    I cut some wires here. Added some wires there.
    The tailgate theft prevention mod from the cheapo list. I have an EZdown damper but that's not a deterrant at all, you can just steal the damper with the tailgate.

    I use Beltronics 955 and 995. THey work great for a "Budget" radar detector...can get around 120, not worth paying in the 3-400+ for valentines and such.

    I dont think any will work against laser. laser is instant since it targets you specifically, once it goes off, too late.
