ARB TPMS retrofit kits (1 Viewer)

Has anyone played with these ARB TPMS kits?

Internal Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor System (819100)
External Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor System (819101)​

Of course I see equivalent Chinese kits all over Amazon for about 1/3 of the price of the ARB (or less).

There was a write up on expo a few weeks back by Christophe Noel, I think, or somebody from the crew there, and they were pretty impressed.
No firsthand knowledge here though.

This one?

ARB Releases Two Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Not a ton of detail, but more that I had before.

Thanks!

There are tons of these kits that have been out for years.
Alot of RV'ers have retro fitted them.

I would not want the head ache. Just check often and buy good tires and should never have an issue.

From an off road view, until someone comes out with a system with rubber valve stems or fully internal sensors I not ready to open myself to valve stem failure. Replacing a valve stem on the trail would not be fun.

In the past I tried mounting a TPMS sensor valve to the inside of the rim with no luck.

That's worked fine for me so far, but I'm dealing with a teen that already knows everything, where "funny noise + strange pull + loss of power = more throttle & turn up stereo" (those must be his mom's genes).
