I just got APRSDroid with offline OSM working at it's great. Used one of the full USA maps and it's so nice not having to worry about trying to cache google maps. Do you use any theme or just the stock map file?

Ah nice I'm thinking of getting a one as well. However on my Yaesu FT-2900 I need to make up a special cable to connect it to the Mobilinkd it looks like. Something like this. Did you have to make up a special cable to get our radio to connect or were you able to find one online? Have you found...

Very cool. I've been looking at the TinyTrak4 but it seems like they charge quite a bit for their GPS modual and the additional expense for Bluetooth turned me off. Good to know you can make most serial bluetooth adapters work. Right now I have the Argent Data Tracker4 working with USB cable...

Interesting. I find the 5kwh heater way too powerful for our James Baroud Tent. In even the coldest outside temperature of -8F at 12000ft elevation we only had the heater set at 2Hz and cracked the zipper just a tad to let excess heat out. I can't imagine worrying about the tent letting too much...

Didn't mean to leave this thread dead. I've done quite a bit to the truck since last posting. Below is how it stands currently. With all this down time I decided to build a website rather than use this forum to show the modifications to the truck. I currently have a 3 articles about the truck...

Hey guys. I'm a little late to this thread now that summer is pretty much here but I wanted to share with you my experience with using a Chinese diesel heater in an RTT full time for 6 months. I wrote an article on how I built it up, mounted it to my rear bumper, power and fuel consumption...

@prerunner1982 just stumbled across your post after playing around with APRSDroid. Been having some difficulties with the Argent Data Systems Tracker4 TNC but have APRSDroid working on for now. Was wondering what setup you have for your APRS in the vehicle apart from using APRSDroid on your...

Interesting that 700lb springs didn't work for you. I have a BFF bumper with the 10,000lb winch on King coilovers and these Eibach springs work great for me.

The Victron Batteries are great. Love that they have bluetooth.

Just noticed the AIMS 200ah LifePO4 battery dropped in price on Amazon. Anyone have any experience with this battery? Think it's worthwhile? https://www.amazon.com/Aims-LFP12V200A-Black-Lithium-Battery/dp/B07GZHBCDG/

Very interesting. So below is a picture of the cells that make up this battery. They specify the rated voltage as 3.2v per cell. Does that mean the 12.8 is probably accurate then compared to say the BB and most other LiFEPO4 cells at 13.2? Thanks for the tips on the National Luna working with...

I really appreciate all the input. It sounds like I have some missing facts that I need to confirm before making any decisions. -Confirm battery resting voltage and dead battery voltage for this Aims Power battery -Confirm what current the battery prefers for longevity Also just to confirm the...

Seems the National Luna is the same 12.7v. So with the 2 AGM configuration the 12.7 works just fine since almost any load will put the batteries at 12.7 and disconnect. But with the Battle Borns (for example) that doesn't work becuase their resting voltage is so much higher? Do you have a non...

@luthj Wow just noticed you have 2 LifeLine 8Ds??

With the National Luna battery monitor I almost never see above 14v. More like 13.8 max. I believe when I swapped out the alternator the voltage had dropped by a bit. It also doesn't charge at idle when in drive but that's a whole other matter. I totally get the bling factor especially with...

Thanks @dwh for your reply. I agree they have some weird things listed on their site. I too saw the 12v nominal voltage for AGM listed. I was hoping that was just the marketing department. It's a shame their manual is also lacking on information and that they do not have a full spec sheet with...

Hello Expo, We decided to go full time in our 2005 Toyota Tundra 3 months ago and have been on the road since. We've had 3 months of using our electrical system on the truck 24/7 and are considering upgrading our 4 year old AGM house battery to lithium (LifePO4) rather than replacing the AGM...

Looks like about $140 to 98052

I had to swap them out for a custom leaf pack after adding quite a bit more of weight. I actually have 2250lbs in the bed now. That being said when I first installed them I had about 600lbs total in the bed and it was like night and day coming from stock leafs. There was so much added droop I...
