I’ve got a Tyredog colour TPMS like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-TPMS-TD1...oAAOSwTapV6P4u
Works ok, although I treat the tyre temperature readout as an relative indicator, I can’t see how any valve stem sensor can give an accurate tyre temperature.
The colour makes the screen easily readable when driving despite it’s small size.
If you frequently air down you might find a kit which has internal tyre sensors more convenient.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I used to think that until I had one... total pain in the arse.
Threw the display in the bin and told the tyre fitters to do the same with the valve sensor assy when I had new tyres fitted.
Always losing connectivity, battery issues, forgetting the settings, slow to air down/up etc etc
Might of been a dodgy one but put me off the pricks of things for ever

I also have a Tyre Dog unit. One of the sensors has crapped itself, but otherwise it is OK. I'm not sure that the Tyre Dog solutions is particularly good for off road use as the sensors are not well sealed. I also notice that on long drives the sensors on the 'sunny' side of the car get considerably hotter so the tyre temp readings are questionable.
I reckon the big benefit of tyre pressure sensors is when you fit them on a trailer. When I have had a flat on the trailer I haven't noticed until the tyre is completely destroyed. In one case I didn't know until the car headlights went out because the trailer tyre had taken out the brake line and side light wiring causing a short that took out all the headlights.

Yes Im the same have been keen on having 6 tyres monitored at once [camper]
I was going to use the internal style as in rough country your valve stems
can take a beating off road, thats why I only use very short valve stems.
Lets face it they are not cheap and would hate to lose one to a tree root or rock.

Cant see the point in those whats wrong with walking around the car and trailer and stretch the legs at the same time
we,ve been driving long enough to notice a soft tyre during routine checks before leaving or road side stop
