Starlink Sale - US

[LabRat]

Seems the black Friday deals are dropping here in the US. Starlink Mini is on sale for $229, that's about 54% off list price.

That Starkink sale looks tempting.

@Krabby - do you know how difficult is to install the winch and the tray? Do you need new front springs once you install the winch?

It's my understanding that it's not too bad and I don't believe it requires any cutting. @anand has had the LFD tray on his so (as I have with just about everything I've done to my truck) he's a great reference. My intention is to upgrade my springs to compensate for the additional weight of the tray and probably of greater significance, the winch. I will not be using lift springs, but rather the appropriate IA factory springs.

Yeah, found after I posted this - Not sure how to remove or lock this one.

I got Starlink Mini for free in Australia.
They sent out an email a couple of months ago to all Starlink users offering the hardware for free
Last week I ordered a Bluetti AC180 so I can run the starlink mini on 240v and swap both between my work hilux and personal Grenadier as needed.

If it fits within your budget, I highly recommend it. We’ve used it extensively during remote travel, and it has proven its value multiple times.

Starlink does have limitations, just like any SATCOM system. Thick tree cover (large buildings in a city environment) can block the signal and cause weaker speeds or short dropouts, depending on how much the canopy cuts the line-of-sight.
