I was thinking, how would reverse sensors work with a 6" lift. I hope they'd be able to sense just as well.

I have an 05 screw 4x4 leveled and my sensers pick up curbs. So I think you would be fine.

Where's the Camera?

They don't show a pic of the Camera. I'm wondering how you would mount it and just how big, shape, is it?

Good price though.....

I have the same setup but a sunroof and no sensors. Around here having something this nice is unheard of, I can already tell it brings a lot of negative attention.

IMO...you cant expect much for $71...not when that includes the camera and the monitor. My camera is an "el cheepo" and it cost around $100. I am sure it will work...but like I said just don't expect a lot.

I'm with RamSS/T on this one, I just am not sure of the quality. I bought an "ebay" 7" LCD monitor for my car a while back for about $150 and it was a brand I have never heard of but they said it had a great picture and blah blah.....well the picture absolutelly sucks and the contrast changes GREATLY when it is heated up and it is hard to see any dark images. My Kenwood screen eats that thing for lunch, so you kind of get what you pay for. Here is a pic of my reverse camera image from the $50 cameras on ebay, and where I mounted it. The picture looks ok here, but again, you get what you pay for and it could be a LOT better with a better camera. The black spot in the bottom right is just a dark shadow on the ground BTW.
