    No mud flaps, plasti dipped emblems, and rear bumper, Weather tech digital fit, Bed mat from tractor supply. Pioneer 4400BH head unit. B.A.M.F bed rail tie downs. AVS vent visors.
    x2. i don’t have either. but i would MUCH MUCH rather have a camera over those censers. #1 they annoy the hell out of me when someone is backing up. say a trailer or something(i know some you can turn off) also it’s telling you to spot 3 feet away. i can get inches away witch out anything with my DCSB. :D

    heck i backed up to our black ATV trailer in the pitch black dark back by our barn and got dead on. only light i had was the back up lights on the truck.

    That system won't been when backing up a trailer since the sonar mounts in the receiver.


    OP, personally i've got a Backstopper system. It's 4 sensors permenantly mounted into the rear bumper and works on the same principle, beeps to let you know how close you are to something. If someone bumps that thing, you just wasted a lot of money because I can't imagine it being able to take much of a hit.
