I am pretty sure I need one. Backed into a 3ft tall yellow post in a parking lot the other day, my truck is tall enough I couldn't see a prius if the was one there. Sorry convienience store. The Ranchhand bumper broke the 6x6 post off at the ground. But it did leave some yellow paint on the bumper.HaHa.
Maybe post should have been 6ft.
Really, how much would you say I could get into the whole system?

I mounted in the space between the bumper and the tailgate, I was going to mount it in the middle of the license plate, drill a hole and fab up a bracket behind the plate, but i couldnt get the angle I wanted...

How much? check out e-bay, that is where i have bought almost all of my audio eq. I paid about $250 for the head unit, lots of different brands out there but I got this one: item # 110327121283 on E-bay, Buy it now for $150.00 hell of a deal i think.... Jensen VM9312 then another $30-$40 for a camera you are set!

I found this setup on HF's website. Includes the monitor also.

Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

This would be cheaper, but not as slick as using a stereo head unit.

I'm blessed. Among her many great virtues, my wife REALLY knows how to give signals when hitching up. She's been doing it for over 30 years.

Now, that camera would sure be handy when she isn't around!
