SWXterraClub Member Registered: 16/08/00 Posts: 626 Loc: Dallas, Texas USA	Smart Tire Pressure monitor... Pressure Monitor Xterraparts.com was wondering if there is any interest in this product and asked for some feed back. _________________________ Southwestern Xterra Club http://swxc.org info@swxc.org

If not, it would get kind of annoying if you are purposely running low air pressure (i.e. when going off road). Other than that, it seems like a cool gadget to have. I wouldn't mind owning one but I can think of other ways to spend the $200+

And how many people actually use that off-roading anyway. That is why we carry spare tires. Quote: Originally posted by Olegkha: 3 230parts+50$ to take tires off, install censor, and put tires back on = close to 300$ ;( Perhaps good for someone getting new tires.

Harrison Member Registered: 05/07/02 Posts: 372 Loc: Fort Worth/ Lubbock, Texas	I have been looking into a system like this for some time now I am excited xterraparts.com has it and at a good price. I like cool gadgets in my X and this is one of them. I don't do much/almost non off-roding so I like the idea to warn you of a possible problem. I do the drive between Lubbock, TX and Fort Worth, TX and I like to have a heads up if I am having any problems with my tire presser. I will buy one once I get $300, and install my grill guard(buying in December) and KC lights (WHich I already have). Or if they go on a supper sale. _________________________ Thanks, Harrison

p.i.n.o. Member Registered: 21/09/00 Posts: 2229 Loc: Sugar Land, TX	Thanks for the info Carlton. Is it me or did Xterraparts just add the little note that the pressure levels can be adjusted? I know I couldn't have missed reading that the first time around. [edited to add] That remote display unit is sweet. I would love to be see the actual air pressure and temperature for each tire! I just might have to save up for one for Xmas[/edit]
