2.0 diesel trailhawk 2017

Just finished a couple of upgrades on my 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 2.0 Multijet (170 hp).
Swapped to 235/60R17 all-terrain tires
Added a roof rack

Now I’m looking at adding limb risers (the steel cables that run from the hood to the roof rack to deflect branches away from the windshield).

Has anyone here installed limb risers on a Renegade? I’m having a hard time finding options specifically for the Renegade. I’d prefer something that mounts cleanly without drilling if possible.

If you’ve got photos of your setup or recommendations for kits (or even DIY solutions), I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks!

BACKUP CAMERA

Hey guys,

My 2017 Jeep Renegade didn’t come with a backup camera from factory. In the spot where the camera should be, there’s just a plastic cover instead of the actual camera.

I was wondering — can I buy an original OEM backup camera, install it in that spot, run the wiring to the monitor, and just plug it in? Or is it more complicated than that?

The thing that confuses me is that my infotainment system doesn’t even show any backup camera options/settings anywhere in the menu. Does that mean the feature is disabled in software? Maybe it needs a firmware update, coding/programming, or a different head unit?

I’ll attach a picture of my monitor/system below.

Has anyone here done an OEM retrofit like this on a Renegade?

Thank you
