INSTALLING A Completely HIDDEN Radar Detector And Laser SHIFTERS In My F-250

[@noneofyourbuisness7]

As a cop I actually enjoy seeing people use systems like this. A detector is no less of a tool than the radar and lidar guns we use. And if it slows you down. I’ve done my job without even having to stop you. And like John said it generally keeps people more aware of their surroundings. I know not all my colleagues agree with me. But something I wanted to throw out there.

[@Constabruity]

Stay safe Dalton! Thank you for your service and positive attitude about detectors and jammers.

[@95scort]

Dalton, I appreciate your service and pray for yours and your fellow officer safety. I speak for many when I say that we need you more now that society is trying to tell us that we don’t. Stay strong and know that you are appreciated!

[@adrian_c7964]

Stay safe out there officer Dalton.

[@Sylvan_dB]

That's the perspective of someone who knows the objective on the road is safety, not winning a war. Thanks Dalton!

[@reelreeler8778]

I just set my cruise control to the speed limit. stay to the right, and don't worry about radar.

[@ProVolumeInc.]

@watchjrgo it was a pleasure working with you. The install on the F250 came out flawless. I cannot wait to see what we will protect next!

[@admranger]

Great install and awesome hair! Both take commitment.

[@ProVolumeInc.]

@Ryan England this setup is around $2200 plus install.

[@racerx009]

JR: The HP's won't know you have this radar detector. Me: well they all were watching this video so the word on the street is 'pull that JR over'. 😁

[@jamesluke7377]

Too funny! 😂

[@J.B-is8fb]

I was just thinking this lol 😂

[@mduff94]

JR is a tech guy too, the HP's won't know, but the Dells and Lenovos might

[@Avboden]

yeah, laser shifters are illegal in 12 states, just because they're legal where he is doesn't mean making a video about it is a good idea....

[@Cartier_specialist]

That's a pretty stealthy installation but if you get some silver paint that adheres to polycarbonate or plastic and paint those laser shifters to match your brush guard it will be really stealthy.

[@stevenpdxedu]

This is a sticky subject for truck drivers. Most well paying companies won't hire you if you have 2 or even one ticket in the preceding 1-3 years depending. It's your commercial license, it's up to you to defend it. It's their insurance (non independents) so your tickets cost them big time. I always drove fully radar protected, high end CB Radio (or shortwave). Even though most of us didn't speed much, there's always that one cop looking to write someone up. Peace of mind . . . Priceless! Thanks JRGo!

[@xjrrider6710]

The guy has clearly done a great install 👍🏼. However, it stands out a country mile and looks... not very nice on the bars. Be nicer behind the grille.

[@raqg1803]

General rule of thumb. When measuring speed using LIDAR, you want to measure by pointing in between the headlights. I did the job for 10 yrs. Hardly ever wrote tickets. Way more things to do than bogus traffic enforcement.

[@100PercentJake]

[@wedreamtogether]

Isn’t it kinda difficult to get a ticket when the truck is constantly being serviced at the dealership?

[@mooreorlessvideos]

Well if it was a dodge I'd agree

[@jarotex]

A...hahaha!!! All three brands are good but I will say, all the diesel techs I talk to say that Fords have the most problems. Most of it is either emissions related or notorious turbo issues. I ain't saying, just saying.

[@neilbarratt1523]

This shows how little I know about radar detectors. When he said completely hidden I thought, then why can we see 4 black units on the front of then truck.

[@RudyRudolph]

Man, Ian seems like a genuinely good dude.

