The opening on the dash where you mounted that is where our radars go, we mount our PA systems and radio systems in the center console under the computer. Sweet clean whip!

[@MarkBrenner]

Good to know! And thanks haha

[@carsonscarbrough3786]

@@MarkBrennerI will also recommend going to a local police department, and have them look over the vehicle and see what you can or can’t install.

[@Dammit_Bandit]

​@carsonscarbrough3786 he can install whatever he wants cause they can't stop him but he can't use any of it on the road the only thing he can't install and go to jail for is wrapping it in a pd of hp livery.

[@ChaisWade]

​@TheoneandonlyBandit0 actually no, he can't install whatever he wants. It's a felony to have a siren mounted to the car and lights. He did it right by putting amber lights on it instead of red and blues or just blues. The fact that he has amber lights, is the only reason he isn't committing a felony. The pa system is borderline, simply because of the "siren" function. The only thing that is going to save his bacon, if you will, is the fact that he has amber lights and not red over blue or blue over blue. He'd have to be a volunteer firefighter to legally be permitted to have blue over blue. And the pa system/siren would have to be removed. Unless, he was I line officer within the fd ( lieutenant or higher ) then he'd be permitted to have red over white/ red over red and a siren. And the light color is state specific, and he would need to go to his state police and find out which is legally permitted. In PA, volunteer firefighters are permitted blue over blue and line officers in a volunteer fd, are permitted red over white and a siren. And regardless of position, your pov has to be registered with the state police, which can only be done by the fire Chief (that's for all states) and he wouldn't be allowed to use his lights until the process was complete.

[@Dammit_Bandit]

@ChaisWade yes I understand that but in the state I live in you can have as long as u don't use it

[@code3socal83]

I have a standard 3.3L V6 2020 in all black. Have had zero issues with my car mechanically speaking. Absolutely love it!

[@edbrown2061]

Th control box ( felony in a box) goes in the center console, not on the dash. The PA speaker gets mounted behind the grill. Look forward to the DeWitt videos soon. By the way, if it was a demo vehicle, those holes drilled into the top of the center console would have been where the lights would have had a switch. Would be real easy to add one there.

[@armen7932]

That’s actually a pretty clean Explorer.

[@MarkBrenner]

For an interceptor for sure!

[@jman635]

5:25 everyone's doing below the speed limit because they think you're a cop 😆

[@albertdelagarza1081]

there should be a switch by the sunglass cubby by the rear view mirror. Just flip it before exiting vehicle and the tailgate button will work without using the key.

[@Sereous313]

To have that low of idle hours, this was most likely a supervisors patrol vehicle. All Of our department vehicles have plastic back seats so kinda shocked to see comfy cushion seats.

[@ipimpedyoutoo]

The NE has comfy cushion seats as well, there made that way to throw in the water to use as a floatation device in case someones in the water.

[@tacs25]

Or because its hybrid so the engine didnt idle very often.

[@Denalirsps]

I honestly love the looks of these. Just not in the mirror.

[@krisorendorff]

They, had me laughing at the sirens. I can see them getting into fun-trouble, haha haha

[@XavierTheRapper]

Looked better with the windshield tint

[@lukasmogensen6074]

Yeah but that’s illegal

[@InlandOne]

Great find. I’ll tell you after 31 yrs as a LEO if it were in service full-time it would have had a good urine/vomit dump on the floor at least once with a residual odor to match.

[@My_Little_Hobby]

It could be like that movie "Let's Be Cops" and if you haven't seen it you should check it out it's pretty funny. Maybe time to do some Patty Mayo skits with it.

[@MarkBrenner]

I’ll check that out!

[@ChickenThePleco]

For the laptop it’s a dell 5414 that connects to that center console mount

[@hermn2593]

Why would you remove the tint!!???

