Looking forward to this, your findings and robust solutions! Another sleepless night (FML pain) but I'm anticipating this like when Geraldo was scheduled to open Al Capone's vault.
hell yea! I guess our email attack on them worked!

Hopefully this is more eventful than the “vault”!!
(This means we are old btw)

I just sent Ben a 500 question email… to get as much info and details as I can.
Including: is it worth it.
At the end of the day. Having the computer control the shock is only worth so much. Don’t get me wrong. As my daily driver I like sport mode, street mode and full Baja mode. I like being able to change it for where I’m driving or how.
But I have a feeling making the shocks serviceable alone will be worth it. For those who offroad, oil changes every season is worth it.
I put temp strips on my shocks in anticipation of a trip may 10th… it won’t be a hardcore trip, just a get away with the kids for my bday, hopefully with other families. But let’s be honest, it’s the long washboard that kills shocks. Just ask Toyota and Honda.
Those 2ft deep whoops, we only hammer for so long then stop and pat ourselves on the back that we didn’t wreck.

Might be wrong on this….but with the RHO release and the exact same suspension the demand will grow. Its price will open up more consumers unless the engine is a total fail. I had a gen 2 raptor and loved the truck and power, but I ran kings . Trx is even better with the adjustable shocks. Just needs some help. Thank yall for looking under the hood. Fingers crossed!

I actually like the idea of the rho. Same price as my trx but now with inflation a trx is $$$
The rho even though it’s a 6 cyl. Has the benefit of turbo. Turbos are always easier to make power. Give the rho another year for the kinks and r&d and 800 hp is a tune and snail away.
And yea. If I can have the stock shock with better base valving… its gonna embarrass some $12,000 shocks.
