Boosting no signal is still no signal. It not a weak signal out on the inland once you head south, it's no signal. No towers to boost. I do keep a handheld HAM programmed to the ranger's repeater just for emergencies, but that's about the only contact down there.

I'm personally not interested in "in motion". I'm only into it for the Internet connection (gotta pay the bills by uploading that porn). I also like that Starlink can be subscribed to for only the months you are traveling and shut off when not.

I have been considering mounting the standard Starlink RV portable unit into a box and have it on actuators to lift out of an enclosure. I canned the idea as a waste of space and just more moving parts to break.

New piece of hardware from Starlink. "The Flat High Performance Starlink is now available for in-motion use with the Starlink RV service plan." The price jumps to $2600 (vs $600 for the portable unit). Personally, I have zero interest in "in motion" use but this is the first unit that can be...

My take is: Required below 40F -27F would be when nothing mattered any more, you and the truck are dead at that point.... ;p

Yeah, easier for me to just not drive the truck on the two days a year we get below 40 degrees here. ;p

I think I paid $100 ea for the two lights. I'll be making the panel, but I haven't decided on the type of light switches I'll be using in the cab. You really only need a couple on/off toggles and a couple joysticks. Little analog sticks are like $5.

LOL, yeah I have "camper project build stuff" in: Living room Dining room (floor to ceiling) M1082 trailer (filled up to the roof) As well as every square inch of the garage I've been working on the house the past month and between family coming down I've made zero progress with the build.

I have a pair of IBIS TEK remotes. I plan on making a small "cage" for each and incorporating them into the roof rack. And like you, I'll have switches and a couple small joysticks in the center console to control them (mine will be on a master panel with a number of other features, thoough)...

Muh widdle bare hippy feets hurtz jus lookin at that.... ;) Like the steps on the M1079, great traction but HELL on bare feet (and I'm at the beach 90% of my life). I had to carpet over the stairs to my habitat. Even the dog wouldn't step on those things. LOL ymmv

I was kinda thinking the same. In any event, it's a $2000 solution to a $0 problem. The OEM and similar fixed steps work just fine. But I wouldn't give 2-cents for something that you have to get out to lower (so you can get out to lower it). Hanging upside down out the door to deploy a step...

One of the ones posted above is powered (pic). That's a still from the FB video. The author didn't share where they got it, though.

Does your CTIS controller function? Does the issue persist if the CTIS controller is unplugged (best to always plug/unplug the controller with ignition OFF)?

My issue with deployable steps is, if they aren't motorized how do you get them down? Do you just sit in your truck and wave frantically at other people in the parking lot and point down in hopes that they will walk over and lower your step? Do you take a passenger and have them come around...

Cheaper to buy a forklift (and more practical). ;)

What happens in Walmart, stays in Walmart. That's my moto...

Not true, I only have the one that came in my truck. But Amazon has them and I've posted links in the past... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Lev-o-gage&i=automotive&crid=31RPG5PGG9QDF&sprefix=lev-o-gage%2Cautomotive%2C138&ref=nb_sb_noss_1...

Yeah, I'd not waste the money on a Neihoff. Not that they aren't baddass alts, but at the end of the day they are simply another commercial grade HD piece of hardware. There are a number of HD 24v alts sold, just find one with the desired output/price.

No, no...bookends ! All the kids are using them these days. Your welcome...
