Basically this is what they use in the Crane and In emergency vehicle market. Like firetrucks and ambulances.

These components individually would be in the ~$260 range and it would give MORE info than the IBS, National Luna, etc. dual battery setups. These have Digital readouts with volts and amps in clear easy to read numbers. PLUS, there is an output on the back for a speaker for that audible tone people want. Not to forget the button people want to silence the alarm.

All these features and it is made stateside. LESS than the current options on the market. They have the Waterproof version too upon request at no additional cost.

The blue sea is still my main choice because I can control it manually at the ACR. Still, this could be an awesome setup. I believe the monitor and sensors can operate independently of the low voltage dual battery relay.

 

Just want to say that skygear has already provided the ultimate customer service I could ever imagine.

I freely admit that I am a complete novice when it comes to wiring, etc. Sure I have soldered in the past and hooked up my audio system but that's novice stuff IMO.

But I am about to get into some accessory projects and have had my eye on skygear's product(s)... only thing is I didn't know much about it and the more I read, the more confused I got.

So I just called him.

He spent 2 hours on the phone with me. Yes, 2 hours. Clearly explaining everything as it pertained to my future projects. No pressure, no upselling, just explaining what I might want to do.

Are there plenty of guys who want the bare minimum who could wire this thing up themselves? Sure. But I'm not that guy... and I'd rather buy a plug and play product for a couple of reasons.

1. Safety.
2. Supporting a TW member who works hard and provides an excellent product.

So in the vein of my MO "do it right from the the start" I just purchased a basic box, advanced wire harness, mounting plate, fuse tap and a spade clip wiring harness for the back of my OTRATTW switches.

Once I get it all installed, the simplicity of adding accessories is exactly what I'm looking for.

I also look to learn in every project I undertake. I've already learned so much about wiring and look forward to learning more as I get into the projects.

Thanks once again, skygear.

I honestly cannot endorse him and this product enough.

 

Well said^^

 

Well I finally got around to installing my box and switches. I still need to hook up my light bar, pods and compressor but it was time to pick up the kids

Here are some pictures I was able to change out all my switches and move my USB/line in to the glove box with an pretty simple plug and play extension.

Incase any one missed the post you have to cut most of the pre-made mounting plate if you have ATRAC.

 

Those of us in the Tidewater area KNOW how creative and helpful he is! Though we get to hang with him now and then... he treats everyone the same. He's crazy like that!!!!!

 

Can I see closer pics of your brackets please? I have a 41.5" radius bar coming and I have the brackets drawn in my head on how I think it should go. Just trying to get more ideas

 

Here you go! Send me an email to magb321@gmail.com and I can send you a PDF with the drawings that I made to make them.

Still need a couple of tweets to get them done, but I'm getting close. I basically need to cut one of the brackets on top to allow the pipe to get out and weld the same pipe to the part where it connects with the light bar, I also need to change the bolts as they are butt ugly, and paint everything of course.











This last two are just for show

 

I like that street.

 

I've been fighting with the pipes in the house since last wednesday. First they were nocking, then one burst. Fixed that, a day later another n a different part of the house. Fix that, then the upstairs shower cartridge goes bad and makes a huge mess of the drywall and ceiling and carpet.

Needless to say, i have been backed up on orders. For those of you waiting on boxes, that is the reason why. Insurance finally came this morning along with their crew to survey the damage. They finally gave the go ahead for the repairs and removal of damaged materials. these past few months have been interesting. Lots of inefficient use of my time.

For as productive as I know I am, I really feel like I have been anything BUT productive. I know I have let some of you down. Unable to meet projected deadlines..

 

I don't have any orders ongoing with you so I know my .02 cents doesn't matter but. In my opinion it's ok. Stuff being on time is great. But eventually some is going to go wrong "sh#t happens" is it great that it happens? No. Does it make it ten times better when the man comes out and says something happened to delay your order? Definitely. Stuff happens to every person that sells stuff. It's how they deal with it that matters. You came out and didn't try to hide anything and that makes it ok in my book.

 

Now for good news

 

Anyone know what this is? Yeah, some joker got me when I wasn't home

 

Did someone steal a package?

 

Yep. 10 boxes. I highly doubt someone understood what they had in hand. Probably thought it was clothes or something else. Looked around the neighborhood and no dice.

Bad news is I am out more money till they are reimbursed. Deadlines.. Also, some of the boxes are backordered nationwide till the end of the month.

Again, if it can go wrong it has lately.

 

Hey skygear, do any of those pre-cut mounting plates fit a RFRM on a 2013 4x4 with ATRAC, or am I stuck with a RTMR if I want to do a fuse box in the spot behind the factory one?

 

Your luck sucks. My order can ship late, I don't care. I knew I was getting a one off custom set up and life can get in the way. I just hope skygear has some time to help me when I get around to the install.

Now.... How to get one of those brackets?
