Where did you mount the interior and exterior antenna? My interior one is velcro to the center console and I used a mount near the rear lift gate for the exterior.

Mounted to my roof rack…
Already have 2 antennas at the back of the vehicle…
Interior antenna is located to the underside of the enter console lid
 
Annually? I check my sole locker (center) monthly.
Well, they were put use back in July at Windrock park in TN so, 6 month check. I hear ya though. Central Ohio isn’t exactly the “most mountainous, most opulent“ area for off road fun. Southern Ohio sure, but much of the land isn’t public.

Same concept to my set up but I dont have good experience with my Weboost since I have T-Mobile. Our buddies with either Verison or AT&T benefited from my Weboost when we are trailing.

Neither is Arizona, but always have to make sure they work.

I do not have issues with mine here in AZ. They say to keep the interior antenna away from glass or line of sight as it could interfere with reception.
 
Picked up a short bus. Added some IPF 968 lights and a cut off switch for the winch. Wiring could be better.

Just waiting for the battery to charge and going to try and start it up! Been 3 1/2 years since it’s been moved by its own power. Hopefully the fresh engine will give it another 25 years of service.

So after getting a new battery it fired up for a quick minute and I shut it off. I was getting a solid “thud” from the starter but it would not crank. So I jumped the starter with 12v to verify the starter was good (new reman denso) and it cranked so I can move onto Ignition switch, Neutral safety switch or maybe the old alarm is holding me up (not sure how That exactly disables the truck from starting) I have a brand new battery and fusible link also. I checked the NSS plug and no corrosion there. Going to have to do some testing. Anyone have any tips on fast tracking my process. I’m really good at building engines but slow at electrical even when it’s very simple. TIA
 
Picked up two sets of chains to fit the 35” tires I put on it last spring. Temps are predicted to get in to the mid-teens to upper-20s next week. And they are predicting rain around those days so I want to be ready for frozen roads.

Got the truck finally on the road. She rips and stops on a dime now with the new brake lines and PDI brake booster. Here's a couple Pull videos. Will take more in the daylight soon.




(Truck currently weights 7500Lbs)

I’ve been looking at that booster. How was the install? What year is your cruiser?
 
Looks good and a nice price. I am guessing this doesn't have wireless Carplay or Android Auto right? I recently was testing a Carpuride W103 Pro. It was actually really nice but I had some issues with it so am returning it. The worst thing about Android Auto and CarPlay is that you can't long press a location on a map and then drop a pin. The hardware/software doesn't support it. So if you are looking for a location to go to you have to enter it in manually.

It has wireless CarPlay and Android included. I use both and it works well so far. My 2020 Tundra doesn’t even have OEM wireless CarPlay, go figure.
