the most popular on amazon, what are your thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/Eaz-Lift-48058-Elite-Weight-Distributing/dp/B005SB6S3Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428673557&sr=8-1&keywords=weight+distributing+hitch

You could do that, or you could buy a dedicated system for less than 1/2 the price of the cheapest GoPro.

I have a GoPro, it's great, rugged, it is very versatile. It's just not a good dash cam. Not even close.