[@HenryKron]

Ian seemed super cool, like he loved what he did and the people he worked with. I never knew this modular radar system was a thing, really loved the video

[@anomamos9095]

There are places that are so desperate for the revenue from speeding fines that they have made any kind of defeat device illegal and will tag on extra penalties if you try to take a bogus ticket to court. Radar and lidar work very well as revenue generating machines as they are easy to game into giving excess readings, they keep these techniques secret and deny that they exist and claim that they have design features that prevent them from getting false readings but any electronics engineer who has worked on these devices can tell you what the cheats are and how if the supposed design features actually worked they would never get any readings except under the most perfectly favourable conditions in a laboratory. These places have slogans that are meant to strike fear into drivers that even a tiny bit over the speed limit will result in a fatality and they put a great deal of effort into hiding the statistics that show that their over policing of speed limits actually increase traffic accidents and fatalities. The over policing of speed is the equivalent of micromanaging a space heater because it might overheat while metheheads are cooking crystals in your kitchen unattended

[@PaddyBoy644]

I bet CarMax wishes it was invincible considering how many issues it has 😂

[@BSGSV]

I like that Ian waved at us.

[@SoCalSlaughter]

All new Fords are mechanically speed limited to 55. Death wobble engaged.

[@esingh7933]

Death Wobble only happens when you don’t maintain your vehicle. Not getting alignment, wheel balancing, or not changing the brakes/rotors. I have a 07 ford and goes to 90 without any wobble

[@hunterwaldroup6403]

I have a escort passport radar detector and it’s a life changer by far my favorite brand to have.

[@CALVINLNIKONT]

Those laser shifters on the front bumper are very easy to see if a cop knows what he's looking for. Too bad you can't conceal them better.

[@speedbuggy16v]

The laser shifters, and escort live is so cool, a great improvement over just a detector. Technology is awesome!

[@dougiequick1]

thank the military for all of it...the radar speeding tickets and the technology attempting to defeat it

[@michaelbaka4777]

I have an Escort 360. Used it once. I don't generally speed, I use cruise control, works like a charm. Haven't had a speeding ticket in over 25 years. Escort 360 for sale!!!

[@kpurdsk]

You are concerned with the police not seeing a radar detector, but don't you think they can see 4 sensors mounted on your grill guard..?? NOT A COP .....just a concerned enthusiast..!

[@jimschafer9196]

LOL ... I almost forgot about the F-250 HWY trip in reverse cool clip. Very smart install. Thanks for the share.

[@fillg]

Last radar detector I had went off every time I drove past a store with automatic doors. Of course that was 30 years ago. I guess they've changed a bit in that time.

[@Cartier_specialist]

The laser detectors will give you false alerts by the airport because of the lasers the airports use to measure wind shear. But yes radar detectors have upped their game but the police have upped theirs as well plus many cars are equipped with laser and radar guidance equipment these days so that only adds to the false alerts.

[@joerebuilds1876]

Mine still goes off for that stuff but I know where the places are on my normal commute, mine has saved my butt several times, mine is an escourt as well, I've had it 3 years and its great.

[@jrinkovs]

Are you planning on doing Cannonball with the F-250? Or do you need radar/laser protection for quicker trips to CarMax for the CEL?

[@ttuclint]

😂

[@84mlynch]

That truck moving along the Google maps was hilarious. Haha

[@wriddle082]

Back in 2015 when I spent like all of May working in Olathe, I ate at Joe’s at least once a week. Very good, and me being originally from TN I am a huge BBQ snob! And I had an Escort Passport in my truck for years, until it got stolen (out of my glove box!). It rarely ever gave me a false alert, and I almost sent it in to have I upgraded for Escort Live but I never got around to do it.

[@gregm8941]

Totally hidden? Can't the cops see all of that equipment in your grill as easily as I can?

[@petermacklin7870]

Love my Passports/Escorts! Best detectors on the planet. Have the original brick made by Cincinnati Microwave that still works!

[@nedj10]

Completly stealth...except for the four black shifters stuck to the silver bumper. Also Vortex Radar has shown multiple times that Waze is more accurate than Escort Live.

[@blackcountryme]

You got radar Jesus to fit your kit.

[@ImpalaSS08]

Did you make the check engine light invisible too?

