Default Parking sensor/camera installation

Hey guys, although I'm getting a Wrangler for that go-anywhere ability, the fact is that I'm going to have to park it in some tight situations. Therefore, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to get installed (or self-install) some parking sensors/camera.

Any experience or wisdom much appreciated, cheers from Melbourne.

I always thought that stuff was a waste. However, I love the back-up sensor that we have in the Exploder. I've seriously thought about doing something like that in my Jeep. I'd go the sensor route though, because you're still looking around and you don't come complacent like you can with a camera.

I seem to remember that somebody here mounted a camera in the spare tire.

I have a back up camera because I happen to NEED it! With the rise to the Warn tire carrier and 35's, there is no way in hell I can see a thing! Works quite well, but I am not adept at judging distance. I have mine zip tied under the spare. Wireless so it works quite well.
