Laynrockers 21' TRX build

Laynrockers07 · Nov 8, 2021

Just picked up my TRX last week. I am starting to assemble my build list and research this forum and others places to try and learn from others and whats worked etc. I currently have been daily driving my 18' raptor that I built. After test driving the TRX I was completely sold. I have always had high HP cars and when I switched to the raptor I enjoyed the truck and off-road capabilities but it was lacking in the suspension, handling and drivetrain compartments. The TRX stock is a beast and made it an easy switch for me. The TRX I found locally and was a good deal compared to new, already came with 37's KM3's, front and rear ADD bumpers, Led's, and AMP research steps.

Some pics below and a few questions for you all.

what is the best bed cover? I have a Backflip on my Raptor. Not many complaints wondering what the consensus is for the TRX
best leveling kit? from reading seems perch kits for the front is best solution.
Best intake? any proven dyne numbers before taking off stock?
best motor upgrades for daily driving and 91 oct? upper/lower pulleys, tune, headers injectors and plugs? any good threads with dyne results..

thanks in advance, look forward to the build and learning from you all and your builds.

Welcome to the forum @Laynrockers07! Look forward to seeing the mods you do to what already looks like an epic build.

Lots of info on here around the questions you have. The AFE intake hasn't shipped yet and someone just posted that they pushed delivery back again to Q1 so no ones been able to try it out sadly.

I would hit up @Johnny@JustBoltOns for tonneau cover guidance. He pretty much carries all the good ones and can give feedback on what works for your needs. Theres also a forum coupon he can give you to save on the bed cover.

Couple good threads for some performance builds going on:

Fuel and mod questions e85 woth an occasional 93 ;)

Soooooooo. The Trx is half apart and thinking of taking it to another level while there. Currently have ripa 800 with 1k injectors. Am looking at e85 and leveraging the proflex kit for e85 sensor and auto adjustments. I really don’t want to do a bap system but does not sound like there are...

Ok ordered the Bakflip bedcover. I have one of them on my Raptor and it has held up well. Thanks again @Johnny@JustBoltOns for the discount code.
Also ordered the perch front kit from Icon. Again i have a fully icon suspension on my Raptor and trust their products.

Seems all Air intakes are back ordered. Waiting to get more info and get one ordered. Also still researching the rest of the motor mods.

Beautiful truck, I really like the ADD bumpers!

Got the truck wrapped. Did a clean little logo underlay for my development company.

Still waiting on parts to come in, ordered the kibbetech UCA’s, picking wheels, got my perch kit from Icon, ordered the JL audio stealth box, and some small mods like the interior LED light kit etc. Cant wait for wheels and level kit and some powder coating goodies.

Has anyone powdercoated the stock shocks? How about relocating the reservoir so their not hidden?

Love the wheels and tire combination on the Raptor. What wheels are they?

This looks great. Any rubbing with the 37 KM3? Did you ever install your lift and wheels?

No rubbing at stock height.

Decided on 18" Methods. Still waiting on the flat center caps.. This is with the Icon perch kit installed..

Next waiting on the custom sub box, then will finish the Sterio. And motor work, tune, etc.