[@stevenpdxedu]

I think it's time now to fall back on a piece of black electrician's tape slapped over that sucker. JR's not getting much use out of it either way.

[@philhanna1206]

[@gregorywills2231]

The R8 seems like a more natural candidate for this setup. Still very cool...

[@lightningbear2135]

Wow that’s an amazing system. A bit out of my price range but cool. I want to trim that installer guys facial hair so bad.

[@Emeraldant92]

This is so cool seeing that u paired up with a 12v shop to do this! Being in the 12v industry people don't realize how long it actually takes to install one of these lol

[@MuddyTears]

Wouldn’t mounting the detector higher on the truck be more effective? Line of sight being better

[@melvingibson4525]

How about fixing the death wobble or cleaning carbon out of the valves?

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

Smart ! We have those camera tickets. You get the ticket in the mail as A parting gift .

[@joeg.1119]

The escort redline gets more hits for a mount dash radar/laser detector..! My escort ix ci it's the best money can buy radar and laser detector combine.

[@j.brooks5017]

valentine one makes a display module. You hide the detector behind your mirror so that the rear antenna is peaking around the mirror on the right side. Works awesome.

[@gainesinlife]

I'm sorry the front install doesn't look all that professional, the one on the front plate looks nice but the other sensors look like they are zip tied to the grill. Not hidden at all....

[@johnbabecki8248]

did you love your Uniden R7 before the new install?

[@PaulBarwick]

Years ago, back in the day when the police car radar units were huge chrome cans about the size of a 3 lb coffee can and hung on the outside of the side window of the cruiser, ours was broken. We still used it to slow traffic down though. We would park on the side of the freeway and just sit there for an hour or so laughing our asses off at drivers who would get alongside us before they noticed the radar and slammed on their brakes. Had the radar not been broken it would have read their speed long before they even spotted our car, much less the radar hanging there. That is so cool that it integrates with the can bus and. shows up on your dash display like that.

[@rwdplz1]

I was looking at radar detectors a few weeks ago and I can't believe how far ahead of everyone else Escort is now.

[@dominicene3647]

[@FirstNameLastName-ev3jk]

[@garys9694]

In Virginia, the cops will see those sensors all over the bull bar and impound your vehicle. I had a friend who was traveling with an Escort and was pulled over. I was told the cop saw the detector and grabbed it and destroyed it on the spot. That was when a top of the line Escort sold for about $300, I know, I know, that was a long time ago. I live in Maryland and used to cross into Virginia frequently.

[@VTXHobbies]

Grabbing and destroying private property doesn't sound entirely legal, I hope your friend knows that

[@firesurfer]

I had somebody pass me at 90-100 and as soon as he passed the overpass his tires locked up. Blue smoke everywhere. I barely had time to brake to not hit him. Cop saw everything.

There's many economical radar detectors that work great but as far as laser detection most the time barring some sort of divine intervention when your detector warns you of laser you just got pinged and if you were speeding the police has your speed.

I got my escort passport radar detector 9500ix about 15 years ago. It’s noisy now due to Hondas and Acuras and some Cadillacs giving it false alarms. But all I have to do is listen for the Ka band, which is what the police use most of the time. I’ve gotten one speeding ticket in 15 years and that was because the reader detector was in the glove box and I wasn’t paying attention. I’m older now (53) and don’t speed nearly as much as I did when I was a kid. Still when all the traffic is flowing at 75 -80, with a speed limit of 65. I like to know I’m not going to be the one to get beaned for speeding. The radar detector has more than paid for itself.

I’ve thought about doing the integrated system. Right now I just run the max 360 windshield unit with a dash cam. As long as I’m not speeding or speeding a lot, the cops don’t write tickets if they see a dash camera. They don’t want to get out on Brady Giglio status.

I'm pretty sure the reason Barney Fife wrote "Radar" all over your ticket was to make the judge believe that you constantly speed and that's why you have a radar detector.