[@peso1x]

literally

[@jesiahrogge]

It can be towed for the windshield to be tended

[@overyonderjustapiece]

because NO state allows for tinted windshields owned by civilians. Just because it was on there when he bought it, does NOT mean it is legal for him to have it on there once he owns it. And him making all that racket in an apartment complex with the siren and PA is likely to get him in trouble with management when people are complaining about the noise. He should find a small office with an attached garage/shop to do that kind of stuff in once the main businesses have left so he doesn't wind up getting arrested for disturbing the peace, and possibly police impersonation.

Thats a steal. I got my interceptor sedan with 1k idle hours and roughly 102k miles but it was a spare unit 3.7 flex fuel

[@Minjoeman]

OMG where are you going with this…. trouble is brewing!

[@MarkBrenner]

The ultimate security car build 😂

[@IamN4m3l3ss]

He cant legally get in trouble as long as he doesn't use the siren/lights in public. Private property is completely fine tho :)

[@SoCalHypercarSpotters]

Nooooo not the cheapo amazon siren! You can get a used main brand equipment for the same prices. I have collections of police and fire equipment and I'm picking up a few full sized light bars for $120 next week haha. Those lights in the headlights are probably Whelen Vertex hide-aways. The "Ready for the Road" package can consist of many items, including headlight lights, headlight hideaways, grille lights, rear window lights, and other options according to the buyers specs

[@B711HD]

right for the price he pay for that siren he could got a used one on fb market

[@AVC-Works]

Looks like the left rear door is more black than the rest... Would love to have a FPIU.. I hear for a lot that the 2016 ride is better than the 2020, but I like the looks of a 2020 much more

[@bigd1223]

Well considering the civilian Explorer has garbage reliability I bet these fall apart pretty quickly too

[@bigboytexasdownsouth]

It’s not retired because this suv never served. He said it was a test vehicle. So it was owned by a company that sold them.

[@Redstoneprofi01]

It's a test vehicle, so there probably was a reason why it couldn't be converted to an actual police car

[@AnthonyPerezR]

Reliability. Crown Vics are like the 1994 Ford F series. Unbreakable.

Машина в идеальном состоянии! Сейчас очень тяжёло найти в хорошем состоянии такие машины. Ты прям везунчик! 👍👍

[@steezayay]

Ford says that 1 idle hour is the equivalent of approx. 33 miles - BUT this is mainly used for departments to stay on track with the vehicles maintenance schedule (oil changes, etc.) So I wouldn't say that idling for an hour is the same as driving 33 miles... idling isn't going to put as much wear & tear on all the components that normal driving would.

[@FireHawkGaming]

Rented a 2021 Explorer Limited Hybrid in Canada before... rare civilian spec. Gearbox bit jumpy, but other than that... sheer driving pleasure. The power it has on tap at a moments notice is amazing.

[@VMXGroove]

How much all in? With taxes, registration and upgrades?

[@adamr7666]

there should be upfiter plugs along the front of the engine bay and they tend to end in the center console a grey plug with brown stripe wires you can wire up thats corner lights to and have a toggle aswell as your amber grill lights, ( I Build Police cars for my job)

where did you pick that pa system

[@nerothostv]

The norwegian police uses those too for chases. They have a system where they push a button inside the car and it locks the suspension :D

[@56Mitchelldrive]

I believe they put the PA control panel on the centre console like the metal panel it should fit in the hole you have or unscrew another cover and fit it in.

[@denvera1g1]

Why wouldnt they put solar on the roof. Sure it would require a slight modification to the chassis to get those cells integrated into bodywork but i cant imagine using much more than 700w at idle, unless using the AC which i personally dont use but others might, well, i dont use until it gets over 100 or over 90% humidity. I'd imagine solar would significantly cut down on maintenance/idle hours

[@MrVman858]

You can reprogram the car with forscan to make it act like a civilian vehicle again with the locks and everything

[@simple_beys]

The tires, engine, suspension and transmission look great, but you still need to fix the cigarette lighter.
