    If you have your heart set on a Blinder, then go with the M-40.

    Get the M-40. But be careful because you wont be immune to lidar.

    I was wondering, is that a pic of your truck, and if so, why do you have a front plate?

    Either way, here's where I would put them. This a Tahoe front end, but it's almost the same as the truck you posted.


    The top ones should be as close to the headlights as possible. The bottom ones I put there because I was assuming you had a state mandated front plate. Either way, I would leave the heads there, or maybe move them out just a little bit, but not all the way out. LEOs still like to shoot center mass, even if no plate is present.

    Default The M-45 is perfect for pickups!

    I have done some testing with the Pro laser II gun I have. The M-45 will do the job for your pickup. The picture below showing the mounting on your grill is just where you want to mount them. Or you could do 3 heads in front and one in the rear.

    One in the rear would be pointless. As, repeter said, if he had his heart set on Blinder, then an M40 would probably be better. The M40s are cheaper and seem to work better. With the price of the M45, you're approaching the price of diode jammers, which would be even better than the M45.

    Default All about Placement!

    The M-45 and M-40 are very close in performance. The M-45 has stronger LED's and provides better out side protection than the M-40. You can't go wrong with either one. As for diodes vs LED, who cares. They both give you plenty of time to slow down..
