    Hello All,
    My camera bracket fell into about 20 pieces a couple months ago. I looked around and could not find a replacement. All I found was that I had to buy another camera to get the mount. I JB welded the pieces back together and that lasted for a little while. Now I am back to where I started. I still can't find just the mount, but I did find someone who could 3d print one for me. Does anyone know where to find an *.stl file for this or where I can buy another bracket.
    Thanks.

    Had the same issue. Homejob repaired it as well and now it’s broken again.

    Toyota only sells the entire camera and bracket as a single unit. $700.

    Nope. I’ll be repairing mine again. So dumb.

    @Roman

    Any possibility of obtaining just the plastic bracket?

    I never did. I ordered an aftermarket replacement off Amazon. Works almost as well as the original

    Thanks! The one on Amazon for the “2014-2015 Tacoma” looks more like the one I’ve been repairing for the last 18 months. Good to know there’s a $200 option instead of $700. I finally used some Gorilla glue 2 part epoxy and that’s seemed to solve it.

    I purchased the metal bracket for the tacoma and tried it. I could never get it bent to fit correctly. It is the wrong orientation. Let me know if you get it to work.

    Thanks, @ljburns. I ended up ordering OEM from a dealer. TIP: shop around through dealers on the toyota parts website. My local dealer wanted over $800 for the camera, I got it for about $400 less looking at other dealers around the country.

    Based off of the reviews I saw for aftermarket and the prices for aftermarket it wasn't that much more and I'm happy(er).

    All,

    I had the same exact problem and wasn't about to pay those costs. I took it over to my machinist friend and he made one out of aircraft aluminum. Let me know if you're interest. ToyotaTundraYooper@gmail.com

    +1 interested in the aluminum one. Mine isn't broken, but it looks like the OEM one is made like shit ... so might as well grab one now and be sure i don't have the problem later
