Reverse Sensor

Has anyone installed a reverse sensor on their truck? If so which one and how do you like it? I am not interested in putting a reverse camera on because I dont want to spend that much. My f-150 is a work truck and I dont need it to bling. Any help would be great

Got mine off of e-bay for $58 shipped from Hong Kong and installed it about 9 months ago and it works great.

Any pictures?

I still haven't found a very clean set-up.

No pics, txf150 looks the same as mine. I need to take pics of my truck. The $58 also included the hole saw to drill in the bumper. Easy set up.

I think I'm going to go with the Roestra Obstacle Sensing System. I looked up reviews in consumer reports and they did well. Its a microwave sensing system that works in any weather condition, which is great cause I live in Michigan and it snows a lot. Plus it installs under the bumper instead of on the bumper so there's no need to drill holes in the bumper itself. http://www.rostra.com/rostra-obstacle.htm I found it for $200 at summit racing.com What do you guys think? Any of you guys with non-microwave sensing systems ever have problems in the weather?
