I have the same problem which is why I'm installing the rails. Also other mechanics screwing up the pinch weld when getting tires changed etc.. So one question, can I jack the rear up from the differential and install jack stands while I do this?

I'm doing mine this WE.. Gonna try with it on the ground or maybe just the body jacked up a little, wheels still on the ground. Possibly I might try ramps in the front and see if that helps. I really don't want to have to lift the car off the ground.

Perfect ! I appreciate you taking the time to post pics. Looks really good and barely visible. Nice install job!

Do you happen to have a pic of the front and rear sensors. I'm researching and don't want them interfering with anything but still be discreet.

That's one I purchased based upon your link. I got magnetic mount without wireless charging though. Just installed it and while a bit costly it is insanely solid. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and watch the video because when you first look at the mount it looks like it will...

That you do ! My friend had one of those he used in his 74 Mustang.

Any updates on the Escort built in CI system? From what I have read it's not that great however I prefer an "all in one" rather than piecing together a system. Currently I run a V1 Gen2 with JBV1 or V1 Companion... Sadly LIDAR is huge where I live (L.I. NY) so I need something extra.

I got lucky. My 2024 was a Job 2 car but for some reason I slipped under the wire and did not get the SS button. I am happy because wifey's 24 Atlas has it and IMHO it's dangerous.

Yea. I used the wiring kit similar to the one you posted to power my V1 Gen2 and It's worked fine. I've been looking at the FitcamX because I don't want a camera hanging from my das/window. Prefer to be more discreet. Since I would be interested in monitoring while parked from what I can tell...

Started out decades ago with the first Escort detector. The one with the big yellow lamp. Had some nice Bel over the years. Settled on a V1 a decade ago. It was simply the best. My latest is a V1 Gen2. I use V1 Companion on an iPhone but have also used JBV1 as well. Both are very nice. I also...

Is anyone running the camera AND a radar detector (V1 Gen2) from the rain sensor power at the same time? Any side effects?

Train for a job where you have to touch something. Plumber, electrician, mechanic etc. You will be offshoring proof as well as Ai proof to a degree. Just my advice. As for my 24 Mustang, I love it. Best car, so far, I have ever purchased and I'm in my 60's. Follow your passion but don't be...

Color is nice. White wheels, not so much.

True however by top tier I meant brands like Exxon, Mobil, Sunoco vs the off brands . Poor choice of terms on my part. And the second part of the conversation would usually revolve around "but it all comes from the same place" topic. Lot's of urban legends in that discussion.

A little off topic but back in the 90's I had a team of technicians working for me and they regularly drove 1k-2k miles a week servicing clients. The majority drove Volvo's which at the time literally lasted forever. However there was one major difference between the ~10 techs and it was always...
