Here's his thread. @Plasa will see this https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ctis-and-arduino.181972/

If you look at the trailer's wheels, the CTIS is not hooked up. They leave the valve system on the tires for interchangeability, but the trailer has no CTIS.

I 've never seen a 4x4 sand anchor rated over 15000# I'm a boat guy. I don't believe in reinventing the wheel when it ain't broke. Big ass fluke anchor is what I'll carry. If it can secure a 40' yacht in rough seas, it should hold a recovery pull.

That's usually the point in the project where I start another project. True story. :)

Trailer has no interaction with the CTIS system. Drag that sucker like you stole it... Your controller didn't fail due to the trailer being hooked up. They fail. It's what they do. Often. If you're worried about the truck tires psi, just leave the controller unplugged. You can...

From my experience, 5-solid is a brick. If that's the case, I highly recommend Plasa's replacement controller base on the Arduino platform. It's less expensive than a used take-off replacement, it's customizable, and it's plug-n-play.

I think Texas still has an appeal open on the pistol issue, but I don't give it much hope. But removing the brace satisfies the rule, though. As to bump stocks: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-appeals-court-strikes-down-ban-bump-stocks-2023-01-07/

True, but A1R's are somewhat more rare (coveted by some). :) Pretty sure this one was from the lot that came from Lockheed Martin (or was it General Dynamics, I forget) that auctioned thru GSA a couple years back. I think that there were six trucks in the lot. They were quite clean and...

Not mine

Big arse Isuzus, cool. Left hand drive conversions, too. Must be made for the Philippine military or something. China of course has one as well.

Somewhat unrelated, the only M1079's that I've seen that were rolled had their cab's battered but intact. My takeaway was that survival protection might not need to be internal. I'll add that I'm no fan of any form of "bolt-together" roll protection. Weld it together in cab if you cage.

How many btu is your Planar?

Yeah, the tank should still recharge to normal psi.

Yes, but you have to get them standing around you first and on a cold day everyone has weed and a bottle. But they flock to heat sources. :)

I like that. Ideally, you just cut out the section where the tire meets the ground (stitch or even glue the new edge). Hard to beat fore that price....

I also use my surplus Batmobile engine (I have two) at the beach a lot. Just to dump a little warmth into the world of cold wet surfer chickies. I've even considered trading one of my 60K btu units for a 30K btu unit for use on the truck, but these things certainly aren't quiet either. It...

Not really relevant but.... My very first car (a 67 VW Squareback had a Stewart Warner gas-fired heater under the front hood. It had a little glowplug that ignited the fuel in an exchanger and the blower fan circulated it into the passenger compartment. The car came from Norway and the...

Cool video

The sound issues I was referring to are with the M1079 OEM Hunter. There's no way to really quiet it down without some major mods. The blower fan is half the problem (it's LOUD). I looked at what it would take to put a more quiet fan in there, but unless you have a solution that can move the...

I tried it a few winters. Just to much for the box (ran 10 mins for 30 seconds of heat). And I don't like sleeping with earplugs (I may still have the db meter readings of that thing running thru all it's cycles). Took mine out. May heat the garage with it for when I'm working on...
