What did you buy today

The main thing to check is the network and FWIW Telstra has the best remote coverage so Telstra or any third party SIM that uses Telstra is the go.
Next most important is who/where the Server is that logs the data.
The tracker hardware is all but identical in performance and it is only a matter of choosing integrated or external GPS Antenna type and standby power spec

What brand is the GPS tracker you use? I'd be interested to try one of the Chinese ones but I wasn't sure how well they worked here.

I'll be sure to mount mine where the signal isn't compromised. I'm testing different areas of the car to see how it goes for signal strength.

Its just a cheapy, this is the one I have (3 of) and it uses a chinese server. So the chinese know where I am anytime, but I am not an important person to them so they wont care.
If the server goes down ( which it hasnt) I can direct sms the unit and it will tell me where it is without the server.
It logs speed too, so bear that in mind for insurance purposes.
I can hook it up to kill the fuel pump via sms too, which happens once the car slows to 20 kph which I havent bothered with.5DD12EA1-2479-4B1A-88E3-D6F6E1759BEB.jpeg

I love my patrol.. But if it was stolen I think I'd prefer to not get it back. How's the old saying go?.. "Drive it like you stole it" No telling what it's been through while it's been gone. I think I'd prefer the insurance money to go buy something new to love.

Mine has no special significance to me aside from all the blood sweat and tears though.

GQ Patrol guys, what is the diameter of the standard steering wheel please/? I am stuck at site and cannot measure mine. Repco have a special on CAT leather steering wheel covers for a 15" wheel. Can someone throw a tape over one pls and advise? Thanks in advance.

May I suggest OEM new for your Hard Yakka weaponised beast Philstar mate!

Found this left handed ripper on Ebay USA for only $99 bucks, only equates to $999.99 AUD at the moment!!
