    Default My ZR3 install and best save.

    I have had this unit for about 3 years, but at the end of the month I'm going with the LI. Can any one give me advise on which one to get? I have a Ford Excursion.

    The best save I have had with my ZR 3 is when I was going to pick up my Son and was late.I was doing 80 in a 50 during the day. The motorcycle cop was at the bottom of the hill. He had me I saw him but there was no way that I could slow down. He hit me with his gun the jammer went off and then my V1. I had slowed down by the time I drove past him and he just looked at me then at his Gun. I don't think I could have gotten out of that ticket. I was dead wrong. They only thing that I can figure is when I drive I leave my parking lights on and the ford fog lights on. So when he hit me with the laser he aimed for the lights and that is where the jammers our.

    IDK how a ZR3 even has the slightest chance of protecting a vehicle that large.

    I am in complete shock that you have survived against police laser for this long with the ZR3s. No veil, plate cover or anything. It is definitely time to upgrade to either Blinder or LI. Can you post a picture of the rear?

    Minimum of LI Quad on the front for consistently reliable protection. If it were me, I'd do a LI HP Quad on the front, just because I don't believe in "this should be good enough" protection when we're talking about this big an investment. If you have big chrome mirrors sticking out like wings, you're going to need all the protection you can get.

    I would think most guns would acquire an instant lock on your vehicle.

    nah...i think a regular LI dual mounted around the same position with MAYBE veil is completely fine

    Leo must have used a prolaser and tried to aim useing just 1 arm and couldn't keep it steady enough. I've seen this on "speeders".
