    Mobile and Monitoring's 1st Gen Tundra

    Ah very cool. Thanks for the kind words I've been slowly exploring what I can between training. I've only been to Valdez once but found it to be incredible! Hopefully we can cross paths sometime. Ah didn't think about putting the Sequoia sway bar on a Tundra. I've had mine off so long I...

    Mobile and Monitoring's 1st Gen Tundra

    That's awesome! Are you a pilot or do you work at the airport? Too bad I missed you. I'm down here in Palmer now.

    Driving though Canada to Alaska during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Yeah it's hard. There have been times it's saved me. Where I had no bars but when I turned it on I had 2 bars LTE. Then there are times where you have at least one bar but it doesn't do much. I really think they should sell it for $299 and I think it would be a great deal. $500 for something...

    Mobile and Monitoring's 1st Gen Tundra

    Thank you! Yes I like to think it helps with fuel economy. It does seem to help a bit being slanted and when I park I usually have the sun in mind!

    Driving though Canada to Alaska during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    I know I need to get around to posting more about the drawers! They are just homemade plywood drawers with one side being a large utility drawer and the other a kitchen setup. Yeah thankfully when I passed into Alaska in early July the test was free and once you get the phone call you can go...

    Glacier Hiking and Four Wheel Driving

    Yes in fact after your comment I found this photo below. Amazing how fast the glaciers are receding. Thank you! Yes the Tundra with the 4.7 is quite the reliable platform. I even have way too much weight in the truck and it keeps on going. You bet! I'm in love with Western Canada. Can't wait...

    Glacier Hiking and Four Wheel Driving

    Hiked my first real glacier here in Alaska. Had the whole Gulkana Glacier to myself which was really amazing. After the hike I drove a bit north and found a backway to about the same icefield and was able to get my Tundra up to 5000ft . The trail was incredible and a little challenging at times...

    Driving though Canada to Alaska during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Oh yeah reading about "the slash" is super interesting. "The United States–Canada border is the longest in the world. It stretches 5,525 miles from Maine to Alaska, traversing land, sea, and untouched wilderness. As such, you might assume this colossal border would be left untouched by...

    Driving though Canada to Alaska during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    No just speaking over the ditch while a border patrol officer kept an eye on them.

    Driving though Canada to Alaska during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    I actually crossed at the Aldergrove crossing thinking it would be less busy. I then accidentially drove along the border along 0 ave and that's where I saw the people hanging out along the border. Amazing to see. I felt like I was witnessing history as well. Look forward to your post.

    Driving though Canada to Alaska during the Covid-19 Pandemic

    I just finished driving from Southern California to Alaska and wrote a blog post about it. 3322 miles in just 4 days. Wish I could have seen Canada a lot slower but Canada and myself were taking the Covid-19 thing pretty seriously. Feel free to check out my full write up on my website here...

    $200 5KW Portable Diesel Air Heater

    Yeah so far I almost exclusivly run my 5kw heater at 1.6hz or lower and haven't had an issues yet. I do occasionally run it full blast for about 5 mins thinking that might be helping but hard to say without pulling it apart I guess.

    SMS Text and Email via APRS using APRSdroid

    Ah ok thanks for straightening me out on that. Unfortunately things like the smart beaconing and wifi connectivity are not working correctly on the Tracker4 and have been verified by a few people on their forum. The Mobilinkd seemed pretty popular on the internet but I don't like how it isn't...

    SMS Text and Email via APRS using APRSdroid

    I just got APRSDroid with offline OSM working at it's great. Used one of the full USA maps and it's so nice not having to worry about trying to cache google maps. Do you use any theme or just the stock map file?

    SMS Text and Email via APRS using APRSdroid

    Ah nice I'm thinking of getting a one as well. However on my Yaesu FT-2900 I need to make up a special cable to connect it to the Mobilinkd it looks like. Something like this. Did you have to make up a special cable to get our radio to connect or were you able to find one online? Have you found...
