Advice for Red TRX

Peter Bravestrong · Sep 10, 2022

I'm new here and nowhere near as knowledge as most of you so excuse my ignorance please. I ordered a 2023 TRX (level 2, red interior, tonneau) from Koons. I have been looking for ideas on this site for some easy modifications. I want to get the RAM emblem on the front grill and some baja lights on the front grill also. I think I just want that straight light on the very bottom of the front grill and a few of those round lights somewhere on the front grill. I also want to get the windows tinted to the legal limit in Maryland. First question is whether the dealer will do all of the modifications for me? The second question is what do you recommend for the Red emblem and for the baja lights. The last question is do you have any other suggestions? I want it to look mean, but not too gaudy. I am not handy and have zero time to do any of this, so I would need the dealer or someone to do this stuff for me. Thanks

BTW, I want a red RAM emblem on the front. I think I saw that I could get stickers from somewhere. Thx

I also have a red L-2 '23 ordered with all the graphics, red accents, steps and bead locks.

obviously, there's no end to what you can do , but in my opinion you can over do it. I've spent 2/3 of my life unscrewing up classic Mopar's so screwing one up is the last thing I want to do, even if it won't be a classic in my lifetime. kidderized just isn't for me.

My plan is to put the flame red Mirror caps on. paint the front and rear tow hooks body color and add a red SRT emblem in the grille. I'm on the fence with the red RAM stickers for the front .

The Weathertech flaps look like a good addition. but I don't care much for the looks , I'm a painter so I may just repaint the black whenever it gets too chipped up.

Mud flaps and side steps will go a long way towards keeping your paint looking good.

Agreed, but they hang down there like cholo pipes.

I agree on the red body match mirror covers. Also I believe the red RAM in front is usually painted on not stickers but I could be wrong as I'm not doing that.

Reach out to @DIABLOPOWER702 he is the resident lighting guru. His setup can help land aircraft in a blinding sand storm.

No light helps with that, it’s all in god’s/fate’s hands.

All depends on the dealer, some will do supercharger swaps, others wont even install aftermarket lights.

With respect to the yellow headlights, did you consider using oracle or simply the tazer plug in?

Thx,

Jim

Be careful with the molded mud flaps, many have done some serious damage off-roading with these. May want to look for a rubber flap.

I assume that I can just take it to a local shop to get the RAM emblem painted red and get the lights installed?

Yeah, Tazer is the way to go. Plus you gain auto folding mirrors and much more.
