Ya know..... we might have to fabricate a few brackets and motor mounts but
there could be a great benefit to a mid-engined XJ pushing 1000 pound-feet
of torque.
We might have to lift it a bit to clear the tires.... well..... maybe
not....

Ahh yes, the panic button. This is completely different than the satellite
systems many trucks are equipped with, it's just a fuel interrupt via
satellite. I think it would be easy to incorporate a shut off into today's
systems http://www.qualcomm.com/qwbs/solutio...mnitracs.shtml but
it's use could be catastrophic. I doubt any governing body would empower a
fleet operator the ability flip the switch on a whim. Satellite systems tap
into the truck computer but only monitor its system... operating speed, RPM,
fuel economy, PTO use, idling. GPS monitoring is optional as is text
messaging. This system has so many possible uses (cellular, web browsing,
email, television signals etc.) but the transfer rates are extremely
expensive. Our fleet Mgr. recommends using canned messages rather than free
form because we pay per character. If we can't sum up the content of a
message in one sentence, it's actually cheaper to pick up the cell phone.
