Back up camera setup

I figured i'd start a new thread instead jacking someone elses. At one time I was looking at the backup camera setups on the '08 trucks. To go that route would be a bit pricey from what I have seen. So I found these items and would like to get some opinions on them. FLUSH MOUNT COLOR REAR VIEW BACKUP CAMERA CCD CAMERAS:eBay Motors (item 270291430692 end time Jun-19-09 16:32:43 PDT)

Thoughts?

My camera is almost exactly like that, but it wasn't anywhere near that much. I think I paid like $40 for the camera and around $30 for a 24 ft. rca cable from Radio Shack.

This is the camera I got.....http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...n+VTK-350.html

How do you have yours mounted? How long have you had it? I was looking at that one because I have an idea for a flush mount.....

I figure since my tailgate doesnt have the lock I could put it where the lock would be. It'll be a while before I get around to this one though. Right now I'm trying to decide what to do about wheels and tires. I've been in this battle for a right good while and I aint gaining any ground with it.

Sorry it's been so long to get back to you, I was at the lake all weekend. I have mine flush mounted in the bumper, just to the right of the license plate. I have had it for 3 or 4 months now, I can't remember exactly when I installed it. I have just now started using it quite a bit for hooking up to my boat trailer.
