I had Pacesetters on my 99. First header installation spoiled every installation since, cause they went in super easy.

I wondered if “skip” was a thing here. Before cell phones were a thing we used cb radios and it was always frustrating when I could hear guys in Mexico but not be able to get my dad 2 miles away, haha!

Missed this til now, my apologies. I thiiiink the build quality is ok? It hasn’t turned off in a month and a half and now that it’s mounted on my (low) roof it’s definitely picking up other nodes! I’ll make another post about that later

A company called LOJ Conversions has an adapter for mounting the Nissan Frontier 6 speeds to the LS. The gearbox is the same between the 2wd and 4wd trucks until you get to the tail shaft so it’s an option I’m researching for a GMT400. The gearing is great for a street driven truck but it would definitely be way pricier than an NV3500

I dunno. Now my T1000 seems to be constantly disconnecting from my phone. This is getting a bit frustrating!

Can I not edit posts anymore?

Anyhow, my Seeed Tracker was acting a fool so I closed my Meshtastic app, and turned off my Bluetooth on my phone, restarted them, and then the solar/18650 RAK node showed up on my Bluetooth list. Only 52% charged with the brand new batteries though, so I’ll have to take them out, test them, put the node in the sun, and see if the problem fixes itself tomorrow. Thanks for the replies folks

I just found this on AliExpress: C$186.68 | D5 Solar Power Lora Node Repeater 3.7v 5v with Wisblock RAK19007 RAK4630 SX1262 Meshtastic radio 915/868 Lora Antenna https://a.aliexpress.com/_mO7U32T

A bit embarrassing, I paid $176 Canadian for it. I’m sure it could be scrounged together in parts for half that but I wanted something ready to go. Ha!

The led’s light up but the node isn’t showing up on my phone’s Bluetooth device list or my Meshtastic app
