Thanks. I'm still a bit fuzzy on the basics of the CTIS. To me it's all magic ;) But what I don't know is if the engine ECU tracks that sensor/data. If it does, it could be displayed via the Bluefire. I still haven't dug thru all the possible sensors and readouts that the...

Not sure, I'll dig into it and see. The Bluefire appears to be capable of displaying anything on the ECU. But I don't honestly know to what extent the ECU tracks axel air/PSI (if it even does). If it does, I would think it was per axel and not wheel, though. /dunno I know that...

@chucky had some nice ramps until he chopped them up to make stairs ;p

Not mine of course, but these were some beefy ramps. Don't have a better pic, but I think there are more in his build thread.

My amazing feat of the week was installing 6-fuse blocks behind both the driver and passenger kickpanel. One thing I hate about the A1R is the way BAE buried the power lugs used to tap into additional power. While there are +/- lugs right on the left face of the PDP on the A0...

Those Pelicans are a sweet match for the rack, https://www.pelican.com/us/en/product/cases/cargo/bx140r They make a taller version as well (for the same price): https://www.pelican.com/us/en/product/cases/cargo/bx255

I like that rack. I still plan to build my own, but this is nice. I like the weight factor of it being aluminum, but I'd wreck it on the first tree branch. Still, for under $1500 with all the needed hardware it's a quick solution for those with the pockets...

It looked soooooooo good here. Less is better sometimes....

Found the build log: https://www.oraclelights.com/pages/lmtv?_pos=1&_psq=lmtv&_ss=e&_v=1.0

And then I saw the inside. Which was NOT what I was expecting No stripper pole ! FAIL

Debuts next week.. Looking forward too seeing the build...(at least the cab) Some teasers:

If I were looking for a "kit" I'd do something like this. Viper has been around forever. It has a starter kill, a little blinky LED (to scare away the bad man), and when the door opens it would lay on the airhorn...

No one uses air train horns for their car alarm. That would get a lot of attention, fast IMO. :) But honestly, disabling the vehicle is pretty easy w/o any special security system. That just leaves intrusion alerts if you want them. Door pin switches and a train horn would be my goal.

Yeah, I just bolted a small piece of 1.5" angle to the top lip of the ramp. Then I bolted a piece of flat stock with a standoff the thickness of the angle iron to the passenger step/box (that 's the last pic). Super sturdy and quick to deploy/stow.

Yep, my GSD won't board w/o a ramp. LOL

And it may very well work. They used advertise that it worked with 12/24v. But at the end of the day, it was a 5 minute precautionary fix. I had another reader I purchased off Amazon back in 2020 that,(like the Bluefire, displayed the data to a customizable layout/dash via a...

Yeah, Bluefires has a disclaimer warning about 24v in their FAQ *I know the guy on FB burned up a couple before they sorted it out (I think it was the Bluetooth radio inside the device that smokes).

EDIT: THIS IS COMPLETE CRAP AND WRONG IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE DO NOT USE I found the pinout info that I needed. https://www.automotivecontrol.com/www.dgtech.com/product/dpa5/manual/DPA_Pinouts_Dec2012.pdf I may still just buy the damned cable.

The Bluefire is up and talking to my tablet. I plugged in my J1939 Y splitter and landed one end for the OEM 24v diag port and the other end I clipped the 24v lead and fed it 12v. Plugged in the Bluefire and all was happy. Had to register the adaptor, download some gauge packs...

Yeah, as per the OP and my first train of thought I have a "Y" cable coming so that I can retain the OEM port with 24v and step the power down to 12v for the Bluefire. I'll test if to confirm, but I suspect that the bluetooth signal from the Bluefire will work just fine from behind the...
